Plaza's Last Stand

Tonight is the last Friday night at Plaza, I hope a lot of people come. I went to a sports bar in Chino Hills last night called Gem, and met Colleen and Gary there. It was pretty good, I like watching football in sports bars. This place is a heck of a lot cheaper than Chili's, especially when Gary and Colleen paid for my beer. I will get even. I made a fool of myself, AGAIN, when a kid I know came on the screen. Cory Lekkerkerker plays for the San Diego Chargers and got a lot of tv time last night. It is so cool to see someone you know on tv. It is going to be another scorcher today, my favorite! Kids in the house because it is too hot to go outside. I can't wait to have to complain about the cold.

Taco Tuesday

Last night was our normal "Taco Tuesday" and I was so excited because Alex, Jamie and Aiden came. I got Aiden's birthday party invite and it a real work of art. Jamie is so talented. There is even fine print details on the sticker. We went to Baskin Robbins after, it is $1 a scoop on Tuesdays and that made a sweet ending to an already great night. I can't wait to see them again, I am hoping this weekend. BOO HOO, Friday is the last night for Plaza. We have the whole back room so that everybody can eat, visit and the kids can run around. I am so glad that Tony is opening his own place so that we will have a place to continue the Friday tradition. This whole thing started after the Rowdy Rebels started playing, we have made lots of lasting friendships thru that team.

Family BBQ

Yesterday, Tom and Kim had the family over for a BBQ. It was great to see everybody and the weather turned out great, even thought there were lighting strikes and water spouts at the beach that morning. There were a couple of family members, Alex, Jamie, Aiden and Catherine that couldn't make it and were missed by all. We stayed for a while after everybody left and Tom told us stories of when he went to help at Christianne's camp for down syndrome kids. The stories were hilarious. Apparently, Tom was doing things for kids that were totally capable of doing it themselves and the other adult helpers were letting him do it and just standing back and having a good laugh. Kim has a powder blue Vespa and has already gotten a ticket on it, BAD TO THE BONE. We can't wait to see them again, and are going to Travis's football game this Saturday, if he has recovered from the injury from last Saturday's game. He got hit so hard they had him checked to see if he had ruptured his spleen. YIKES!!

Fantasy Football

Today is draft day for the fantasy football league that my sons and daughter-in-law are in. I am going to give it a try next year. I had a "list" last year and if I had gotten some of my picks, the guys would have gone down HARD. I LOVE watching football and hope that next year I can get a good draft and give the "boys" a run for their money. This year it is up to Jamie to represent for the females!!! Go Jamie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will sit and sew blankets and cheer her on. Of course, I would like to see my sons do well also, just don't be upset when you get beat by a "girl"
