A pretty solid weekend unfolded around here beginning shortly after the last post was submitted on Friday afternoon. Jenelle arrived a short time after that and we rang in the end of the week with some artichoke dip that she whipped up and pita chips. Our evening included a depressing hockey game that Michigan lost to Western by a couple of goals; before all that happened, though, we had Blimpy Burger and a Pizza Bob shake. Yummy on both counts.
Saturday didn't feel like one when we rolled out of Huron Towers at 6:30, but streaking north on a sunny cold day did feel like a day off. Our destination was Potter's Bakery in Traverse City- the last leg on our tour of vendors. We met with the owner, who is (and behaved like) a real business person, and solidified plans for the cake. With our final vendor selected (!) (hurray) (!) we visited Sutton's Bay, had a celebratory lunch at hip downtown sandwich spot Mustard's, and then saddled up and headed home. In the evening we tuned in for football (yeah USC, boo Arkansas) and then downed a ton more artichoke dip and were finished.
Today has been lazy: plenty of bowl-trajectory tracking, trip planning, and school work. Some future day there will be an ornry post about the college football postseason, but there are 3,803,275 other posts about that today so I won't go there. Instead, I'll play 'catch the milk ring' with Ollie.
