70s Party Pictures

I hope this slideshow works so you can view what an awesome time we had at the 70's Party last night, boy did we have a great time. My legs are kiLLing me this morning and my feet too --dancing in those platform type shoes from the 70's definitely gives someone a workout, we danced from 9pm thru 1:00a.m. until we finally tired out and came home. What some great pictures.

Enjoy.......

FaLL SoftbaLL

We are starting games for FaLL SoftbaLL, its getting to be cooLer weather now and I can tell fall ball is ready to start, we have double headers each time we play, which makes for a long long day.

We have 2 games today starting at 2:00 ---it'll be almost 6:00 til we get home, it'll be a long afternoon but the weather looks nice, in the high 70's and not hot at all. I'm looking forward to sitting in the sun today watching TayLor play 2 games. Good Luck!

the 70s Party

Well this week we are preparing for a 70s party this Saturday at our local hangout, I cannot wait, its going to be so much fun.

Steve is dressing like a 70'S HIPPIE, and I'm going to go DISCO 70'S..........HOW FUN!

He already has his costume and wig, I just have to prepare mine, I have an idea just gotta get out and get the rest of the accessories which is all I need.
I cannot wait to take pics, it'll be so much FUN!

Summer Like Weather

Wow! what a wierd 2 days we are experiencing, its like summer. Humid and hot. Although its only 84 degrees today, its hot! Guess we're getting a taste of summer-like weather. Which is nice but tomorrow 86 and humid. And it figures a day we are having a few friends over for some drinks and entertainment. Never fails, its always hot when we plan something outside.

By Sunday its suppose to be in the low 80's and more like fall weather. I'm anxious to get the decor out for fall, pumpkins/scarecrows and more. Before we know it, Halloween will be here.

Craig's List

I didn't know what to blog about except its been a cooL weekend and a cooL past few days, which I totally am enjoying after the hot weather we had the past week!

Craigs List is awesome......I've been listing alot of items for sale on Craig's List and sold 2 items so far in 1 day. wow! Maybe its better than ebay, although probably not.
www.craigslist.com is the website, check it out!

You can list by your STATE & CITY, and everyone who contacts you is mostly local. They can come pick the stuff up, no shipping unless they choose to ship and its free! I think I'm going to be listing alot more stuff on there to sell.......check it out!

In Memory of 9-11

Just wanted to make sure everyone knows I didn't forget 9-11..........I can remember 6 years ago sitting in my living room while Taylor was outside waiting for the bus to arrive, Steve was standing on the front porch (thinking he was laid off work, which is not surprising) anyways, and the TODAY SHOW was interrupted with this horrifying incident. The Twin Towers were hit by a plane, Steve and I were in shock for the next many many hours just watching the TODAY SHOW and broadcast news as everyone in this nation was all day and the rest of the week.............

In Memory of all 9-11 victims.........you are not forgotten!

the View

Every morning I normally watch the view, although lately I haven't been too tuned in due to Rosie leaving, I just love her, I think she is very well spoken and just tells you how it is, and that's me too.

Yesterday they announced that Sherri Shepherd is going to be the new co-host and I'm so happy. I just like her. She's very spirited and very funny! Plus, being a Plus size gal myself I can relate to her in a lot of ways. I look forward to watching more of the VIEW this fall/winter or at least hearing it, as I normally have the TV on while I'm doing computer/work in the next room........I usually take a break here and there and sit for a little bit to catch up on the faces on TV instead of just listening.........

Rachael Ray is another show I'm so excited for new episodes now. She has moved in our area from 10:00a.m. to 2pm now and I'm not used to that, kind of threw me off yesterday when I was wanting to sit for breakfast and watch her at 10:00 and she wasn't there, now I watch her at snack time at 2pm (laugh)

Sherri Shepherd has her own website, you can see her here www.sherrishepherd.com and see who she is! Love her!!!!

