Hellooooo on this first Friday in September! A priest friend of ours was moved back to our area (yay!) and started having a Friday evening Mass each week, and I am hoping to start going tonight (yay!)...maybe followed by a quick date with the Mr.? Sounds like a plan!
Speaking of dates, the last time we went out on one, we played Keno while we ate. I had placed our Keno ticket by the ketchup on the table, and when we left we completely forgot about the ticket. A few minutes later I remembered, so we turned around and Phil went back into the restaurant to get our ticket but the table had been cleared. He asked the manager if anyone found it, and our waitress overheard and with a look of disappointment on her face, went over to her book and took it out of the back and handed it to Phil. Only later when I went to check to see if we had won, I realized that the waitress had picked up our ticket from the table, cashed it out for the 13 games played, and got a new ticket for the seven games left. So she took our winnings of (I think) $6 and didn't even say anything when she gave Phil the new ticket back. Like, whaaaat?
Last Thursday, Maggie was playing in a volleyball game and landed wrong on her foot and fell in pain. They got her iced up and bandaged and then Phil took her to Urgent Care for an X-Ray which showed nothing was broken, just a sprain. She used crutches for a few days and then a boot for a few days, couldn't drive for a week, but is hoping to play in this weekend's game because it's feeling much better. The bruise was UGLY, but I'll spare y'all that photo.

The Cottage is only open weekends this month and we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It has been such a busy season for us, and we are grateful for all our loyal customers but it will be so nice to have a day with no work in October.
