Getting Ready for the Weekend

Pam and I went shopping yesterday to get ready for the weekend.  We stopped first at the Sporting Goods store to get a pair of running socks.  The two varieties came in 6-packs so I declined.  I just need a pair, maybe two.

Next we drove by the golf course where Bill and I have a tee time for Saturday.  The course looks pretty good.  It has a lot of little rolling hills and it looks pretty wide open.

It has been ages since I have played but I am really looking forward to it.  For $35 including the cart it seems like a pretty good deal.  If I can manage a few good shots.  It should be a fun day.  While Bill and I are on the course, Marg and Pam are going shopping.  Sounds like a win-win to me.

Speaking of shopping we went to Costco and stocked up for the next couple of months.  I don't remember the last time we bought so much meat, fish and chicken.  We cleaned off the cutting board each time and sliced it all up into portions for two.

Then we bagged it all and put it in the freezer.  Catfish, salmon and a whole lot more.  Grilling here we come!

I went for a run in the heat of the afternoon and it felt pretty good.  It was an easy day.  I usually mix easy, then hard, then easy runs.  I vary the course too.  One day I run it one direction, the next time the other.

After a quick shower and dinner, we drove over to Ann Arbor and met Adam at the bus.

He was returning from Chicago where he had been for a few days seeing a friend.

Later, we watched the coverage of the US Open.  Wow!  What a day for Phil.  He needed a good scoring round to get into contention.  Now to keep it up for two more rounds.

While that was going on, we built a 'canopy' over the sofa bed to give Adam a little privacy.  I am usually up sometime before 5:30 every day so we wanted to see if something would work.

I fastened eye-hooks into wood behind the crown molding on top.  Then we used nylon rope to string from one end to the other.  We also got some wire which was near the curtains and other hardware, but that didn't work out.  I was afraid it would scratch and scar the wood.  Instead, we threaded curtains we bought from IKEA earlier in the week with thin nylon rope.  Seems like it will work ~ we will see.

Thats all from this edition of the Roadrunner Chronicles except:  Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there!
