I Pity the FOOL.....

who makes this statement.......

"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

WHAT AN IGNORANT ASS!!!!!

It just had to be said and I'll leave it at that!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Since I don't have any kids of my own or pets that would allow me to dress them up, I decided to post about how cute my friend, Kathy's, Halloween bunch looked! Aren't they adorable!!!!

Buster, Augie and Daisy!

SALEM, MA

The Custom House

Town Hall

Old Burying Point cemetery

We ventured off to Salem, Mass, home of the infamous Salem Witch Trials! It's such a neat place and only a 20 minute drive from where we live. Everything about this town breaths, eats and sleeps WITCHES, Ghosts and Goblins! They have tours, haunted houses, street vendors, plays, reenactments of the witch trials, you name it, going on for the whole month of Oct! We walked the trail and took a witch tour, but decided to skip the haunted houses...I was too scared!

SALEM, MASS..Cont

I got to hold a baby Alligator and YES, I was excited!!! He was kinda cute!

Movie Night!

Rowdy, Marcie(Rowdy's Mom) and I went to see The Departed last night! It was AMAZING and the whole thing was based in Boston, which made it even better...well, for me anyway!!! I would definitely recommend!

Brian's Visit- Day 2!

Well, unfortunately, I had to work the following day, so the boys were on their own! These are the ONLY pictures they took all day! IMAGINE THAT! Well, we know for sure they had lobster! Anywhooo, I tried to get out of them what they did all day, but I got some story about a loose pepper and a magician??? I guess we had to be there! HA! HA! Did you get the same story, Samantha?! Well, All the matters is they had a good time!

Brian's Visit - Day 1

This is how Rowdy looks when his Oakland A's lose!
Those are some mighty big beers, boys!

Smokin' some C-GARS at HAAAVAD!

Brian had a TDY to Boston last week and decided to stay a couple extra days to hang out with us. We spent most of the afternoon and all night hanging out around Harvard Square. We started off at Grendel's Den, a popular Harvard hangout, but since they didn't have a TV to watch his beloved Oakland A's, Rowdy allowed just enough time to scarf down BIG pretzels and a couple beers, before we were off to the next place, Tommy Doyle's. We had some dinner, watched the A's lose, and then moved on to Whitney's, a tiny pub, to watch the Cardinal's WIN! We had a really good time!

Thank You!

I just wanted to send out a BIG MUCHO GRACIAS to everyone who acknowledged me on my Birthday ,Thurs, even though I'm getting "WICKED" OLD!! (I just had to throw in some Boston Slang!HA) I received some really thoughtful gifts, cards, phone calls, serenades, texts, emails, blog postings, you name it! I especially enjoyed my Boston Cream Cake and hour long, Deep Tissue Massage at the Spa, courtesy of Rowdy!

THANKS HUBS!

I will update more later.....

Sat Night

Debbie flew into town this weekend with her friend Ryan, so Sat night we went out to dinner at Out of the Blue, in Davis Squre, followed by some dancing at the Burren. According to our photos, we had a great time, but most of them came out blurry! Gotta blame the wine!

More Fall Photos

Fall is Here!

Rowdy and I went on base today to pick up his car, and on the way home, I TRIED to take some photos of the trees, while driving. I didn't do a good job, but it's the most beautiful fall

I've ever seen in my life! I'll take and post more photos later!

I LOVE FALL!

Maine Cont....

The next day was gloomy ,unlike the day before, but we still managed to do a little sight seeing around Maine. We also stopped by the outlet malls in Kittery, Maine on our way home. The whole town is an outlet mall with a ton of stores. Surprisingly, Rowdy was doing most of the shopping! I was just too tired to shop!

Wedding in Maine

Wedding Location

This is the only photo I captured of the bride and groom that wasn't blurry, but they looked great!
Joe, TJ, Justin and Rowdy

Rowdy showed up just in time for us to drive to York, Maine the next morning for Chris and Caroline's Wedding. (It's about an hour from our place). It was a beautiful location and day for a wedding. We also had a mini Cheyenne reunion, but I didn't really have the chance to take many photos.

Later that evening, we all headed out for some Maine Lobster(no photos, sorry).

It was good to see everyone!

Looks Who's BACK!

Rowdy made it home safe and sound late Fri night and a few days earlier than expected! WAHOO!
