Kinda Boring Really

Not much new at 505 West 8th Street...Eddie is doing great, we have upgraded him from crate, to basement to full access to the house while we are gone and he does well...He jumped on the couch a couple of times so Lisa has put three folding chairs in front of the couch while we are gone and it has cured the problem.  He is a great dog.

We took him to the dog park last week and he had a blast, i'm sure we will try to get there once or twice this week, it's good for him to interact with other dogs.

Last weekend was a good - but quick one.  We met some friends Friday night for supper before seeing hangover (great laughs, great movie).  Afterwards, we (mainly I, Lisa facebooked...is that a verb? if not, I just made it one) came home and watched Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.  I was really proud of myself as I didn't check the score or my phone once during the entire movie and watched the game without knowing who won.

Saturday, we woke up and did our usual Saturday tradition, which is brunch at the Hub. After brunch, we met Mandy and Justin  at the dog park with their dog Bear.  The two had a good time playing together.  Afterwards, I came home and mowed while Lisa did some work around the yard.  We then had to hurry and get ready as we had a wedding reception on the Mississippi River for my friend, and fellow SID Josh Deer and his bride, Stef.  They got married in Mexico back in January (thanks to the scheduling gods) and the reception was this weekend.  It was a blast.  Good food, good friends and a great time.

Sunday we had every intention on getting up and going to church but opted to stay home and clean up after our buddy Eddy.  Love the dog, but he sheds like it's his job.  So after vacuuming, sweeping, dusting and other odds and ends had a nice clean house.  We went and grabbed some groceries and came home only to unpack and then take Eddie to the park.

Around noon on Sunday, Curt (lisa's pop called) to see what he was doing. During the conversation, the words "Drive-Inn" came out of his mouth and we were sold so we went home and had supper with the Kahle's at the Drive-Inn in Winthrop...A summer classic.

Curt "What's everybody ordering"
Lisa "I'm ordering something different, I always get the California Burger, I just don't know what I want."
wait five minutes.
Waitress: "What do you guys want to order."
Lisa: "California Burger."

We took Eddie with and he got to meet Wally (all we are missing is The Beav) and they got along, wrestled stayed apart, got along wrestled, etc. etc.  Eddie has some issues with male dogs, but he is getting better.

So that's it... Not a whole lot new in our world.  We'll be going to Gaylord for Father's Day Eve before heading to Ringsted for Father's Day on Sunday.

One more note...My boss, PA, has been named to CoSIDA Hall of Fame.  You can find the press release here... Awesome  honour (spelled like the Canadians do) for an awesome guy.