Horseshoe Tournament Today

Today is our annual 3rd year HORSESHOE TOURNAMENT, it is so stinkin' HOT outside its unreal.....I'm taking a break from setting up. We have do some yard work yet and we're ready. I'm trying to stay inside as much as possible until 4:00 --hoping by then the shade takes over our yard and it starts to decline in temp's......right now its about 82 or more degrees but humid. Its suppose to reach the high 80's today about 86 they say...........please don't hit 90! fingers cross XXXX. We'll take many photos to share.

a Busy Weekend

I'm just blogging real quick today cause we have a busy 2 days ahead of us, we are having our 3rd annual horseshoe tournament and BBQ this weekend. What a way to end the summer. But did I mention its to be 90 degrees today and tomorrow and that dreaded word I hate HUMID!!!! YIKES!!!

I don't look forward to the heat but today I have some cookin' to do and last minute errands, picking up tables, getting last minute items and a few things here and there.

We plan to have a pretty good crowd this year and hope the heat doesn't keep everyone away! Have a great weekend!

Labor Day Weekend

well, its Labor Day Weekend, nothing special going on. Its been a long week, Steve didn't work at all this week, but plans to have a full week coming up ---- things are tough right now. I was job searching but nothing is appeaLing to me. Even if its part-time.

Taylor is back to school, and so far so good. (I think) She loves her Spanish class. I forsee her starting to talk Spanish and wanting help with that. I took 3 yrs in high school but could not and probably would not talk Spanish to this day. The basics is all I remember.

Labor Day is tomorrow, no special plans. I can remember having a picnic every Labor day when we were younger but seems like we don't do that anymore. Every one is just so busy I guess. We'll probably just make something on the grill tomorrow and call that our Labor day celebration.
We have alot to plan and get ready this week for our Picnic/Horseshoe Tournament on Saturday the 8th.....we have probably 50+ people coming. We have food to make, drinks to buy and preparation in the backyard as far as lawn mowing, weeding and cleanup --- geez! this week will go so fast.

Have a great LABOR DAY EVERYONE!!!

LebFest

Here are some photos from a friends party (read below):


Lots and lots of drinks, what a great time!

Steve and Blake (above) are having a toast to good friends........as the night starts to end.

I don't think I ever shared some photos from our friends Brad & Jess's summer party. They call it LEBFEST always held the 3rd Saturday of July each year....with a band(s), tons of food, drinks and people. Gosh, there is almost 150-200 people throughout the day.



Here are some funs photos to view, this year it was on Sat. July 21st. We had a good time and the weather (for once) was nice, usually its so stinkin' hot, but this year I even wore jeans to the party. What a great time!







What a great time above by the pool, the kids early in the day loved to swim!
Brad, above, is having a good time drinking that bottle............oops! sorry Brad had to show what a good time you had!

Its ~HOT!~ again

Boy, we had such great cooL weather all week long & now the AC's are back on and its piping hot......humid too which makes it worse.

We are having our annual REDSKINS picnic tomorrow, outside of course and it couldn't be like 70-80 degrees tomorrow, nope! they are calling for 90's and a heat index of 100 degrees....and humid! the word Humid I dread. That just hurts me bad. I can stand the 90 degrees with no humidity but when they say HUMID, I dread it. I really really dread going to this picnic tomorrow but I guess if it gets too bad there is always indoors with AC there too, but I hate to hang inside all day. We will see, maybe it won't be too bad. I know they have lots and lots of trees and shade at the members house who is sponsoring the picnic, & 2 large tents on the deck with overhead shade.......I bought lots and lots of drinks & water for tomorrow..........

By Sunday its suppose to be cooL again and back to the 80's w/ no humidity, of course --the picnic will be over by then. I'm not ready for cold weather just yet but this 90-100 degree crap can go! Was hoping for one last dip in the pooL but not sure if we don't get there tomorrow, it may not happen........Yikes!

What a week

What a week, its been raining all week long and nothing to do, I've been trying to keep up on orders and run some sales since the rain is keeping me inside. It started Sunday with some fairly good steady rain, and hasn't stopped...........I think today it may try to clear up.

