Good afternoon GH.  I got a late start today, just because I just felt like it.  I could have gotten up at 4:00 AM, but I decided that I wanted to sleep more than blog.  Right now the current temperature on the desktop is 74 delightful degrees.  The view out the Weather Window is  clear blue skies and the sun is high in the sky.  Sugar the Weather Dog and I just came in from the deck.  She consumed a bone and I read my book.  I also drank some wine, and I will drink more after I am done here. Barb and Ed and Debbie and John went home yesterday.  Well, John and Debbie went home and Ed and Barb continued on to her south side people.  We had a great time and they indicated that they too enjoyed themselves.  On Friday evening, we stopped to see the Musical Fountain at the waterfront; after we had stopped in at the post and sat with Sally for awhile.  Ed and John tried some of the pickled sausage and while Ed liked it a lot, John was only okay with it.  It is an acquired taste.  I had some rum and Pepsi that was on special, and I pronounce it good.  Of course, at only $1.00 per glass, I liked it more.  We went to the Irish Music Festival in Muskegon yesterday.  The festival is held on the lakefront, next to the LST museum. Parking is only $5.00 for the whole day, and the proceeds go to the museum.  A win-win for all.   I played with the Irish music group in the session tent and the rest of the guests listened for awhile and then went off for some other attractions.  I liked the Festival and I want to go back again, even though I am not Irish.  Mary and I were really tired last night, and so we went to bed early.  The best part of the whole time was just swapping tales and old stories about the families.    Overall, we had a great time.  We are invited to Vegas, and we will probably go when the weather here gets too dicey.  So, until I have more to say, I'll just say, adios.  Just a reminder, Salmon Fest is coming up and the following weekend is the Indie Rock show in downtown GH.  A great chance for the likes of Adam and Steph to party hearty.
