Jam Session!

For the last 5 years Brad and/or the girls and I have particpated in the St Paddy's Day Parade in Norfolk. We are in the parade again this year. Much practicing has been going on. Last night we ahd practice at our church with the Chaplain( for the proestant congregation)to the left on guitar  and his son on drums( in the back). Chaplain joined us last year and we all had a GREAT time. It was MY first year too.

Here's Britt looking bored while Dad and Chaps jam wtih some 'oldies"

Here's another pic of our kitty Amby. She's such a cutie...but SUCH a troublemaker. If there's trouble to be had.... she'll find it!!Brandon came over yesterday to practice guitar and to download and print out some new songs..( he's tired of playing the same 2 songs all the time..LOL..I guess it turns out he doesn't have a printer of his own)...anyway.. it's nice to see him again.....as you can see this is pic #6 ( i think) of the yellow billibong..I think I've seen him MORE in the last 2 months then I have in the LAST year all combined..LOL.it's really nice to ahve him around more...I've missed him!.

Added New Links

I 've added a couple of new links to my Links field.I finally added Sara from -Crochet All Day-Like I said I would. I'm slowly getting the hang of things...but it's still all confusing and I can't remember from one moment to the next exactly HOW i'm doing things.LOL...I just 'try " things, then check it out in "preview", and if it looks good there...then I figure I'm good to go..LOL

I also added a link to My Paper Crane. This girl does some REALLY cute stuff...she spins some of the kewlest yarn. And does all kinds of REALLY kewl crafts. She's VERY Talented...and...

Puerto Rico or Bust!

I can't believe it's only 3 count them 3 days till we leave for Puerto Rico!! Our friends are leaving the day before us and will be ther a day before us. We are driving to NY to catch the flight. It was cheaper to drvie up to NYC and fly out from JFK then to fly out from here in VA. We are meeting my friend Ns family and will be dropping our car off at their house. Then they want to 'feed' us and give us a chance to 'rest " before taking su to the Air Port! They are so sweet!
