What Megan and I find to do when we're bored at 10:00pm on a summer night! 

Crime Scene! 

Mangled bodies...ewww! 

Hit and Run! 

Friends Forever

So tonight I went out with 2 of my good friends (one of whom is moving to Iowa! Ahhhh!). We had the time of our lives! I missed having the white chocolate mousse from the Redwood Room however. I can't believe they discontinued it! Boy! Did I let them know what a mistake that was! We tried 2 of their other desserts and they totally sucked! And that's being nice! The pizza was Yummy however! I wish we could do more of that and we promised to stay in touch and do something together again. I believe we will keep that promise because we all agreed that we are like sisters as if we were truly blood relatives. Sooo many memories and sooo many shared trials and tribulations. Isn't that what family is all about? Being there for each other and communicating our hopes, desires, dreams, frustrations, etc. Yeah...I think so. My only wish was that I had brought my camera so I could have taken a snapshot. I'm so bad at remembering to do that. Rick always takes the pictures at our house and I always forget to bring it along. Silly me!
On another note...Jamey...your blog is really random this time. Kinda funny and entertaining to say the least. Are these your thoughts or were they stolen from someone else? Hmmm? Megan...We will have to schedule a day to just hang out. It never seems to work out when we both have days off. I don't know what's up with that but we'll figure something out soon OK? I love you both with all my heart!
I hope that people will comment on my blog this time. For whatever reason they haven't shared their voices with me. Disappointing. I love to read your comments! So comment away folks. Keep it interesting. Try to stay cool...it's about time I have to say that! Yeah for summer!!!!!!!

Our Hotel located on 44th St. and 5th Ave. Just 2 blocks from Times Square! We could walk everywhere! 

The Today Show! Schmoozing with the stars! 

Strawberry Field in Central Park dedicated to the memory of John Lennon (his home is across the street). 

Beautiful castle in Central Park. You can climb to the top! 

and Liberty for all! 

A Carriage ride through Central Park after dinner at Tavern On the Green. We were dressed for the show "Spamalot". What a wonderful evening! 

One view from the Empire State Building. Truly Amazing! 

New York! New Yoooork!

So long city of endless entertainment! We loved you! Thank you for being such a great host to us! We felt overwhelmingly welcome. What a beautiful country we live in! Go...See...Participate...in Life! Have no regrets. There is a whole world to experience. Just do it!

A Day or two in the life....

Time goes by sooo quickly! I don't know how this happens. Can someone explain it to me? I can't wait for a certain day to get here and then when it does, I wonder where the time went? My nephew graduated from High School and I wonder what life has in store for him. My son got back from a trip to Italy and I wonder what life has in store for him now too. It's soooo strange to sit back and watch these changes occurring. I've always been the one in the midst of change and too busy to notice everything I guess. Now that life has slowed down a bit for me it's kinda neat to sit back and watch. Sometimes it's hard not to interfere too. Especially for me because I only want the best for people and when they are struggling it's soooo hard not to get involved. Rick and I will leave for New York on Thursday and see the sights. I am definitely going to see where the Twin Towers were (Ground Zero). It will be a very humbling and emotional experience. We plan to have dinner at Tavern on the Green and see the play "Spamalot" on Friday. Rick is soooo excited! It's a spoof based on "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", his favorite movie. Megan will be home to watch the kids (cats). My mom and dad are coming from Arizona to stay with us soon so I have to get ready for them also. They will need to have all the comforts of home and I plan to provide it. I'm sorry I'm rambling but there are so many things going on...a few I'm saving to share with you later. Betcha can't wait huh? yeah...whatever Cindy.

Will the rain ever end?

So....we've had rain every day for the past month I think. Will it ever end? Our yard is a bog that squishes water when you walk! Unbelievably the weatherman has predicted more rain all week!! And if you do step outside to enjoy any sunshine there is you are quickly carried away by all the gnats and mosquitos!! Why do I live here you ask? Good question. I think I'm going to plan a tour of the country and find a better place to live...hmmmm....was that the ocean I heard calling me?? Jamey is in Italy right now. He had a little trouble hooking up with Allana (his friend) but finally found her in Florence. I hope they enjoy the sights. Wish I was there. Megan got back from Chicago just fine and is now busy working, working, working, and making lotsa money for London. Rick and I will head off to the "Big Apple" next Thursday through Monday. I'll try to post before I leave. Try to stay warm and dry everyone. Summer's got to be right around the corner...don't ya think?
