FRIDAY 14 thru SUNDAY 16 June 2024 — Friends, garage doors, & Father’s Day
Friday 14 … Friends come to visit and have dinner
I think we worked in the yard for the first part of the day, but stopped by 1 PM to get cleaned up.
A better view of the stand of smaller spruce, fir, and pine trees west of the firepit and NNW of our large stand of pines and firs. All of these trees had branches with tips close to the ground and with area around the base thick with weeds, vines, and even saplings.
Around mid-afternoon, John and Diane arrived to visit and have dinner. For dinner, Linda made tater tot casserole and for dessert, strawberry shortcake. Yum.
Saturday 15 … Garage door work continues, dinner with our grand-daughters
Dan (Everlast Doors) was back this morning at 9 AM to continue working on the installation of the new garage doors. Linda left for Ann Arbor to provide child-supervision to our grand-daughters while their mom and dad left on a trip to Lisbon, Portugal.
The tracks for the small garage door are installed and the panels have been fed in the tracks form the open end at the ceiling. Each pair of adjacent panels are attached with three hinges; left edge, center, and right edge. The center hinges are relatively visible in this photo.
The “street view” of the new/small garage door.
I drove down late afternoon and took “the girls” to Olga’s for dinner. Olga’s used to be a favorite of ours, but it was the first time the grand-daughters had been there, even though it is relatively close to their house. Linda stayed at their house until the 18th, when she was relieved of duty by our daughter, who would take care of Sadie until the parents returned.
Sunday 16 … Father’s Day at the Lake House
Linda took Madeline to the pick-up point for her bus (motorcoach) ride to Camp Algonquin. She and Sadie then proceeded to the Lake House to celebrate Father’s Day, where I met up with them along with Aunt Meghan and Uncle Chris. Brendan and Shawna were not back from their trip to Portugal in time for this gathering.
