This past weekend was pretty busy. Lisa had, or participated, in her second garage sale beginning on Thursday and did pretty well. The sale pulled in over $900 but only about $400 of it was ours. We did manage to sell some larger items that we have been wanting to part with for awhile. We sold an old patio table and chairs, the flowered couch that sat in our living room that we rarely ever sat in if ever, the Thomas the Tank Engine train table, coffee table and end tables as well as other items that were collecting dust. Now that the living room is pretty much cleared out for the exception of a diaper changing table, a piano and a make shift desk we are going to transform it into a home office. So now the task begins to look for a couple of leather chairs and a desk.

Brad also came into town this past weekend. He arrived on Friday and we ended up taking a trip to the adult candy store (liquor/beer store) and picked up a bottle of Red Breast and a six of Mad Anthony's pale ale. The Red Breast is remarkably smooth and other than the fact it is twice as expensive as Jameson's, it is my new favorite Irish Whiskey. Brad, Bev, Ted and I sampled Brad's home brew, the Mad Anthony and some mead that Brad has brewing in his basement. The mead was very good, not that his home brew is not good but the mead was different. I would describe it closer in taste to wine than beer. The mead will probably only get better with time.

Saturday, we all headed to the Woodville Army Surplus store to browse a bit, Titgemeiers for home brewing supplies and then we ended up at The Maumee Brewing Company for dinner and beer.

Sunday went out to breakfast at Rumors and pretty much just hung out the rest of the day.

This week we have a house guest. Jill and Todd's dog is staying with us while they are on vacation. It's strange having a dog around the house all the time again. It's nice but also inconvenient at the same time.

I also booked Lisa and my annual trip to Columbus to act like 21 year old college kids (at least I do). Can't wait for the sweet sound of Heineygate and the cold beer that goes with it. This year we are going to see some singer that Lisa go out to hear in college. I'm sure he won't be anywhere as good as she remembers since she was in a drunken fog every time she heard him sing! Not sure what else is planned for that weekend but I'm sure it will be fun.
