Friday I had a friend over to watch a very funny movie "Hall Pass" . I loved it! I got to play a tiny bit of Rockband Which I always love!
I got to watch the lightning in the sky from my deck late at night. That was very calming.
Saturday was the fair & REO. Also late night boat ride. Those boat rides are the best, they seem to bring the stars closer.
Sunday was great until my friend and I went into the water at Silver Beach in St. Joesph, MI.
This is the news article.

ST. JOSEPH — A 49-year-old Chicago man is alive after he almost drowned while trying to save his daughter from drowning in Lake Michigan at Silver Beach on Sunday.
Fidel Chavez, of Chicago, was pulled out of the water after he and his 14-year-old daughter became overcome by high waves shortly before 1 p.m., according to a St. Joseph City Police Department press release. The girl told police that she was pulled out of the water by bystanders, who then helped to bring her father to shore.
After becoming unconscious while swimming, Chavez was pulled to shore with help from Nate Waller, of Portage. He was also helped by bystanders Chrystal Gerzeski, of Middlebury, Ind., and Roberta Miller, of Goshen, Ind.
Michael Gonzalez, of Delphi, Ind., performed CPR on Chavez until paramedics arrived and administered first aid. Chavez was taken to Lakeland Regional Medical Center in St. Joseph and was said to be alert and conscious, according to the release.
No lifeguards were on duty at the time, and the actions of the bystanders saved the lives of Chavez and his daughter, according to the release.
I have to say though that feeling that man's pulse come back into his body was a gift from god!
