September is Usually a Fun Month with Lots of Good Weather Left.

Greg has a good hand I think
Saturday afternoon Patricia and Greg came to Point Edward to stay over for the Sunday Historic Homes of Port Huron Tour. I called John and Linda and they said they’d come too but would meet us here at the condo at 9:30 am Sunday.. We cooked up some ribs on the bbq that evening. A rousing game of Rumolli finished the night. (10 pm) God we’re getting old! The River Crab had good write ups, especially their Sunday Brunch. No-one ate again that day!

On Sunday John and Linda arrived as planned and we headed to Michigan. I had reservations at the River Crab near St Clair for their famous Sunday brunch. The tour of homes began at noon and included 6 homes and a furniture store. I think they must be running out of historic homes because there was only one or two that were worth showing in my opinion. The last stop, Ben’s Furniture was more interesting for its inventory than its historic significance. It was in the 1800’s, the first 3 story building in North America to be constructed from poured concrete (previously only 2 stories were done this way) hauled up by horses and steam engines. The building itself is just a big 3 story cube and not wildly interesting. Historic Homes Tour in Port Huron Michigan

The ladies Tricia, Wendy and Linda enjoyed the inventory at Ben's Furniture downtown Port Huron.
The fun of the day was the gabbing of the six of us as we went from place to place. We wound up around three and returned to Canada and sat on the Phoenix at the dock the rest of the day. Bill and Pauline joined us after passing by in their dinghy. Happy hour on the Phoenix. Look how happy they look! T'was a long day!

The final event of the day was the arrival of Wendy’s brothers Doug and Brad. They had left Leamington on Friday in Doug’s new Pearson 30 sailboat that he bought on eBay in Sandusky Ohio a few weeks ago. Bad weather and 25 knot winds drove them back on Friday but they persevered and made the trip up Lake Erie, the Detroit river to Windsor Saturday. Then they crossed Lake St Clair and up the St Clair River to arrive at the Condo by Sunday evening before sunset. They sailed as well as motored and Doug said the little Atomic 4 engine performed well.Wendy's brothers Doug and Brad in the Pearson 30, arrived right on time.

Another good September day ends calmly at the condo.
