So a funny thing happened today. I drove Frank to pick up his car from the mechanic’s, but just at the second that we pulled into the parking lot, my car suddenly sounded like a motorcycle. We paid for one car and left the other, with instructions from the mechanic to come back before 7. What to do? Hit the grocery store, buy  sushi and a green smoothie (I know, odd combo)..and have a picnic by Lake Banook, that’s what. This allowed us to check out the action…

..the rowing, paddling, kayaking, canoeing, swimming.  All in perfect weather.  Only downside is that I didn’t have a bathing suit with me. (Frank would watch…out for me, that is).  The big upside is that my car repair was FREE…how amazing is that? Funny story.
