Took my Crew to the NWM Fair yesterday!
It was pretty empty while we were there, the Buckley Steam Engine Show is going on now too.
Everyone was probably there.
Have to get the yearly shot.
MY poor mom, I know she was bent in half because she didn't want to get her white pants dirty...
She's going to hate me for posting this BUT I LOVE IT!
Gotta go! Fishing Tournament to help with and then off to DETROIT!
What's on your schedule this weekend?
I haven't done one in awhile. This isn't exactly recent, it's from a few Detroit trips ago.
One of the things I love about Detroit is the FOOD options.
Here in Traverse City there just aren't that many options... if you like meat and potatoes your covered.
When we go to Detroit I like getting takeout from The Sushi House.
My favorite sushi place in Michigan.
This time we went in though... and we sat down... at a table... and we ordered!
It was hard to make a choice, everything there is SO GOOD!
I even like the sides.
I love me some Miso soup!
We finally settled on two rolls.
The Farmington roll
(crab meat, cucumber, unagi and avocado)
The House Special Roll, my favorite!
(shrimp tempura, cucumber, unagi, avocado and crab meat)
I have a close up of this one, it's cute caterpillar design... but it kinda looks scary close up. 
Yeah,they were very alike. We didn't realize we had ordered almost the same thing until they came, they just sounded so good!
To finish up we had a bowl of Sukiyaki Beef...
We were too stuffed for desert.
I suppose I'm reminiscing because Ben and I are off to Detroit again this weekend for his birthday.
I am sure that we will be going out to eat somewhere... somewhere of his choosing... The possibilities are endless.
Will it be Greek food? Mexican? Indian? Sushi again? Thai... I'm pretty sure it won't be Thai as he's allergic to peanuts!
What will it be I wonder... Whatever it is, it will be an adventure in eating!
If you could eat any kind of food right now, what would it be?
Is anyone else hungry?
Well I finally woke up and decided to join the world of the living!
I'm all done with the night shift, it actually wasn't that bad, the time went quickly but it will be nice to get back to my normal schedule.
I realized that I need to do a PPS 09 Post! So here it is!
If I have missed CIRCLES or a FACE that you have posted let me know and I'll add it!

HAPPY HUNTING!

Working nights has it's advantages... I get to see the moon rise and set...
Whenever I see something beautiful that has to do with the heavens I think of Marsha.
Which is fitting because tomorrow is her BIRTHDAY!
But since I don't know if I'll be awake tomorrow, I'll say it today.
mlbncsga... I LOVE being one of your morning glories!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU ROCK!
We are spending a few days in Detroit with my Brother in law Mat, my beautiful Sister D and brilliant Nephew Sam.
Yesterday we went on a search for the Fairy Doors of Ann Arbor!
The first door we found was the scariest and least expected.
Charlie found it and said that doesn't look like a Fairy door!
When we looked at the map we found that it isn't! It was a Goblin door... the kids wouldn't knock on it because they didn't want to get carried away by goblins.
Ironically it was the only door they didn't knock on all day!
I think the Goblins were spying on us, this lamp is right by the door...
There were Fairy entrances all over.
Some of the doors hung in midair.
There were always little gifts of money and candy left.
The kids had to knock on every one.
Some they could even peek inside of.
There was always another door on the other side leading to, presumably, the Land of Fairy.
This one also had a little fairy toy store in it.
There was a door at the Library... of course in the FAIRYTALE section!
We ran into two other families that were on the same quest for the doors and we gave a map to one other family to get them started on theirs!
We found at least five other doors but I don't want to ruin it for you if YOU ever decide to go looking.
It was nice, FREE entertainment and I loved it almost as much as the kids did, okay, maybe more.
What's the silliest thing you've ever done on vacation?
I am an Elvis fan.
Old, fat, young, thin, real or imaginary, I don't care... it's all about the myth and legend.
A couple of weeks ago Ben's work place had it's annual Jamboree.
Elvis was there.
He looked much better then the last time I saw, okay, stalked him... HERE.
(This is a local high school senior who is using the money he gets from his gig to fill his college fund.)
The kids and I are in THE Motor City for a few days for fun and frolick.
My honey had to stay home, I miss him already. 
Are you an Elvis fan?
Better yet! Have you ever seen or channeled Elvis?
I have never seen a field so full of so many different kinds of flowers.
It was very cool, but not much fun to walk through, kinda scratchy.
Brown eyed Susans and Daisies always make me think of my Aunt Mary.
Well I suppose I should get back to the laundry, the kids and I are leaving for Detroit tomorrow.
Today I feel OVERWHELMED.
Ever have one of those days?
