Wordless Wednesday: When There Was Only Two….

Posted on November 4, 2009 by insider53

'75 and '79

This is ’75 and ’79 a few months before ’80 was born, when there was only two. Notice how much B looks like his mother ’75.

Bar-B-Que And Yawns….

Posted on November 2, 2009 by insider53

Now about that bar-b-que I went to. I had a really good time except I was so tired all I wanted to do was sleep. I didn’t get one single picture or even a great story but I did get some great food. My son in-law is Filipino and he makes meaty, juicy ribs that are to die for. His parents were there so we had lumpia and banana lumpia too.


lumpia

Lumpia is like a spring roll and you can never eat just one, 10 maybe but not one. A banana lumpia has brown sugar-coated bananas sliced in half and rolled in the lumpia wrapper (instead of meat and vegetables) and then deep-fried, this is unbelievable good. I brought homemade navy beans since this was a pot luck and even though I know they are good they looked pretty sad next to all that sticky, deep-fried, carb-heaven, goodness. This may be the reason I was so tired, too. much. food. There was a Hawaiian Rainbow cake for desert, I didn’t get any. I was trying to be good and with all the other things I had eaten there was just no way I could eat cake. Too bad because if you haven’t tried one, its delicious. In the end I went home early and took a nap. I think maybe I am getting old. Oh! and the picture above is from google images. I told you not one single photo. lol.

Trick Or Treat ’09….

Posted on November 1, 2009 by insider53

Are you wondering what my grandkids dressed as for Halloween…..no…… too bad because I’m going to show you anyway. They were just too cute. Most of the kids in our neighborhood are older but they still go trick or treating. Your never too old for candy. I did notice that the costumes this year were very thin, by that I mean not many details to them. There was also a lot of re-cycling of last years costumes, like with my grandkids. They didn’t seem to care though and still had a good time.  Hey! free candy. If the bad economy has had this effect on Halloween what will it do to Christmas. Better off not thinking about that for now.

Going to a bar-b-que today for my son in-law Mike’s birthday. He and ’80 don’t have kids yet but they have plenty of time for that. In the meantime enjoy the cuteness that is B and K. Oh geez I hope something blog worthy happens at the party today. Is it bad of me to hope that, a little obsessive or more likely obnoxious I imagine. Do any of you do that, look at everything as an opportunity for blog material.


B as Jack S

Arrr! I’m Captain Jack Sparrow. Wouldn’t you give him extra candy.



K as a fairy

K’s best “Top Model” pose



B and K halloween 09Okay he’s a little short for a pirate, but she is a little tall for a fairy so it’s all good.

Vincent And The Raven….

Posted on October 31, 2009 by insider53

I can’t think of anything that evokes the spirit of Halloween better than “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe…..unless it’s also being read to you by Vincent Price. Halloween nirvana.
