Sarasota 2012

Well, It looks like I'm heading down to Sarasota again for a week of golf,drinking and God knows what else.I was able to get a direct flight out of GR straight to Tampa, But I'm heading to Baltimore on the way back.

New Business

 

We recently had a New Business open near our neighborhood. It's called Mattress World. The funny thing is I was thinkin we could use a new mattress. How wonderful to to have a place like this so close by. But what makes it even more special is they offer a drive thru window.Click on the picture to see it better. Makes mattress shopping a breeze.........

Christmas 2011

Well, once again we hit the bowling alley on Christmas Day... and once again I was shocked that I can average 200 with no practice bowling once a year. Rob came in second with a respectable 175/180 average and Kellie did well with all 3 games in the triple digits..... MJ, well she did get up to 102 the last game.

New Years 2011

What am I going to do.. Our usual group decided to end their string of New Years Eve parties in Rockford. MJ has booked a flight out west for the holidays, leaving Kellie and I home on New Years Eve with nothing to do. I guess we'll go out on the deck at midnight and bang pans...Oh wait, Kellie goes to bed around 9:00. Is Dick Clark still alive ?

Vegas Baby !!!!!!!

Here is a photo from my seat at the airport terminal. My friend Mike decided to renew his wedding vows in Vegas for his 25th anniversary. Being his best man twice he invited me and his forty closest friends to help him celebrate this occasion. The wedding renewal took place at the Little White Wedding Chapel with a Elvis impersonator giving away the bride and throwing in a few songs as well. Dinner at the suite in the Bellagio was excellent. I also won 400.00 at the blackjack tables, pretty much paying for the trip.. Not too Shabby..

Kedzie

The boys in Chicago now have a dog. Her name is Kedzie, she's a burnese mountain dog, or something like that. Rob brought her to spend the weekend with us. She's really got a lot of energy and really wore us out she loves attention.

1962 Corvette

Here is a shot of the neighbors vintage corvette. As usual he has backed it in. In fact all his cars and truck are always backed in I'm not sure why he does this.... Maybe he can get out faster in case of an emergency. I'm just not sure. Someday i'll have to ask him.
