Memorial Weekend 2009

Shawn & Melissa joined Grandpa Fred & Uncle Fred in Door County for Memorial Weekend. We were so pleased as we had perfect weather for it. It was not too windy or cold and did not rain! We could not have asked for a nicer weekend.

We began our weekend with stopping at A&W in Manitowoc. The dogs were given a special doggy cone with a dog treat topper! They loved it.

On Saturday, Uncle Fred & Melissa went into town for some groceries while Shawn & Grandpa Fred stayed behind to do a little yard work and cottage maintenance. Saturday night we cooked out for dinner and Melissa was a little of her card playing game and let Uncle Fred beat her by over 100 points. Ouch!

On Sunday, Shawn & Melissa went into town to do a little shopping but with little success. On the way back we stopped at the marina to check out the new Yacht Palmer Johnson was building. It was a 150 foot long yacht, the Blue Ice. They were still working on the finish carpentry but looked just gorgeous. Rumors indicated that the yacht'sfinal destination is somewhere in the Mediterranean.

After we got back to the cottage, we relaxed in the shade and enjoyed some wonderful conversation with Grandpa Fred, Uncle Fred & Uncle Mark. Brewer and JoBu really liked to watch people walk or drive by the cottage. In fact, Brewer made a game of it to get under Grandpa Fred's skin...he liked to charge out of the driveway after people. Well. Grandpa did not think this was amusing so he took care of the situation and tied him up! Party pooper! Once Brewer was tied up, JoBu did his best to free Brewer of his new restrictions and get back to their game! That wasn't as successful.
