Weekend With The Girls...

   Friday morning the sun came up and cast a golden glow on the pines. I was excited. This was the start of a weekend with my four daughters.   I had turned my ankle earlier in the week. I did not think I would be able to go along with the girls. But on Thursday,  I iced my ankle on/off   and rested.  On Friday morning I was well enough to go. The twins (Liz & Karen) went to Angie's and they came by to pick me up. We met up with Kathy at her house in northern Indiana.

  Liz, Kathy, Karen, me, and Angie down front. Gosh we take the worse selfies ever.  :):)

 We had rented a cottage in New Buffalo, Mich.  It was adorable.  Lots of beachy décor.

  I had to show this table set. Like reclaimed wood.  The desk was make of the same wood.

 Everything you would need, but we did not need the fireplace. :):) But were very thankful for the A.C.

  This shelf unit held  games to play ,if you could not get outside.   Friday evening the girls played Yatzee and ate pop corn.

 

  A galley kitchen, that had plenty of room. Plus a washer/dryer stacked by the back door.  Everything you could need in this sweet kitchen.

  Our first day, we went to late lunch at the Stray Dog, near the marina. The girls are saying cheese.

 The place was packed . Kathy and I. Everyone ordered something different. We usually taste each others foods...this is like a tradition with my girls.  I use to tease them about needing a Lazy Susan table...so we could just spin our plates around to each other.
  We enjoyed a good meal, went back to the cottage, Relaxed and played . There was a fire pit relaxing area. A deck with chairs and dining set. A small area set up for bocci ball. ...which Angie and Kathy played and laughed the whole time.  Later we all  freshened up and went to a near by casino (Four Winds). The girls had some dinner there...I just was not hungry after my pulled pork sliders, that I had for lunch.  So I just played a few machines ...slots. The girls played also. Not much...but I came away the big winner of 3 dollars. Yes, that's right...three  dollars. LOL.
    On Saturday we went to the town area , bought some things at the cute shops. I once again hurt my ankle on a pedestrian cross walk. You know those painted lines are like a thin rubber. I must have been dragging my feet. I hit that paint line and  it felt like a  hammer had struck my ankle. The girls take me home to rest. They go to the beach. Come back to the cottage get all showered and dressed and go to dinner. After dinner they pick me up (I had been icing my ankle)..we go to the beach for pictures...but alas , it was cloudy and wanted to rain. But I took photos anyways.  We go for ice cream , then back to the cottage. Sunday morning, it was clean the cottage, strip the beds, and go to breakfast....Our long awaited mini vacation was ending. 
  My ankle is better today....as if it all popped back into place once I rammed in on the painted cross walk strip. Go figure ??   I enjoyed every moment with my girls.  I am hoping we can do that again .
   Hope your weekend was good and this week is better. XO
