Saturday in Defiance

Dorothy, George, Nathan and I went on our usual morning walk with Guinness.  It is not a very fast walk.  Guinness is 14 years old.  We drove to a Farmer's Market to buy corn for dinner.  Nathan also bought a raspberry pie. Then we waited for George S and Amelia to show up before starting the pancakes. 

Dorothy was making cottage cheese pancakes with blueberries.  They were yummy. We had a multitude of choices of toppings.  We also had bacon, sausage and OJ.  What a feast!

Waiting patiently for the pancakes to be ready.

After brunch Nathan and Robbie helped Ed to put up some decorative stained glass fake  windows.

These stained glass pieces make it look like they have windows. They were made by the same neighbor woman.

Then it was game time.  We played a round of 10, 9, 8.  Then we headed over to George's place to see the unvieling of the new cement retaining wall that he made. On the way we  passed this cute bird house display.  I got Dorothy to stop long enough for me to get some pictures.

Dorothy got Amelia down for a nap and then the guys stayed to play Settlers.  I left with Dorothy.  I relaxed for the afternoon.

Nathan, George and Robbie returned.  Dorothy made veggie burgers for dinner.  The plan was to have those and for the people who wanted meat we would order burgers and go pick them up. Unfortunately, the burger place was closed because they were open at the Jazz festival.  I was glad to have the veggie burgers but Robbie and George S wanted pizza instead. The veggie burgers were delicious.  The corn was tasty as well.  I am eating way to much on this vacation. 

Amelia is just learning how to do stairs. She is adorable.  

We went on our usual evening stroll.

Unusual front door. I think I would find this scary.

We played another round of 10, 9, 8.   Then we headed back to our apartment.  Through much of this time George W, Robbie, Nathan and Martin were playing a computer game.  George had not played before, but got talked into it.  It was a way to connect with Martin who could not join us physically.

Today was another perfect weather day.
