 Veterans Day - utmost appreciation to all who have sacrificed and served - where would our country be without them? 

The girls were all swimming at a meet at the U of M Aquatic Center yesterday and although I wasn’t too excited about spending the whole day there, I am glad that I went.  Each granddaughter swam in 4 events and all performed respectably, improving on previous times and doing an event that they hadn’t done before. Camille and Norah both swam their first 200 yard freestyle event. 

It was a good thing that I had Deb walk Joey as it was almost 5:00 when I got home. Needless to say, it was a lazy and early to bed night for me.

This morning, Joey and I met Ben and Yoshi and Lois at Staring Lake and took the hike around the lake and then stopped at Smith for a coffee and pastry. I’m always honored when my sons want to hang out with me.

I had an appointment to have my tires rotated at Costco this afternoon and was happy to hear that they still have plenty of tread on them. I do need to have an alignment, as they said the tires are wearing unevenly - added to the ‘to do’ list.
