Well This post finds us at the end our visit with wonderful (special ;) friends and family! Alison just left tonight and dad leaves tomorrow. But first lets catch up on some work dad g0t done yesterday while Ali & i picked up a rental car.
Dd did a bang up job on the kitchen, his help was fantastic and definitely made his trip worth while, besides the fact that we got to be with him! :) He had some good ideas for the microwave and portable island fixture that were already here. He mounted the microwave on the wall, added a new plug for it, and installed under-the-counter lights for the sink!!! A very attractive touch...and very practical!
After we picked up the rental car, which was a very fun little car as you can see, we headed to Belle Ille! We were very blessed that there was a break in the clouds, the only break all weekend! It never stopped snowing however, in fact it was felt like blizzard to us! Then we headed out to "Main St.". This turned out to be one of the most fun dining experiences i have ever had! We went to the Mongolian BBQ. I had never been to one so it was very fun. Then we were supposed to go bowling but dad pooped on the party :) We decided instead to watch Casino Royal at home. Today was also a load of fun! We started off by going to the "Maritime Sailors Cathedral" for our Easter Celebration. This was alot of fun cuz of our knowledge of the song by Gordon Lightfoot, "the Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald". This cathedral was the one he mentions in the song that rang the bell 29 times, once for every sailor that ship. And we even got to hear the story from the two sons of the man who rang the bell!
After church we decided it would be fun to eat lunch in Canada! This was not quite as exciting as it sounds, but it's cool to be able to say that you went to another country for lunch! However the trip was not without excitement. When we came back across the bridge and reached the border gate, the officer asked us for our documents. Without hesitation i gave him our drivers licenses. He then laughed and asked us for our passports, when we said we didn't have them because people said we didn't need them yet he responded by saying OK, so let me see your birth certificates! My stomach dropped! I thought we were gonna get stuck in Canada! He was such a nice guy though and after a long conversation and a lot of questioning he let us go through!

"The Golden Griddle" Lunch in Canada
Coming back
OK, this is just the funniest little place. The Community Health Hut! I like things they have to offer, especially the "bean pie"! This is on the corner of our street and 8 mile!
In front of "the Casa".
So there's a quick wrap on the latest festivities in d-Town! BJ

Great post! You really captured the weekend, except for the part where the border patrol thought we were exotic dancers! :)
The border patrol thought you guys were exotic dancers??!! That's so funny!!
I have this essay I'm supposed to be writing... But the pictures and the stories were all so enticing. Like a book you're reading and can't put down. I'll be here to check it out more often now.
I don't think I realized how much you guys would have to do...
Keep up the hard work & amazing creativity!!
