Hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend. I managed to avoid laboring at home as we took a quick trip to Lakeside - "the Chautauqua on Lake Erie". My mom has a cottage up there and while we are always welcome to come it seems like we don't get a chance to do that much. In 24 hours I did all kinds of memorable stuff:
- Rode with Christian on the old tandem to Marblehead (right "next door" to Lakeside) to see the lighthouse.
- Sat on the rocks at Marblehead and watched the roller coasters on Cedar Point climb their frames.
- Played shuffleboard on the world-class courts at Lakeside.
- Remained victorious over my boys in the shuffleboard.
- Played mini-golf on the course only about 50 feet from Lake Erie at Lakeside. The weather was perfect, the scene picturesque - I was with my boys - I can't say how "perfect" it felt.
- Remained respectable at mini-golf. (I parred the course -even got a hole-in-one -but lost by one stroke to my youngest son).
- Took lots of walks - several with my mother.
- Watch Christian juggle Lake Erie rocks as the waves rolled in.
- Ate good food outside. (I love eating outside).
- Ate Patio donuts. If you've never had a Patio donut (from the Patio Restaurant in Lakeside) you would be missing out - they are only served warm - right after they're made - their cake doughnuts beat Krispie Cremes! I'm sure it's the grease but they sure are good.
- Got to see fireworks over the Lake - they have a ceremony to close out the season at Lakeside - my brother-in-law Chip played at this closing, as well. It's always fun to watch him do his music!

Very nice....I'm glad you had a great time and I hope you are feeling better than you did when I talked to you last week.
Great memories. Thanks for sharing your 24 hours with us.
Especially liked the mental picture of you and your Mom walking (and no doubt talking). I envy anyone who can walk and talk at length with either you or your Mom.
My poor mom --- when we walk --- I talk, she listens.
