License to drive

Poor Janet. She called to tell me someone drove through her garage. If you know Janet, she is quite the storyteller and sometimes you have to factor in a little room for embellishment. There is no embellishing on this one. The lady drove through the garage door and somehow made a right hand turn out of the side of the garage. Janet's place is still for sale and will now come with a new garage. She is also open to the idea of renting it out. Her email is f1080@aol.com if you or someone you know is interested. It is Dublin, 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 baths, finished basement and a screened in porch.

Another Happy Birthday message

This one goes out to 50 Cent. Happy 31st birthday.

Spent the evening with Matt Damon and George Clooney

OK, that might be an exaggeration. I really spent the evening with Brian but we did go see Oceans 13 with Matt Damon in it. If you haven't seen it you should. It's a good movie.

Happy 4th of July

The UA Golden Bear

Caroline and Lucy

And a special parade appearance by our neighbors Jack and Marty.

Happy Birthday Athanasia!

Today is my friend (and neighbor) Athanasia's birthday. We had a fun party. Here is a picture Caroline took of some of the neighbor kids that came. Just for the record, Athanasia is the only person I know who does not use the internet. We are friends anyway...

ANOTHER new roof...

This one is on the playhouse. Can't wait!

P.S. The chair in the playhouse is now on the UA parade route. We have two chairs in place so we can have rock star seating at the parade. One for me, one for Caroline. Since Brian thinks it is tacky he can stand! (Or stay home, which is what will most likely happen!)

UA Tradition

So every year there is a 4th of July parade that runs down Northwest Blvd. And every year people start lining chairs up and down the parade route. This starts about a week in advance. No joke. And it doesn't matter if it is your yard, people put their chairs in it. Sometimes they even rope off their area. In front of your house. And they don't even have to be lawn chairs. Any chair will do. Again, no joke. And if you don't get your chairs out early you don't get a seat along the parade route. And if you put your chair there, it stays there. No one messes with it. It's kind of like the honor system. As of this evening most of the good spots were gone. Brian thinks it's tacky to do but my neighbor Marty has taken chairs with me the last two years. You really pull your car up in broad daylight and set your chairs up in front of someone's house. We saw chairs as early as last Thursday. Next year I'm putting mine up Memorial Day to beat the crowd.
