We are headed to Grand Rapids with some friends to try out an Italian restaurant. First up, we'll have a few cocktails at Blue Water Grill. It's located on a little lake and has lovely outside seating. Perfect day to enjoy a cocktail under an umbrella table. </p><p>The restaurant is Lacari's. A silician style restaurant. I'll be back with pictures and a review.<br><br></p><div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xoE7SRNYQmY/U7A8hwYT2LI/AAAAAAAAG8E/sOv6Ayy4DQ4/s620/Photo%25252020140629121912.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xoE7SRNYQmY/U7A8hwYT2LI/AAAAAAAAG8E/sOv6Ayy4DQ4/s500/Photo%25252020140629121912.jpg" id="blogsy-1404058764820.8933" class="aligncenter" width="500" height="332" alt=""></a></div><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> </p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> </p></div><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both;" id="blogsy_footer"><a href="http://blogsyapp.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogsyapp.com/images/blogsy_footer_icon.png" alt="Posted with Blogsy" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;" width="20" height="20" />Posted with Blogsy</a></div>Barbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04954374793104725245noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5663384347955733301.post-39677837852568886132014-06-25T09:25:00.001-04:002014-06-25T09:25:32.913-04:00Happy Birthday!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_tINJI8SJQs/U6rNv9GYRbI/AAAAAAAAG5s/RgJ8BudmwWE/s960/Photo%25252020140625092425.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_tINJI8SJQs/U6rNv9GYRbI/AAAAAAAAG5s/RgJ8BudmwWE/s500/Photo%25252020140625092425.jpg" id="blogsy-1403702723990.463" class="aligncenter" width="500" height="375" alt=""></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"> Can't believe my little Joslyn is three already!</p><p style="text-align: center;">Happy Birthday Missy!</p><p> </p><div style="text-align: right; font-size: small; clear: both;" id="blogsy_footer"><a href="http://blogsyapp.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://blogsyapp.com/images/blogsy_footer_icon.png" alt="Posted with Blogsy" style="vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 5px;" width="20" height="20" />Posted with Blogsy</a></div>Barbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04954374793104725245noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5663384347955733301.post-53540031977161444752014-06-24T20:05:00.001-04:002014-06-24T20:05:23.255-04:00Little Nashville<p> Our Inn for the Night.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-pWNvziplVy8/U6oSP3x-dcI/AAAAAAAAG5c/jXwTOgg_z8U/s1056/Photo%25252020140624200447.jpg" target="_blank" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-pWNvziplVy8/U6oSP3x-dcI/AAAAAAAAG5c/jXwTOgg_z8U/s500/Photo%25252020140624200447.jpg" id="blogsy-1403654720907.0208" class="aligncenter" width="500" height="375" alt=""></a></div><p>Dodged a tornado today.
