Kedzie

The boys in Chicago now have a dog. Her name is Kedzie, she's a burnese mountain dog, or something like that. Rob brought her to spend the weekend with us. She's really got a lot of energy and really wore us out she loves attention.

1962 Corvette

Here is a shot of the neighbors vintage corvette. As usual he has backed it in. In fact all his cars and truck are always backed in I'm not sure why he does this.... Maybe he can get out faster in case of an emergency. I'm just not sure. Someday i'll have to ask him.

Art Prize 2011

We got down to ArtPrize twice this year. The art didn't seem as good as the past but the size of the crowds doubled. Hence, two visits. My favorite thing about Art Prize is stoppnig to eat or should I say drink, We were able to hit The Hopcat and The Cottage Bar this year. The Hopcat is rated one of the best beer bars in the country and the Cottage Bar is always picked as the best burger joint in GR. They both lived up to their billing.

Amy's Wedding

Sorry about the long time between posts. I'd like to say it's been a busy summer, which it has, but its more that. I've just become lazy in my old age. Anyway, it was nice to get the whole Cronin family together again as you can see in the picture. My sisters daughter got married in Germantown, Wisconsin ( just north of Milwaukee). The wedding was beautiful from what I could tell, as I got out of my seat to use the restroom just before the ceremony, and got locked out of the wedding. Luckily there were HD tv's in the lobby so myself and another late arriving guest were able to watch.

Home Alone

MJ and Kellie are heading to Seattle for a graduation this week and with Rob Living in Chicago, it looks like I will be Home Alone from Wednesday thru Sunday. This is the longest I have been on my own since 1977. But, not to worry I have taken vacation this week as well and have numerous annual projects to complete. In fact,I may need to take a vacation to recover from this vacation.

Yesterdog

The old neighbors are headin this way for the weekend and Friday night we will be dining at the nationaly renowned Yesterdog. You know from the movie "American Pie". I have lived here for over 16 years and this will be my first visit. Maybe I don't like hot dogs.
