Friday afternoon kicked off the Mighty Martin Vacation 2017. But pictures start the night before...
 |
| So they've tilled up a couple of grassy trail sections around the west soccer fields- no idea why, but after Scrappy and I walked across this section Wednesday, they taped it off. Oh my, I damaged tiny dirt clods... |
 |
| It was a hot one Thursday evening, and Boofus and I took a good spell resting. Soon later, we saw a runner doubled over looking like upchucking might be in his future. |
 |
| Then, a way off, caught sight of this feller... |
 |
| Friday, Isaiah came for a visit |
 |
| Screw the camera, I want the lanyard! |
 |

Saturday Scrappy had a big day, starting at Metea Park....
Despite the presence of a rather large company picnic at the Nature Center area, it was a nice peaceful jaunt...
...complete with more monarchs than I've seen in about the last four years put together!
We finished the trip off with a stop at Culvers, where Scrappy had a huge cup of ice cream, several french fries, and various other bites. On the way home I saw what would be the second weirdest thing I'd see all day...
...why someone would want a huge flamingo dangling from their rear-view, IDK. Maybe he missed the trashy front yard he grew up in...
After a well-deserved nap, Laurie and I adjourned to Mitchell's for drinks and pool.
 |
| First game might have been the best game I ever played. I think Laurie said she took 3 shots total. |
 |
| Second was close to a mirror image. I took more than three shots, none of them good, though. |
 |
| Game three was a well-played, down to the wire affair that Laurie took to go up 2-1. |
 |
Laurie put in the 8 by accident to tie things up. Game five was another of my more typical games, so Laurie won 3 games to 2.
|
 |
| This is me dropping the camera as I took a shot. And why would I drop it (Outside of the 3 long islands and two duck farts)? |
 |
| Well, it might be that this woman was wearing a dress whose front was completely covered in orange peels... |
Chris:
ReplyDelete---Okay, so we officially refer to this week as the "MMV-2017"...got it.
(sounds like a car I'd wanna buy)
---damaged clods - that'll cost someone some $$$.
---yeah, run for fun doesn't have the appeal to me that it should have. I like to keep my meals where they belong (after I've eaten them).
---Dear me...more deer.
---That's the way to do it...have the little one in a SUPERHERO shirt early on!
---Scrappy got his day out...good for him.
---Okay, first you grab the squirrels and the rabbits, now you snatch the MONARCHS?
And we planted the milkweed! LOL.
---I'll bet that flamingo is a HUGE air-freshener (to make the pot smell go away) LMAO!
---Remember...pool is like life...it's ALL about WHERE you place your balls!
(okay, that didn't come out quite right)
BTW, well done, Laurie.
---Oooookkaaaayyyy,,,orange peels, huh?
Quite the "illustrated woman".
Maybe she was in search of some sangria to go with that dress?
Anyway, a good time had by those in attendance, right?
Stay safe (and save the 8-ball for last) up there, brother.
A friend of mine sent me a picture of a flamingo in her flower bed with the caption, "Thanks, Chris." Can't please everyone...
DeleteWhen I think pool I think of my brother who plays and has a table in his shed/man cave, me I would suck at it. Tim used to play when I first met him. All in all it looks like a good time was had
ReplyDeleteMaybe too good a time.
