Here's to hoping I have mastered the multi quotes thing! Wow, today was just the most beautiful summer day weatherwise. Its 80 degrees with a cool breeze blowin, and no bugs
I'm heading out for a walk when I'm done talking to ya'll. Trying to lose a few pounds.
Today was our 24th wedding anniversary so we went to the Keg. Do you guys have the Keg?
Congratulations damo! Thats no small feat. We're heading toward our 20th. 2nd time around for both of us.
tonight i am seeing Potter (sharon, ever been to the westbrook 16 cinemas?)
Nope, have not been there yet. The kids and their went there last night and saw Potter. They really liked it. The first night that it opened at the theater I was heading to the airport to pick up my Mom around 10:30 and couldnt believe the amount of cars in and around the parking lot. They were parked on the street way back to the intersection of Spring St and just as far in the other direction. There really isn't room on the street for cars to park. It's a wonder no-one got hurt seeing as it was dark, foggy and not very well lit.
Hope you enjoy the movie. Have some popcorn for me!
Meanwhile, our laptop has opted not to work any longer. Well, it works, but won't do wifi anymore and none of the USB cords can connect to it anymore. So it's effectively useless since it can't print to the regular printer or do internet. DH has decided it's not worth fixing (we've tried about 5 times over the past few years - it has serious problems), so he bought a new Apple notebook while he was in Minneapolis this weekend. Which means that rather than helping me pack for Disney (10 day!), he's going to spend the next week playing with his new toy! Sigh!
Don't get me started on men and their toys.
Hubby just bought himself one of those new Blu Ray DVD players. If you ask me, the movie does'nt look any different than on the old DVD player
Both my kids are away at University next year, so we should be able to do as we please!
I have one in college, she's on the 6 year plan for a 4 year degree I think. She's annoying me to no end. How can you take 4 classes and drop one, and get 2 D's and a C. Now she has to take the classes with the D's over again.
My son has one more year of high school. We are spending most of this summer visiting colleges. Its been fun!
Friend of my son's (he's 18) just rolled his car yesterday and broke his leg. These teenage drivers are scary. He said he fell asleep at the wheel. How they can stay up until 4 in the morning but fall asleep taking their girlfriend home 5 minutes away, is beyond me. It's no wonder insurance for young males is so expensive.[/QUOTE]
My son has had his license now for 2 months. It doesn't get much easier with the 2nd one. And the cost of his insurance, YIKES!
in Illinois the driving laws changed last year. we have the graduating driving laws for teens. have to have many hours of supervised behind the wheel with a licensed driver with you. for the first 6 months, no night driving. no more than one other person in the car until age 17 except for a family member. each year up thru 19 has different rules.
We have something similar here in Maine. It's been great to know that he can't have any of his friends in the truck with him for 6 months.
In fact, my brother called us the
"Wharf people" just means that we spend an inordinate amount of time at the Arundel Wharf, sitting outside and watching the boats, having lunch, (and, ummm, drinking beers too, I guess). Their website really doesn't do it much justice: http://arundelwharf.com/home.html
I was wondering if anyone was going to ask what a wharf person was!!!
I havn't been there yet, but we have similar restaurante here in Portland. In fact, my sister lives on a island off the coast, and the only way to visit her is to take the ferry. It's a nice ride in the summer, not so much in the winter!
Okay, the last few pics I'll subject you guys to! Some camp ones of DS and his friend. They were best friends in 2nd through 5th grade, then we moved last summer so haven't been together for a year. So met at camp for a couple weeks to regroup and have fun (they're from near Detroit, we're now from Green Bay!).
Is this a music camp?? What does he play?
Time to head out for that walk before it gets dark or I get lazy. I'll be back later
forgot to
janet on her 8000!!!!
. course i haven't even gotten the bill for last one.
) or Kings Dominion...still not sure which one to pick. I'm leaning towards the cheapest GL lol, haven't been to any of the others yet.
and it's a 6 hour drive too...could just as easily hit Ocean City, MD.
, hobnobbing with royalty
In fact, my brother called us the other day and left a message: "You're not home so you're either working, in Maine, in Orlando, or on a cruise." He's pretty much right.
