Why Not at the What Not

Jim and I went to Fennville Saturday night to the What Not Inn. We met Esther and some of her friends there for dinner and music. This band Entourage was there, and they were really fun to listen to . They are based in GR, they play here, in GH and GR at the BOB. This guy was my favorite, how often do you get to hear an accordian player with a band Huh ! I can about imagine what Dan will say when he sees this blog, open up to new things Dan ! Oh and by the way, when they played a love song the accordian player mouthed to me "This ones for you " I'm really not sure if I imagined that but what the hay, it makes for a more exciting story.

The keyboard player and the guitar player who also sang, played trombone, trumpet, etc.. Very talented guy.

And not to forget Alvie, her voice is awsome !

Esther and her friend Carol, both wishing they were up their playing their saxaphones !

Ed and Carol, the soon to be newlyweds !

We had so much fun, this band played a variety of music : Aretha Franklin, Eric Clapton, Johnny Cash, Jimmy Buffet, just to name a few. Oh and the food was really good too , we may have to go back again.

New Toys

Jim has been busy with his latest toy (it's actually a toy for Ben) he had fun hunting for, fixing up, getting all the necessary supplies for the new moped (raising a ruckus Honda).

Here Bandit is trying to get into the action, she was hoping to go along with me as I delivered Ben's belated birthday present.
Here's Ben on his new moped. I did not stay real long since Ben had to go to work at 3 pm.

We did have time to have lunch at the Grand Traverse Pie Company, it's about 1/2 mi. from Bens apt. on Hagadorn in Lansing. I usually buy him lunch and a chicken pot pie to go, thats what he is holding up , it comes frozen so he can bake it for an easy meal next week.

Since I had the week off, I spent a day in Chicago seeing Dan, I took Esther along and we rode the train. I also went to Chicago over the weekend with Jim,Bill, and Jean H. as he had his lab convention. I also spent a day with my friend Gret and we went to Good Will stores in Holland and GR. We found some fun stuff. We also went to a second hand boutique in East GR, I found a Jones of NY spring dress coat for $24.oo. I wanted this really cool Jimmy Choo purse but it was pricey $78.00 so I thought it through and decided against it. Then we found this Second Time Around furniture store and I saw these bar stools and fell in love. They will look great in the basement if it ever gets finished. The down side to my vacation is I have been sick. I started an antibiotic for a sinus infection today. Oh well, glad I did not have a trip planned, no fun to be sick away from home.
