beach day

I had the day off from work today since there are a couple of doctors out of the office on vacation. It was kind of nice having a day with no agenda. I went and checked out Old Navy this morning (not much there). Came home and mowed the yard. Then I drove out to Laketown beach ( I thought about riding my bike out there....) It is just as quick to get to Laketown beach as it is the State Park from our house. I like Laketown beach because it is much more private (there were only 3 other people when I get there) and it's free! Be ready for a good workout though...those stairs are killer! The water was perfect and I even went under. I was finally able to finish My Sister's Keeper. Seems like I have been reading it forever. Very good book. This was the first Jodi Picoult book I have read but I think I will try another. It was kind of hazy the whole time so I didn't think I was getting too much sun. I am so red now and look pretty silly. I felt like ice cream so I stopped at Frosty's (cupcake swirl flurry) which was my lunch :) I needed to go to Meijers for a few things and let Dolly ride along. We had brats on the grill and ate outside for supper. I made guacamole dip (thanks for the recipe Aunt Jean!) to take along to Pam's (Keith's sister) tomorrow. We plan to leave around 9:00. "As per normal" (saying of Aunt Carol) Keith and I are watching the Tigers. They sure have been on a roll!
