We got back from NY a day early, so we got to have some fun for 4th of July. We went over to Jim & Cathy’s for dinner, and Sensei Steve and his family joined us. After dinner we headed over to the dojo to meet up with many more people to set off TONS of fireworks. We had a great time, there were some great fireworks, and no one got injured. Toward the end of the night, we got a little crazy and started putting fireworks into the sewer drains. Check out this video that I posted on You Tube to see what happens when you put a small mortar down into the drain…hehe
Also got some pictures, check them out here.

Last night, Paul and I went out with Ruth, Ed, Matthew and Amberly and a few of Amberly’s friends to Riverbend to see the Allman Brothers Band. The music was great, weather was perfect, and the company was superb ;-). Unfortunatly, we had to leave a bit early because Paul had a motorcycle safety class at 7:30am, but it was great fun while it lasted! We sat in the lawn seats, so we got to spread out, mingle, and dance; much better than sitting close and having to be hush-hush so you don’t mess the show up for anyone else!

Congratulations to Jodie, Kurt, and Sydney for the addition to their new family! Samantha was born last night at 11:30pm and was 20 inches long (I can’t remember what Kurt said the weight was…)
Welcome to the world Samantha!

Had a really fun weekend…my best friend Mary came here from Illinois to visit for the weekend. We finally got to spend some time together; she was here for Paul’s 30th Bday party in December, but the weekend was so hectic that we really didn’t get much time together. We pretty much hung out and relaxed all weekend. She has been traveling a lot for work and Paul and I have been really busy with the house, so it was nice to sit around and just relax.
On Friday we went to Buffalo Bob’s family restaurant in Florence. It was pretty good; I had the pulled pork which was good, and all other stuff looked yummy.
On Saturday we went to The Funny Bone Comedy Club in Newport. We saw Caroline Rhea from Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Biggest Loser. She was great! We learned that you have to come with 4 people though. The seating is really strange. The tables are all 4-tops, and if you have 2 or 3 people, you get stuck with strangers. It was weird…we had a group of 5 next to us and one of them had to sit with the table next to them. Several couples went out for what appeared to be a nice night out, and got stuck sitting at the itty bitty 4-top tables with another couple. Weird. But…the show was great and it was a no-smoking showtime, so it was even better.
Overall, a really nice relaxing weekend. Hope you had fun Mary!
