UPGW

UPGW {Union Pier Girls' Weekend} 2012 is in the books.  Walking, shopping, eating, drinking, laughing, swimming, Euchre{ing}, not much sleeping...
A few highlights:

1. The Chicken Thief:  As we were unpacking Kirsten hands me the chicken, still a little frozen, and says, "Put this out there {pointing to the new enclosed porch} and I'll cut it after we've unpacked."  So I do.  Fast forward to EARLY {like 5:00} Friday morning...Anita and I are awakened by Kirsten's laughing/crying.  I can't figure out is she's in the middle of a melt-down or can't catch her breath from laughing too hard.  And she says, "Someone stole the chicken."  And she can't stop laughing.  And then I remember, the chicken, it's out on the porch...But she really thought someone had come in and stolen just the chicken. {Why this happened at 5 am is beyond my understanding}
2. Someone DID steal Kirsten's flip flops.  She had to walk home over the rocks, "Just like Mary Magdalene" and she made a sign to express her feelings.
3. Anita and I did not win very much at Euchre.  I did win at Pounce.
4. Anita & I went to Oinks for the first time ~ YUMMY Chocolate Covered Pretzel Ice Cream in a Sugar Cone.

5. We found a wonderful store...Frecklefarm.  I bought a GREAT metal sunflower for my garden.
6. The Burger King we stopped at was out of sweet potato fries & ice.
