Happy Friday!

I know I haven't posted anything for awhile. I've been in Caseville for the past couple weeks and just got back yesterday. I had my birthday (yippee yippee) while we were in Caseville and I had a really nice birthday with hubby. First we went out to dinner at this nice restaurant in Caseville...first time we've been there with the new owners and it's really nice with tablecloths on the tables, etc. Then we went up to the Eagles for drinks with my girlfriend. After we left the Eagles we decided to stop at the Bella Vista lounge for a couple more drinks. We haven't been in there in years. That's where my little one-bedroom condo is at....there's a restaurant/bar/lounge there. I use to go in there alot when I used the condo cause they have music and a friend and I use to love to go there and dance. But that was eons ago. So anyway, hubby and I decided to stop in and see if anything has changed. There weren't very many people in there at first. We got in there about 10:30. I remember in the 'old days' the place would be packed every Fri and Sat night in the summer....but not anymore. Not with the cops waiting to haul your ass in for having a good time....and the no-smoking has killed whatever business there was left anyway. I think there were about a half dozen people in there....very sad. But by midnight a party bus pulled up and over 30 people came in and the place started rocking. Although we left shortly after they got there. Guess it got too noisy for us...lol

I guess you can bring coolers and drink on a party bus. They were showing us pictures from their cell phones and the bus even had a pole for the girls to dance on...haha. It looked like a lot of fun. But I don't really understand why you can drink on a bus....but passengers in your car can't drink. I mean, you can't have any open containers of alcohol in your car, but a bus can have coolers with beer and alcohol and people drinking and partying....and NO SEAT BELTS EITHER. I don't understand that....

4th of July weekend was great. My son and his girlfriend, her daughter and a cousin came and stayed at the condo. They got there late in the afternoon on Saturday cause she had to work part of Saturday. But we all got together in the evening and went down to the beach and watched the fireworks. Sunday, I spent the afternoon on the beach with them. He had the jetski out and he had brought up another jetski that he ended up selling while he was there. Hubby didn't see them on Sunday cause he has to stay out of the sun and doesn't do the beach thing. We had a family barbeque planned for Monday and taking the kids in town for ice cream, etc, but those plans went a little haywire. So we did a quick lunch barbeque on Tuesday before they had to leave.

Monday my godson and his brother were coming to the area and he wanted to stop by and have me meet his brother. He has been looking for his brother for a long time. They were separated when they were ages 5 and 2 many years ago and were each adopted to separate families. He finally found him!! It turns out he lives about an hour or so from where my cottage is.....and my godson grew up near where my cottage is also. Now my godson lives in Wyoming but he was so excited to finally find his 'little' brother (who is not so little anymore...haha) that he drove almost 2000 miles to get here and meet him. So anyway, Monday they drove up to the thumb area so he could introduce him to his family and wanted to stop by my cottage so I could meet him as well. The last time I saw his brother, he was 1 years old! Their mother was a school friend of mine in the old days. She adopted them out when she couldn't take care of them anymore.....A long story. (Actually my godson and I reunited just a couple years ago through his searching.) So anyway, it was exciting to finally meet this long lost brother and also to see my godson again.....so like I said, the 4th of July weekend was great!!

So now I'm home and today the bathroom sink was plugged up bad and hubby took the pipes apart and figured there was just hair in there, but it was way more than that. He finally had to call in a professional plumber who basically had to use the little snakey thing....but it's all fixed now. I HATE plumbing problems!

MY SON CLOSED ON HIS NEW HOUSE TODAY!!!!!! So it's a done deal. They are so excited. He's going to replace some carpeting and do some painting before they move in. Now he has to sell the other house. He has someone who is interested in looking at it. I'm hoping he'll get lucky. He has a nice house.
