JULY 17
I woke up refreshed
and ready to start my very busy day! We got the rental car, and Wendy let me
help her drive! Well, I know I wasn’t really driving, but it was a kick to be
on the stick and make ‘vroom ‘vroom noises and pretend I was AJ Foyt! You know,
that KIA sock monkey is not the only sock monkey who gets to drive! And – not
just because I’m in Detroit – I drive American! I was happy to be in Chrysler PT Cruiser again - just like the good old days!
Fortunately for me,
Wendy drove to Leo’s for breakfast. Even though I’m truly stuffed all of the
time, I was pretty hungry. Their menu is huge, and I had a hard time choosing
my breakfast. I was looking at the menu when Ken said, “Hey, Ernie – The salad
on the menu looks like you!” By golly, he was right! That salad is darn
adorable!
I was overwhelmed
with joy to see my boy – Jesse! It has been years since we have played
together. He had a big show with his band in the evening, so we didn’t have
much time to play. Jesse took me to one of his favorite Royal Oak eateries –
Beyond Juice, where you can – get this! – “get a meal in a cup!” No kidding!
They serve smoothies that have just about anything healthy – or not – in them!
Jesse let me taste his favorite one – with coffee AND bananas and a whole lot
of other stuff in it. Other than it giving me an ice cream headache, it was
delicious! I like Jesse because he likes to share. And he’s a really great
player.
Frannie’s husband
(yes! That little girl is old enough to have a husband!) came to meet us at
Beyond Juice. He brought a lovely woman with him – his sister-in-law Jen. We
took a picture all together. Jen is the very smiley lady on the left. She lives
in Wyoming, and she was visiting Detroit to see family. You know, Jen doesn’t
have a blog about her travels, so I thought she absolutely needed to be in
mine!
Sunday was a very
full day, so I opted to not stay up late and see Jesse play in the Concert of
Colors show. Even sock monkeys need to get their beauty sleep!
