A Fun and Busy Weekend

After serving 126 guests for Mansion Tea at The Whitney last Saturday, I came home, changed clothes, then we drove to Ann Arbor for granddaughter Izzy's [Isabella] graduation party.

Because their family is in transition from Chelsea to their newly purchased home in Zeeland, MI, they rented a large room at their church [242 Community Church which stands for Acts 2:42]  for the party.  It was the perfect venue with outdoor and indoor space.  Mother Nature cooperated by providing a beautiful day.  

There was a yummy food buffet inside as well as a food truck outside for grilled options [sliders, quesadillas, hoagies, etc.].  So fun!

There was lots of picture taking... Izzy with her parents, Samantha and Jeremy [below]

Lori was still in California helping granddaughter Tiffany and family get settled into their new apartment, so she couldn't attend the party, but she sent photos from California.

Lori and her granddaughters.  They will miss each other when she returns to Michigan.

After church on Sunday we returned to River Crab restaurant in St. Clair, MI [where we had our anniversary dinner a week earlier] to celebrate Father's Day.

Steve and Sharon treated her parents and Jerry and me for a combination anniversary and Father's Day dinner.  Larry and Sheena's anniversary is a week later than ours, so it was actually on their anniversary. 

I didn't get the combination dinner [coconut shrimp, salmon and crab cake] that I ordered the week before.  This time Jerry and I ordered the coconut shrimp entree.  I had already started eating when it occurred to me I should have taken a photo of the entree.  Trust me, it was delicious!

It was a beautiful day and guests were eating out by the water as well.

What a great weekend, and now new week begins...
