Good morning GH.  Well, it is morning, but the day has not yet officially dawned.  Sugar the Weather Dog is still asleep and Mary has gotten up to do the laundry.  The temperature on the desktop is showing 46 degrees @ 5:55 AM, and the overall forecast is for warmer today than yesterday with great weather expected over the weekend.  A look out the Weather Window shows clear skies on the the  horizon and it looks to be a beautiful day on the way.  Had to share some of the things we did yesterday.  We finished planting our vegetable garden, got the herbs planted, and I almost finished my helicopter repairs.  A final inspection showed that the rotors were not properly attached and that could have resulted in a crash.  I got my new guitar tuner and that works great.  I also changed the air filters in the car after our sojourn into the wilds of dusty Beaver Island.  Today, I plan to dust and finish some additional cleaning on the upper level.  I will reserve the lower level dusting and vacuuming for tomorrow, just before the young folks visit.  I have to mention that Mary took her inaugural bike ride and pronounced her new bike a spectacular ride.  She was one for two on her walking trip to the city, finding new sandals, but not a windbreaker.  After all, it is late in the season.   I wore my new sandals at length yesterday and I pronounce them super.  Finally, I must report some local news.  A local clergy member has been asked to refrain from hugging the parish children and families since it doesn't look proper.  Maybe so, but what have we become?  A woman on the radio told a man suffering from diabetes and its related blindness that it was just a manifestation of his lack of ability to process all the sweetness in his life.  He needed to resolve that problem.  Some Western MI H.S. seniors were suspended for their senior prank.  What was so horrible you ask?   They rode their bikes to school, after telling the police chief, the mayor etc.  Oops, they forgot to tell the school.  Isn't that the point of a senior prank?  Finally, one of our local restaurants is scheduled to reopen soon as a chicken place.  I don't eat chicken, but at least it is a new idea.  Don't forget, that this is the weekend for Rib-fest here in GH.  Otherwise it is... Tea time.
