Family matters
On Saturday Will and I took a break from our feverish Craft Revival prep to go downtown. The fieldtrip had a disappointing start, but great finish. We suffered through the musical version of The Color Purple at the Fox (I liked one song out of about 35) and had a so-so Detroit Restaurant Week meal at 24 Grille (though the fried artichokes were to die for).
Afterwards, we stopped by to check out Uncle Paul's new digs in Woodbridge. Great little old, yet rehabbed, duplex. Two bedrooms, one and a half baths (with jet tub), back yard, laundry... And close to the Woodbridge Pub and community garden. 
Aunt Colleen and her new addition were also a part of the Spurgeon sibling gathering. Cash is a silly, muscly 50 pound English Bulldog. He took quite a shining to Paul. He joins Bubba at home. Wonder what Lake City gatherings will be like with two labs, one pitbull and two english bulldogs in residence...? Hmmm - might need to look into kennels in Cadillac.
Sunday was back to the grind until 5, when we gathered in Royal Oak for Grandpa Bill's birthday. Did I mention it was 85 degrees? Ahhh - heaven.
