Tuesday: We got up early and began our journey to the "thumb side" of Michigan. First stop was Frankenmuth, where we had lunch with some friends of Marlene and Ernie's at Oma's restaurant. Next we spent about an hour at Bronners Christmas Store. There are so many cool things. I had good self control and only bought a small gift for our dog-sitter. Tueday evening was spent at a Tiger's Baseball game. First we ate a diner right across the street from the stadium. Sarah was the photographer that evening and got lots of great shots. The game was a little slow going at first, but the end was so exciting! We were ahead, then tied, then a 2 run double by Cabrera but us ahead again. But the most exciting play for me was the steal home! The runner on first base led off and baited the catcher to throw out at second, forgetting that the man on third would run home, which he did and scored! YAY! Rodney finished and was the saving pitcher. Sarah's favorite pitcher, Porcello, got the win with 8 strikeouts!
Wednesday: I worked for 7. 5 hours. We enjoyed a meal at our local mexican restaurant for dinner.
Jeff had a gig with the Danish Band as he does tonight, tomorrow night, and Saturday! Mary spent the day with Brandon after she picked out her Danish costume and had her picture taken in it. She had a event last night at a craft store, and will have many appearances this weekend. She will be on a pontoon tonight for the Night of Illumination on a local lake.

Thursday: Finally sent in the broken surge protector with the long questionairre. Turned in the picture of Mary in her costume to the dentist. He has a poster with all of his patients that are part of the Royal Court. His office is downtown. I also prepared the bulkoogi with Mary's help. It will be delicious on Saturday when we eat it! I will be making yakimondue after the Parade on Saturday. Tonight is the flag raising and Danish band concert at the Gazebo.
Looking ahead: Tomorrow is Kiddie Princess parade, concerts, craft booths and many activities. Saturday is the Grand Dansk parade down our street. We have had several people bring their chairs for the event already. We hope that weather will be favorable this weekend as it looks like rain right now. Mom W. will be playing for church on Sunday. What a nice treat for everyone! Thanks mom! Sarah goes back to college that afternoon. She can't wait!
Better get going. Have to get dinner in the oven and Mary has a meeting for an upcoming gig here at our house at 6pm! Ready for a crazy filled night!