We are able to turn the AC's off and enjoy some window opening time, and I do believe it hasn't been above 75 degrees all week, which I love. I did see some temp's for Saturday of 94........yikes! the warm weather is coming back. Swimming hasn't been in the agenda lately and the water temp's are probably cooL now. Hopefully we can get 1 last swim of the summer in this weekend or next week yet.

Its now only 66 degrees out today and very very cloudy. But at Least no rain. Although they say we are still in need of more rain, I'm tire of it. Yesterday we had some pretty heavy rains at times and into last night. Now everything is wet and needs dried out. By tomorrow we may see some sun.

I'm trying to search for a part-time job now, things are getting tough with Steve laid off (yes in middle of summer and he works lawn care/landscaping) not sure why but thank goodness for unemployment. I'd really like to get a part-time job even if its working in a retail store part-time.....I applied a few places so we shall see. I'm still running my website but no more eBay. I'm feeling so much relief not doing ebay no more, the money is nice but the fees are simply hurting my biz. So, my website for now. I'm going to try a new idea! wholesaling my title cuts.........so that's my new adventure in life. Wish me luck!

Taylors Birthday Party

Ok, here are some pics from last nights birthday event.

We went to our local city's baseball game "Revolutions" for her b-day party. we had 6 girls and 4 adults go along and had a blast. It was alot of fun, entertainment all the time, and the girLs had a great time. Here are some pics:

Above they put her name on the board as soon as you walKed in the stadium.

of course 12 year oldd must find some use for the birthday hats, since they are TOO OLD to wear them!

All the girls wore red, first of all so we could keep track of 'em in the huge crowd, but they looked great all color coordinated. And they matched the REVOLUTIONS TOO!

TAYLOR'S ready for her 1st pitch of the game, a birthday gift for being the birthday girl of the night!

And of course, she had to get a picture with the mascot, "Downtown" which was her name, isn't she cute? and colorful too!

Happy Birthday TAYLOR

Happy birthday Taylor Taylor!!!!

Today is Taylor's 12th Birthday on August 17th. 12 years ago she was born, very small and only weighing 4lbs 13oz. Wow! hard to believe she is now 12 and going in to the 7th grade.......how fast they grow.

We plan to go to a REVOLUTIONS York City Ballgame tonight with 6 of her friends and 4 adults. 10 of us will be going to the REvolutions game as her b-day gift. We will have fun and plan to take lots of pics to share.

Happy B-day Taylor, have a great day!

Party by the Lake

Below are the girls from the 80's party............

We went to a party last weekend at a friends house who lives by Lake Meade here in Pa....we had a blast it was an 80's party............everyone was trying to dress from the 80's, mostly the girls and of course Steve below looking like MULLET MAN. how funny!

its mid-August?

Oh no, I haven't blogged yet in August.....whoa! I am so far behind. Guess its been a busy month and I have so many photos to post but blogger won't let me add any photos tonight, I'm going to try one more time and see what happens............

Nope, no luck, try again tomorrow.

New Look for the PooL

Here are some photos of the new liner put in mom & dad's pooL last week, the water temp is freezing, but hopefully by this weekend it'll be back to normal temps.....we froze on Saturday while taking a plunge. Taylor and Katie had fun but were crazy for getting in the cold water.
The Liner gave the pooL a brand new look.


Taylor looks so goofy with those goggles on but she loves 'em!

Katie was making so many waves we almost lost Taylor in the pooL.

Above is the pool with the new liner, you can't tell from the photo but it looks great! the Liner is much darker (of course) and is a navy blue type border on the edge. Looks good huh?

World's Largest Hot Air Balloon

Just wanting to share some photos that I don't believe I posted yet, the WORLD'S LARGEST HOT AIR BALLOON. This hot air balloon was at Rudy Park the other week when we went to see our favorite band play, its to be the largest in the world. The Energizer Bunny --- it took 20 people to fold and pack this baby up! wow!
