It’s been a great
Memorial Day weekend for me, so far, and there is still another day to go! On
Friday, I was invited on a boat cruise on the Detroit River. The weather was perfect and the company even
better. Most of my family was able to
hop aboard for the two-hour cruise. Despite
all the great food and drink from the Portofino Restaurant on board, we even
had the J.W. Wescott Tug Boat - an actual floating post office - deliver pizza! There
were at least 40 pizzas delivered to us just as we passed under the Ambassador
Bridge. Thankfully no pizzas were
damaged or lost in the deep water below as the tug docked to our deck.
The very next evening I
was at a family wedding at the beautiful Colony Club in downtown Detroit. The Colony Club is located between the Fox
Theatre and the Town Pump in Detroit’s Theatre District. The club has some interesting history. Matter of fact, just today I heard George Clooney had
spent some time at the Colony Club prior to shooting a scene there for his
movie The Ides of March. 
We all know that Memorial Day is the unofficial start of
summer. My pool is open and ready. Matter of fact, today I took the plunge…if
that’s what you want to call it. Joyce doesn’t “plunge” into anything. But I DID descend the stairs into the clear
waters. Quite refreshing. Now I am waiting for the grandchildren to
join me!
Just before my tradition of viewing the Memorial Day
Concert on the Lawn at the Capitol in D.C. , I decided to gas up my car and then make a quick run to the
grocery store for a couple of items.
I quickly ran through the store just scurrying the outer
aisles. After reaching the register and
paying for my few items, the clerk asked me if I preferred my milk in a bag. I told her I preferred it in a glass! I made her day!
Have a safe Memorial Day and take a minute to remember
our fallen heroes who have given us the freedom we cherish.
