A Full Life
I've gotta warn you, I am running on less than five hours of sleep right now, so I am not sure how cohesive this post is going to be. Trust me, it won't be a crap post, I have some really good photos to share from the weekend, but I just don't know right now how much sense it is going to make.
The weekend started off pretty decent on Friday with a regular day of work and then a quick trip to a couple of places after work. First we had to run to the grocery store and have our groceries loaded up into the back of the car. Then we had to run to Costco to pick up egg whites. Due to the egg shortage they have been hit or miss with their inventory. We got an alert that they finally had some, so @mrsbozz wanted to run in and pick some up.
Finally, we stopped to pick up some BBQ for dinner from a local place and settled in for what we thought would be a quiet night.
I've started to realize as much as I love BBQ, there are a lot of places that just don't do it very well, but they still charge an arm and a leg for it. I think I would prefer to do it myself.
My buddy @a4xjeeper picked up a custom smoker from Cotton Gin Smokers, and I have to admit, I am a bit jealous. It's pretty sweet looking.
As I said, we were going to settle in for a quiet night, but then @diamonddave's wife called who just happens to be @mrsbozz's best friend and asked if it was okay to stop by for a few drinks. We were happy to have her and she stayed for a couple of hours chatting and catching up with us. It was nice.
Saturday morning was cold, but my wife and I braved the cold to watch our nephew play softball in a nearby town. Unfortunately, their team didn't do very well, but this is only his second or third year playing and I have a feeling they will get better as they go. I'll probably cover more of the game on my @bozz.sports account.
The rest of the day Saturday we just relaxed and spent some time working around the house. I stepped outside for a quick second to grab the opening photo you see. It's a pretty tree in our front yard that has been flowering this Spring.
Sunday morning I went to church to sit through service with my parents, but when I arrived there was a fire truck in the parking lot. Shortly after that an ambulance pulled in. It appears someone had a medical emergency in the first service and they had to call 911. As far as I know the person ended up being okay. They had the second service as planned, and then I went home.
The rest of the day on Sunday is why I got so little sleep last night. Around 2 PM we headed down to Detroit, MI to go see the music artist Drake White at a venue called St. Andrews Hall. It's one of the few concert venues in Detroit that I haven't yet been to, so I was kind of excited.
We met some friends for dinner before the show at a place called Sweetwater Tavern, and then we hung out in the parking lot before the show started. I'll be writing more about both of those later in the week.
The show was great, but it didn't finish until about 11:00 PM. Getting out of the city was pretty easy, but we still had a two hour drive home, so we didn't pull into our driveway until just about 12:30 at night. The friend we went with were a little smarter and they got a hotel and spent the night there, but we didn't want to take the day off work today, so we slept in a little, but still managed to drag our butts into the office.
I actually feel like I have a bit of a "second wind" right now, but I have a feeling I am going to crash really hard sometime this afternoon. Wish me luck!

Talk about a fun weekend! You packed in quite a bit in there. Glad to hear you finally found some egg whites at Costco, they have been very hit and miss as of late here too!
That new smoker sounds sweet, I wouldn't mind one of those either! They aren't exactly cheap. Good barbeque is hard to find most places, even here places are hit and miss. That show looked like a great way to close out things, who needs sleep after all? lol
She eats the egg whites pretty much every morning. I prefer the whole egg, but I usually only eat eggs on the weekend. I had been looking at those smokers for a while, I didn't see the price right away, but when I saw they were running a promotion where you could get $300 off, I figured they were expensive. We have three BBQ places in the town where I grew up. One is meh, the other is really good, and the third has good burgers, but the BBQ is kind of middle of the road. They are all expensive!
That's a busy weekend! I'm glad you were able to enjoy so much. And I hope there's enough coffee in the office to get you through :-D What kind of music was the concert?
I'm sure there is somewhere, but I don't drink coffee! It was a mix of country and soul. I'll be sharing more about it tomorrow.
Wow, no coffee, that's tough. Drake White is the name, correct? to check it out on YT

Looks like it was a great weekend. Too bad you didn't get much sleep, but sounds like the show was worth it.
Yes, it was a really good show! I'm slowly dying as the day goes on today!

Love the flowers (first photo); it's so flourishing and lovely. It was a hectic weekend doing some errands and family duties. Random visit from friend/s can lighten up our weekend. No matter how busy you are, you still make time to attend church service. What better way to wrap up the weekend by attending a concert.
Thanks! It won't stay that way for long. The blooms are already starting to drop and eventually they will be replaced with leaves. It was a busy put nice weekend!
I know you live your life with full dignity and morality...this is the crux of every flow of life.
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Wow, @bozz , you didn’t just live the weekend — you conquered it!
It doesn't feel like it right now... but yes!
Driving in the night is harsh, but at times, it feels better to come back home and sleep because next day that stress of driving won't be there. The shortcomings in sleep would be managed in few days.
I actually don't mind driving at night, there is much less traffic and I was able to go a bit faster than I normally might. Just gotta watch out for those deer!

Wow quite an adventure! I remember seeing a show at St Andrew’s Hall back in the day! It was a great venue with parking right out back and the sounds was damn good.
Glad to see you made it back in 1 piece and your next sleep is gonna be epic.
I'm pretty in love with the flower, what kind of flower is it?
You had an amazing environment that is good for rides and walking.😍
