We were planning to get lunch on Saturday and then go to their house, but Cheryl invited us for lunch. We told her not to fuss, but look at this wonderful lunch she had prepared - with lots of help from her husband Alan!
She had croissants, chicken salad, veggies and dip, tortillas and cheese dip, a yummy jello salad and homemade potato soup. We were so full! I told Cheryl that this was a much nicer lunch than I ever usually have!
After lunch, Cheryl took us to the park near their home. We had been looking for a bridge we saw on the internet, and she was sure she knew where it was.
This park also has a peacock aviary.
After we left the park, we drove around and Cheryl gave us a nice tour. We told her she could become a tour guide! Then we went back to their house and talked and talked!
We ordered supper out, Alan and their son Chad picked it up and we ate at their house.
We had such a good time, with lots of good conversation and laughs!
Thank you Alan and Cheryl for being such great hosts! You are always welcome in Michigan!
That was a very fun visit and the lunch they provided looks delish.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice visit; the food looked great, and you got to see some sights that are different for sure. Nothing like spending time with friends, near and far!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful time to get away with sisters to share time with another blogger! It looks like you and your sisters had a perfect weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis is so great, Mari. Cheryl's a love and I hope I get to meet her (and YOU) someday soon, in person! Not least because I'd like to eat lunch at her house, haaahaha. Hey that bridge? I'm salivating to take its picture. xoxo
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the best.....time with sisters and friends and that lunch!!!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful, Mari! Such a nice day for you all; the lunch looks so good!
ReplyDeleteThe peacocks remind me of the ones in St Augustine, usually around the fountain of youth. And, yes those colors! :)
xoxo
What a marvellous time you had. Your friend and her husband are certainly wonderful hosts.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing all the pictures and traveling along with you girls!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful time...you all look great, Mari. Have a beautiful day friend.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lot of fun! Love that bridge!
ReplyDeleteThe bridge and peacocks are extraordinary! So glad you and your sisters had this fun time with Cheryl. I have only recently "met" Cheryl and she is a joy to know. Sounds like her husband is very sweet, too.
ReplyDeleteHOpe you have a good day, Mari.
Well, you know I'm jealous! Cheryl and I taught next door to each other for four years and I have such fond memories from that. Alan is an amazing guy too. I'm so glad you had such a great time together. And THANK YOU for that beautiful picture of them. I am saving it to my files!
ReplyDeleteLooks like lots of fun! That peacock is beautiful - and the bridge too! Glad you all had a great time. :)
ReplyDeleteMari, thank you for calling me a few weeks ago to plan the trip down here to see Alan and me. I feel like you three girls are my daughters who live in Michigan.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely gifts and yes, I am reminded of you all as I see my gazing ball and now the linens and candle. I have never been to Michigan but I hear that you grow wonderful gardens there and that it is a beautiful state.
Thank you so much for your friendship on so many levels. We had such a good time catching up and yes.....all that laughing and having fun! You three sisters are a HOOT! Love all of you! Hope that you are getting caught up on your sleep. Have a wonderful day!
What a fun visit! And such impeccable hosts. ;) That lunch looked fabulous!! And that bridge is so cool!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun girlie trip. Thanks for sharing Hon.

These friends are keeper friends, but then so are you! Wow, I felt loved just looking at the lunch they prepared!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great friends! I also love those peacocks!!
ReplyDeleteThat trip was well worth the drive to visit with Cheryl and Alan! So much fun and laughs.
ReplyDeleteOkay so there's you at one end in a thick coat and Terri at the other in a t-shirt, who got the weather conditions right? :D
