Lake day...

Charlie and I watched Ethan on saturday and sunday, we decided to have breakfast at blueberry hill for pigs in a blanket, ethans favorite, then head off to walmart for some cat litter, water, and gatorade, yeah the basic essentials...then we decided to take off to see the lake or what is left of it....so here are some photos of the sunday morning excursion...

Wow, the water is so low!

Boys love to throw rocks!

Grandpa and ethan checking out the view!

Looked down a cliff and saw a rescue van in the water....

psyche....it is ethans hot wheel in the shore!! hahahaha!

               Too cute dressed alike wading in the water!

No news is good news...

just keeping busy working on various projects, Spring is here, which means Summer is coming up, oh I can't wait to uncover the pool! Hopefully mid May we can take the tarps off. We need a new pump and a new crawler and then we will be ready for another season in the sun!
My spring cleaning project will be to remodel my closet, it is a mess..here is the before shot:

What a mess..I am online looking for ideas..I hope to have this resolved soon! I am thinking more shelves, my sweaters should be folded not hung, and my jeans, all 50 pairs may need to be folded too, so shelves all around and bins for purses and hats...suitcases will go in the attic...hmmm, ok off to find inspiration!

Back in Black...

Last night was another tribute band concert at the Hilton, this time we got to hear some old AC/DC music, I loved it! This is what I spent my teenage hood listening to..BonJovi, AC/DC, Guns and Roses.
This band was called Bonfire and they were very good! Since we may be attending more of these concerts, here is a little background, they are put on by Jerry Greenberg, he is an American Music Executive, who at 32, was the youngest president of any major record company in the recording industry and received that title in 1974 as President of Atlantic Records.

Jerry has signed such acts as ABBA, The Blues Brothers, Foreigner, Genesis, Niles Rogers, TS Monk, Whitesnake, Roxy Music to name a few!
So now Jerry goes out and searches for cover bands, he chooses only the best of the best,  gets them to sign to the this concert series and then on wednesday night we get to go out and enjoy a little mini-concert that is almost like the real deal, that is, if they are a good enough cover band, so far Which one's pink (Pink Floyd)and Bonfire (ac/dc) have been the best!
Bonfire played last night and they rocked the house, the audience was loving it and so were we, Me, Tanya, and Erin.
It makes for a fun night out with some great music!
Since I got a little Thunderstruck last night...here's some AC/DC to get your thursday morning rocking:

My bowls!

Here are the 3 bowls I bought today... It was a fun day for chili and bowls and for helping feed the hungry!
The selection was amazing..check out http://www.beadandneedle.blogspot.com/ for more facts and photos about this interesting and charitable event!

Aeromyth?

Went back to the Hilton to see an Aerosmith cover band, called Aeromyth!

Tanya, Erin and I met up and ate dinner in the cafe, nothing to write home about, very bland coffee shop food. Then off to the bar for a glass of wine, then we took our seats, 6 rows off the stage, center! Nice, wish I had those for "Which one's pink" show, (remember John Stack!) anyway they started off a little rocky and I thought "oh this is going to be bad", but then they picked it up and by the end they were pretty convincing!

We noticed Kid Rock in the audience and after the show we sat there and let the crowds out, once we got up Kid Rock was standing 2 rows back getting his photo taken, Erin wanted hers so her and Tanya tried to get closer to him, I walked up a few more rows to wait for the groupies to clear and Kid looked right up at me, I smiled and he smiled back at me!! Whoo-hoo! What a sweetie! See sometimes running up and mobbing a celebrity is not what it takes, just hang back and give him space and he'll notice!

Cool Beans!

What a fun night out!

Thanks for making my night Kid...Here's lookng at you...

Happy St. Patty's day!

I should go play bingo today..I have green eyes! That's lucky, right?
Well, have a great day and drink a green beer for me! I am off to see an Aerosmith cover band tonight with Tanya and Erin! I will let you know how they are tomorrow!

Have a very happy green day! Here are some photoshop brushes just made for today!
