July 4th Extravaganza

Park City knows how to party on the 4th of July! In fact, we truly don't have to purchase ANY fireworks as we can watch them go off all around us.

We had family and friends over on the 4th...my sister Rhonda, my sister Marilyn, my brother Mike and his wife Diana, her sister Laurie and Laurie's son Tyler (who loves the 4th in Park City!), my BFF Melody, her daughter Diane and Diane's boyfriend Collin, our neighbors Paul & Tokeah, their kids Jansen and Alex, and our neighbors Tom and Tiffany. Found out that Tiffany is expecting twins in late December/early January. So happy for them. My brother Terry and nephew Nick stopped by for a while. We celebrated Corby's birthday, which was June 22, had fried chicken from Dillons, potato salad, macaroni salad, and tons of other goodies. The kids had a great time shooting off fireworks.




Fortunately, I took a few days off from work and don't go back until July 10th. Much needed after our late night on the 4th.

Brandon, Kaleb and I went to see The Amazing Spiderman in 3D IMAX yesterday afternoon. I LOVED IT! Not too keen on the 3D glasses, but I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.



Kaleb had to head home last night as he had to work this morning. We will go see him in Manhattan in a few weeks.

Today, I met my good friends Joyce and Michelle (from high school) at McAllister's Deli for lunch. Michelle lives in Omaha so we don't get to see her very often. We had a great visit.

Tomorrow, my BFF Melody and I are going to get pedicures and manicures. Will be nice to spend one on one time with her!

Fun times with Lenore

While Lenore and Daniel were here, she had a library book panel at the Johnson County Library in Overland Park. So, on Tuesday afternoon, November 27th, Lenore, her friend Rachelle and I took off for KC. We had a great time visiting on the way up and back, and I didn't get tired at all driving! We stopped for a quick bite to eat at Arby's and filled up with gas at QT before heading to the library. It was an interesting panel featuring Bethany Hagen, author of Landry Park, which comes out next year; Gennifer Albin, author of Crewel, which was released a few months ago; and Lenore, whose book will be released on January 15. Here's the panel: Me & Lenore: Lenore & Rachelle: Gennifer, Bethany and Lenore

K-STATE WINS!

K-STATE beat KU! AWESOME! It was a tense game. Corby is a huge KU fan, and even having a son at K-State hasn't changed that. I am happy when any Kansas team does well; but I had to root for K-State tonight. If the Jayhawks had to lose, I'm glad it was to K-State. Michael Beasley is a great player, and my only concern is that he will leave after his freshman year and go pro. WAY TO GO CATS!
