Another lunch with friends

Mike and I drove separately to Ann Arbor on Tuesday, however we had lunch together along with a few old co-workers. We met up at Max & Erma’s and caught up with Cristine, Vickie, Sandra, Averill and Dave. It was great to see everyone and based on our conversations, everyone appears to be doing great.

After lunch, we headed back to Sweetwaters and spent the rest of the day working remotely. Mike stuck around until about 3pm when he got in the car to drive the 4+ hours to Alpena. I remained at the coffee shop until Kim showed around 4:30 and we headed to the Grizzly Den for a few beers. After 5pm we were joined by John and Carey. It was great to catch up with the three of them.

After Happy Hour, I headed back to Livonia to visit with my friends Jen and Rich. Aunt Quinn (that’s what Haley and RJ call me) was excited to spend some quality time with the kids. Haley told me all about going to kindergarten this year and her adventures riding the bus. RJ is starting to talk, so he didn’t say much…but he sure is a cutie pie.

It’s hard living 1200 miles away and not being able to see our friends more often, but we’re thankful for the time we do get to spend with them.
