A Microbrewery!

We certainly had a busy but fun weekend. I took Quincy to Cincinnati for his acting class on Saturday morning only to discover that downtown Cincy was an absolute mess of closed streets due to their yearly Breast cancer run. I wish I had known about this earlier as I would have planned better and probably joined in the cause. As it was, I finally had to just drop Quincy off a couple of blocks away while I circled for a parking spot. Quincy made it to his class without mishap and enjoyed it immensely. I watched and cheered on the runners for awhile while enjoying the perfectly gorgeous day before grabbing a cup of coffee and settling in with a good book at a local cafe while I waited for Quincy to finish.

We then hurried home so Josh could take off on another fruitless car buying adventure. We certainly seem to be having trouble getting what we want! Anyway, I volunteered in the soccer field concession stand all afternoon while Max's team played and lost another game. I then sent Quincy off to a babysitting job while I whipped up some appetizers to take to a friend's house. Josh joined us at Jane's house for a wonderful little outdoor dinner party before we all drove over to the grand opening of a local microbrewery! The whole town is excited about this latest addition to our fair "city" and the turn out was huge! Our good friend won 2nd place for his home brew in their home brew contest so we were all proud and had a great time! After church this morning, it was time to buckle down to work around the house. We finally got rid of the last boxes in the basement family room while Quincy and Tabitha mowed the lawn.

I unearthed Max's special hot dog machine that he has been sorely missing for the past two years so he made us a nice dinner of hot dogs and toasted buns!

Calvin was only a little disappointed to learn this evening that he did not make the 6th grade boys basketball team. Josh might have been more upset than he was!
