Musings on....G Love and Special Sauce

G Love

Tomorrow night I'm going to see G Love and Special Sauce!  I love these concerts!  Always so much fun, and a great performance!  I'm going to try to take some pictures!

Check out this video!  One of my favorites!

Musings on...nothing in particular

Another day that I'm not sure what I want to write about.
I think I will just ramble on about last weekend.

Last weekend was busy!  My daughter played in the pep band at the football game.  I had not been to a high school football game,...well.... since high school!  The game was not that exciting (they lost), the band sounded great, and the high light of the evening was the streaker that ran across the field!  The funny thing was that both my girls missed it!  They were talking.  He ran out, turned to the crowd, had a friend run interference, hopped two chain link fences and got away in the waiting getaway car...apparently driven by his father!  Pretty funny.

The next day, youngest daughter had a soccer game.  We unfortunately lost.  I still thought that the girls played great!   The keep on getting better and better.

That night my eldest daughter got dressed up for the Homecoming Dance.  She went with a group of friends.  They looked so pretty!  I was really hoping that she would have a great time.  She called at 10:30, ready to go home.  I guess dancing is a little different then when I went to school.  We just bounced around and had a great time.  Apparently it is all about the bumping, grinding and freaking.  I'm sure my daughter was shocked.  After all, the last dancing she did was at the wedding in BC.  We all danced together and had so much fun!  Maybe it will be different at the next dance.

Sunday, we had a horse show to go to.  My daughter was taking her Level 1 and 2 training test in Dressage.   She placed 2nd in both events.  Yea!  She was so pleased with herself.

Nice tongue

Good work Jaffa

We were all pretty tired that night!

I have some interesting mushrooms growing in the front yard.  I'm interested in TTV photography, but don't have an old camera.  I decided to fake it in Photoshop.  Cheating...I know.  Still..... the effect is pretty cool.

Musings on.....a dance off

Golden, BC

Recently we came back from a wedding/family reunion in Golden, British Columbia.
What a wonderful time we had.  Definitely too short for all of us, but a most quality experience!

I had not seen my parents and brother and sister for an entire year!  Aunts and uncles and cousins had been even longer!  We were all excited to see one another!

Harvesting

We packed up the car and started our drive on Monday.  Along the way we passed through some incredible wheat fields in eastern Washington.  It was around 7:30 at night and so interesting to see the trucks coming from everywhere, filled with wheat for the grain elevators.  I of course made my my husband stop, so I could get some pictures.

Running through the fields

We arrived at my Uncle Red's cabin in Panorama.  There, we were able to spend some time with my parents and my brother.  We had a  swim and canoe in Lake Lillian.  My Dad pulled toes...a bit of a tradition!  We played competitive  Scrabble, and my uncle showed off his cool Kilt Coozie from Scotland!

Home Lodge, Golden, BC

Then it was off to Golden.  Home Lodge was wonderful place to stay.  The girls enjoyed the jacuzzi with their aunt and uncle.

Jacuzzi Time

The vista was fantastic!  The mountains are so close, and rise up so steeply.  We were even able to watch my cousin take off in the helicopter to get married at Table Rock.  Might have to save that for another blog!

Off to get married!

The reception was so much fun.  We danced and made wonderful fools of ourselves!  The band played everything from Abba to country!  The mosquitoes were fierce, but the dancing kept us moving!

Dancing Fun!

Now to get to the "Dance Off".  I'm not sure how it happened, but I know that Tom Jones "It's not unusual" was playing.  Someone "my husband?" wanted to know who was the better dancer.  Was it Dave or Timmy?  My brother decided to text his wife and ask her opinion.  All of the sudden a "Dance Off"  was declared!  My husband and brother in law in a "Dance Off!"  Too funny!  Problem was, that we had different opinions of who won.  The band had played their last song.  We had  plans of continuing inside, but it was just too late and we were were all too tired!

A very unique and funny moment.  We had a grand time and know that another "Dance Off"  will be in our future!
