Summer

2024 Ann Arbor Art Fairs

[20-21 July, 2024]

Team Satoh and I drove up to Michigan to go to this year’s Ann Arbor Art Fairs, a local summer tradition and a stand-out memory from my U of M days, that takes over downtown Ann Arbor’s streets over 3 days every July. It was a warm and sunny day, perfect for strolling around endless booths of purveyors of every art form. It was great for people-watching, too!

The next day, we drove up further north to Midland to visit and enjoy lunch with family before the long trip back home.

Brisket Friday

Smoked a couple of briskets overnight on Thursday for (a) a family dinner on Friday, and (b) a promised gift for a friend whose wedding I wasn't able to attend due to a schedule conflict. In the end, both parties were extremely pleased with the result.

Cookout with the Breakfast Club

A cookout this past weekend to celebrate the Moodster’s birthday and to bid farewell to Steve who’s moving back to Alabama.
