Weekend away

 It has been a month since I did a blog...not sure where the time went or why I checked out.  We traveled to Ann Arbor and Detroit area last weekend.  Michael had his heart surgeon doctors appt in Ann Arbor...all went well and we do not have to go back for 2 years!!! Yea!!!
Thursday night we stayed with Mike's cousin Chris and husband Marti in Fenton.  Great to catch up and make summer plans with them.(forgot to take their picture)
We had lunch with some TC friends, Jeff and Kathleen, who were in Ann Arbor for a doctor appt....great middle eastern restaurant...Ann Arbor has so many options .  Weather was cold and it felt like we were still in TC.  It had been 60 the day before!
We then went to Birmingham to stay with college friends Dan and Elaine.  Elaine is a very talented person...she makes pottery and made the beautiful tiles in her entrance way.
 We also visited my college suite mate  Cathy, her leader dog Lucy and her friend Michael.
We had not seen her in two years and she has a new house and had not met Lucy yet.  Cathy has had several leader dogs and we were lucky enough to adopt two when she retired them.. Louie and Era.  They were great dogs!!  It was fun to go out to lunch..at an Irish Pub...and catch up.
Cathy sang at our wedding and we hope she gets her guitar out to play at one of our anniversaries!!  She was the hit of our wedding!

We also had a great dinner with other college friends..lots of laughs and toasts.  There is nothing better than old friends
 Dan and Elaine in the back yard...we brought the cold TC weather with us.
 We took Riggs to the vet last week for his yearly check up and Finnley went with us...both dog and baby were a hit with the staff.
 Almost 8 months old and she is just adorable!!  Love the overalls with hearts.  We are waiting for her cousin  in Vermont to be born...due may 4th.  So exciting!!!  Love to all   Kathy and Michael
