WWE Supershow

Cena

We went to the BJC today to see wrestling again. We had a good time, played musical chairs and got some good pictures of some of the guys. We still have to catch a televised show sometime to see what it is like with the lights and all, but this was fun even without all the extras.

PICTURES, as always :-) And believe it or not, this is only half of them.

Happy Birthday Crabby!!!

We had a Surprise Sweet 16 party for my Aunt Crabby today. It was a lot of fun. Lots of food, and family. Crabby said she had a really nice time, and that was the whole point, for all of us to get together to have fun with her. We even got to spend some time with our Aunt Maryann and cousins Brent and Brian from Ohio. I am glad you guys were able to make it!! It was so nice seeing you guys. We really need to get together more often!

Crabby

And YES!!! PICTURES!!!

There are a handful, or so, of days that I can say I know exactly where I was when this or that happened. One of those days was October 21, 1993. I was working at the Barnesboro Star. That particular day, I had been caught up with my own work and had been working downstairs helping some of the girls in the bindery department with a job they had to get out. The phone rang, and that was when I learned that my Aunt Evelyn (aka Crabby) was on her way to Pittsburgh. They had found her a heart. 16 years ago, she had a heart transplant. And 16 years later, we were able to get together to celebrate. :-) I already let them know that when she turns 21, we are doing it again. She wanted to know if she was allowed to drink then. Sure, who am I to turn her down?

The Great Train Adventure

Horse
An area community website sent an email earlier in the week for some activities for this weekend. One of them was for a train ride for today. I thought a train ride sounded nice, with the leaves changing I thought it would be fun. So, I started trying to find a bit more information on it. We got tickets on Thursday evening, and even the people that were selling them didn't have a lot of information. Basically, it was dinner theatre on a train, and without dinner. LOL.

A couple were to be married on the train, but the bride didn't want any part of it, so she made plans with an outlaw gang to kidnap her from the train. It was alright, but we'd have probably gotten a more enjoyable day just putting gas in the car and wandering around checking out the foliage. The route the train took was perhaps 4 miles one way and mostly in the woods, and except for the little intro to the plot of the story before getting on the train, it was a bit hard to keep track of what was going on. The actors went from car to car through the train. And once the horses showed up, we really never saw or heard anything on the trip back. Seemed like an interesting enough idea. I think it just needed a bit more planning from a spectator's perspective.

Oh, yeah, there are PICTURES :-)
