NICKELBACK ROCKED 3

And finally - the one I mentioned in the first entry - the Kings of Leon song -

NICKELBACK ROCKED 2

Okay - so here they are doing one of my most favoritest songs -

NICKELBACK ROCKED

OMG - If you like Nickelback, you MUST go and see them in concert.

Will be posting videos now - pics from the trip later -

Just to warn you - you, of course, are not allowed to take NICE equipment in, so my big camera stayed at the hotel room with Monkey. The videos here were shot with my FLIP video camera, and the bass freaking knocked it out - but they are pretty good.

I loved the concert, but I think my favorite part of the whole thing was when Nickelback came out and did the Kings of Leon song "Need Somebody" as part of their encore.

ENJOY!

Little YELLOW houses for you and me . . .

The time has finally come my friends. Work has begun. Right now, even as I type this, half of my house is primed yellow, LOL, and half is still green. It's a little bright, but the PAINT will tone it down.

Pictures after the trip - yes, that's right - I'm such a tease.

And just so you know - the neighbors on the corner that like to cut down trees had theirs painted yellow at the same time - of course they can afford a real crew, so theirs is already done.

Okay - that's enough for one night - geezus - the pressure to keep putting stuff out here -

Easter

Well, Mama cooked and Mary's family came up for the afternoon. Thank GOD it was nice outside. We ate, hid eggs, and got to watch the boys try to beat Honey and Precious to the eggs. LOL

Here are some of the better pictures from the day.

Mary and Neil

Daddy (remember - pronounced Dead-ee)

Riley and Colin - PRE-hunt

Riley(what I love about this picture is that he is in a tire swing that came from my Grandmama's house - one that Mary and I actually had there when we were little.)

Hunter - the only one so far to even show interest in climbing trees. Made Mary so proud!

And the littlest one Colin -

Shots of the WYSTERIA by the back porch - bigger and bigger every year.

Trip South Part Two

Much love to Sally for bitching at me about posting the second part of my trip.

[Would like to preface this entry with the statement that not all of my trip revolves around eating - lol - but when I go south - there are specific places I wanna go - so they are mentioned here.]

Went to Beaufort on Wednesday, just because I could. I love South Carolina - the way everything looks and feels, just a totally different place. You wouldn't think there would be that much of a difference, but there is.

I love Beaufort, just cause it's still small town. BUT they're building a four lane to it, and that will totally mess it up. I've decided that not all roads need to be four lanes. Leave us some two lane roads, please.

The best part about the trip to Beaufort is always the getting lost on the way back and discovering a new place. This time, instead of finding the Forrest Gump fence, I found a really cool historical marker at the remnants of a church. It's surrounded by oak trees with moss, of course, and is on a back road between Beaufort and Yemassee, and it was gorgeous.

Along with the trip to Beaufort on Wednesday, I had dinner with Rob at - of course - the Mustard Seed - my favorite restaurant in the Charleston area.

Thursday I was sooo ready to get home I called Todd and told him I'd meet him for lunch and then drive home.

Monkey loved going with me so much that he has requested to travel with me on this next trip to Atlanta - so people - be prepared for more monkey pics. Brent is calling this the "Summer of the Monkey," and you don't know how funny I think that is.

A new business I'm thinking of starting . . .

Funny thing is - if you know me - you know I've got plenty to spare - LOL

Lisa's Trip South

SPRING BREAK - I decided to tour the state of South Carolina with stops in Myrtle Beach, Mt. Pleasant, Beaufort, Daniel's Island, and Charleston (oh and in NC - Wilmington). I am alone - no wait - I am not alone -

I am traveling with . . . . . . .

MONKEY - bwahahahahaaa

He's a great traveling companion - goes where I want to go - doesn't mind me singing to him the whole time - and is always a blast -

Here are some pics of our trip so far -

Dinner at Mama Fu's


Downtown Charleston
Monkey and my newest additions to the ride - the WOLVERINES - HOTness!!

Monkey wanted to eat McDonald's for lunch, but I made him go to East Bay Deli with me -yummy - He loved the trees in the park at the Battery -

Colin's Spring Debut

Well, finally, the youngest nephew has reached the age where we will be able to go and see him in school productions. Colin is 4 - will be 5 in July, and his Pre-K class (along with others) had a spring program on Tuesday.



Colin did very well. He danced, he sang some, and he behaved. What more could you ask for from a four-year-old?


Here are a couple of pictures from his debut. What is sadly most remarkable about the production is not my nephew, but the young man on the front row who during the first song dropped his gum OUT OF HIS MOUTH and PICKED IT BACK UP and POPPED IT BACK IN HIS MOUTH. From that moment on, I was much more interested in seeing what he would do next. I have much better pictures of him than I do of Colin, and I plan to include one here.



Will add a link to the video after I have uploaded it.

Enjoy!
