For FlaMan, not me. Wish I had thought to get a pic of *him* because he was pretty well decked out despite some challenges getting ready for the occasion. We celebrated via lunch at Johnny’s Pour House in the beautiful little city of Flushing. Er, the GG says, “it’s beautiful except for the unfortunate name.” We were joined by the Lord and Lady of Linden.

We celebrated here last year and if the Pour House was/were(?)* closer to the Planet Ann Arbor, we would be regulars. Great food and lovely service, although I’m coming to realize if you are a friendly (not crotchety) old bag and you tip well, restaurant servers tend to treat you well. I had a Greek wrap and FlaMan got a BLT (they are on the “secret” menu) with extra bacon. Hey, it’s your birthday, go for that bacon.

Since the Great Lake State is finally warming up enough for Orange Cone Season, it can be challenging to gad about. We managed to miss the main traffic jam by prior knowledge and strategic avoidance on surface streets. The GG was fidgety about it all but I encouraged him to calm down and enjoy the scenic route.

All in all, it was a pretty long day and then we had to pick up Mooon Yooonit from the dealer when we got back into the orbit of The Planet Ann Arbor. But I love FlaMan and it’s hard for him to get out without help and it was a good time. I loved all the gabblety-gabblety with the Lady of Linden. I don’t have any biological sisters but I have sisters in spades via my in-laws. I love them all!

Oh, yeah, it is also my Grandma Margaret’s bday. I am not strong enough to count how many years old she would be if she were still alive. She is not collecting social security payments in any case. Where would they be sent?

*Was/were? Mrs. Pratt (8th grade English), where are you when I need you? Oh well, I’ll ask Margaret instead. I mean blahg Margaret, not grandma
