I guess we got caught up in the craze of FceBook and just blew off the blog scene. Not the best excuse but the truth! The last few months have been rather tough on my family. My sister Cathy, passed away very unexpectedly on March 16th. She was only 36 years old and suffered a fatal brain hemorrhage on March 10th. Just the day before, we had to put our golden retriever Bailey to sleep. He was 13 years old and it was really hard. Losing him and then my sister so close together was a shock and very hard. As always Deb was my biggest support through it all. She and her family have had their own troubles as well. Her brother Chris got into a bit of trouble which resulted in him and his wife divorcing and us taking their dog Todd since neither could keep him where they are now living. My sister had 2 dogs and a cat as well. My Mom has her dogs and Deb and I now have her cat Lucy. So, to make sure everyone is clear, we now have 2 dogs, Baxter and Todd and three, yes three, cats: Benjamin, Stella and Lucy. Our house is small but full of love when it comes to animals. </span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">Deb and I went to Sanibel, FL for a few days of relaxation after Cathy passed and it was nice. We just went to the Glee concert in Indianapolis as well. We're planning at trip to Myrtle Beach with my Mom in September and while we're there, we're going to spread some of Cathy's ashes. Myrtle Beach was my sister's favorite place in the world to go so we thought it'd be nice for her to be there permanently. Can't guarantee we'll blog regularly but I'll try to do better. Take care! </span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">Kelly :) </span>mackellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04075460592326232906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374065608526796007.post-25110416820184261192010-03-13T18:46:00.005-05:002010-03-13T18:57:12.554-05:00Deb's Birthday, Valentine's Day, & Florida<div><div>Since the last post, I have celebrated my 38th birthday - we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the Spaghetti Warehouse with Jin & John and Denise & Bob.

Although the weather wasn't quite as warm as we would have liked, we did get to spend a few days laying in the sun and we got to go back to Disney and this time, Sea World. We had a really great time!

I know, I know. It's been forever since we've posted anything. Last post was in September as a matter of fact. Let's see, since then Deb and I have been to Florida (pics were posted on facebook), the Yankees won the World Series, sadly Deb's grandma Marge passed away in November, the holidays came and went and winter has certainly arrived! We're going to Melbourne, Florida again on March 1st and this time our friend Jinnie is coming along. We're staying in the same condo as before as Jinnie and her husband co-own it with her brother and sister in law. Needless to say, we're very eager to get away from all this snow for a little while! Don't get me wrong, I'm a snow-lover but even I need a break!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">We're taking it easy this weekend. Planning to stay home today and watch some Olympics and college basketball (GO DUKE! GO BUCKEYES!) I'm sure we'll catch up on laundry and hit the grocery as well. Pets are all doing well and Bailey LOVES the snow. When its deep its hard on his old hips but he still loves to roll around and make snow angels! Baxter not so much! He goes out and comes right back inside! I'm sure we'll have more pictures from our vacation and we'll try to post a little more regularly! Take care!</span>mackellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04075460592326232906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374065608526796007.post-90694548402142984292009-09-07T11:30:00.009-04:002009-09-07T12:08:35.848-04:00It's been a while...<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I couldn't believe it when I saw we hadn't posted since July! I guess time really does fly sometimes! Our last post was about our vacation to Vegas and I guess not much has really happened since then. There was my Mom's birthday (August 18Th) and a family get together at our house with my Mom's side of the family. It was a great time; happy and bitter sweet as it was the first time we'd all been together since my Aunt Jo died in December. Needless to say, there were laughs and a few tears. Deb's been gone since Friday as Labor Day weekend means the annual McInturf Family Camping Trip at Mohican. I went last year but passed this time as my allergies were HORRIBLE from being outside the whole time. The dogs and I just hung around the house and relaxed. I attended our fantasy football draft last night and after 4 hours of picking and strategy's, I think we came up with a pretty decent team. Team Gridiron Girls is ready to go! I've posted a few photos from the months gone by. We've got another vacation planned in October as we're heading to Melbourne Beach, Florida. I friend of mine has a condo there and she's letting us use it for free! It was an offer too good to pass up! I'm sure we'll make a stop at Disney World and will have some new things to post about when we get home. Take care!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Kelly</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">We took my Mom to The Buxton Inn for her birthday dinner.</span></div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378756906037190162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimvDi_v5tQA527tHBTIY8U_zydo1YeykXudTc8q58DOg2aCeu__MIk4Y3XGYRL_hhKCmTyv1kSrP9RzRYWNrZJ9tbb4cH680eItaT3njwJUBG9Oym615jiil3RPlyxmNCO1DxaoIug3yPk/s400/2009_0822HOCOpicnic0056.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378755934673536306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmG7pmPPYeGcHdZUeN_8LeYo2Cp7RwFmqinXr0l6e_ttxB754BCM1mf8zkg3832M2SKYO6DCCCBBTNvymVy_cB3i3EAAYWKWlgUhSUaJXNfWszWpnvVwy2FcXPMfAGooS-B63LnhrtkGd9/s400/2009_0822HOCOpicnic0057.JPG" /></span><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Mom, Cathy and I in front of the fountan at The Buxton Inn</span><br /></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">My second cousins Chase, Tyler, Chad, Whitney, Brianna, Kacie, Nathan, Jordan and Jayven.</span></div><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378752891425769698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6mxwXipvCodegg4O38PVXcwZgisX6JKUOXYbF_MmvkEf0fmxdWyGLmZv0BrSDY_MH2YDw0rXNoSA06g6NCBTI045SUaYqjzYOOHw2X1VdiAcfFvwJujqaxlFBrBs_DLFkMz6wIMKkNGCz/s400/2009_0822HOCOpicnic0036.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378752184451702578" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCw1pmwdDwI8ijFnmRY0ZPLp5V9bONI9_aqq1cK6GwE9STMJ-4krUG-HZtyXjRDYp95_o6qewDwgYkJApLKmSsoNSzOSFdvh9Cew3uYcxCUCYiUoV1nlzx6SeABaRkSAch6yAb16dETGVI/s400/2009_0822HOCOpicnic0039.JPG" /></span><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Me and my sister Cathy with our cousins Chrissy, Stepahnie and Terri.</span></div>mackellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04075460592326232906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374065608526796007.post-90222998051799241522009-07-25T14:00:00.008-04:002009-07-25T14:41:26.691-04:00Vegas Vacation!!<div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> Well, we're finally home from our vacation in sunny and HOT Las Vegas. And when I say hot, I mean hot! The temps never dropped below 100 degrees the entire time we were there! Deb was the big winner out of the group ( eight of us all together: Deb's parents, brother Chris and his wife Amy and brother Tim and his girlfriend Molly) as she won $1,200 on the slots! I was playing a machine next to her when she hit and she literally turned ghost white as those credits kept going up and up! My luck, on the other hand, wasn't as good. Overall, I think I lost about $650 which was not my plan at all! Oh well! I took the money to play with and that's what I did! In the end it was nice to be away from work for a week. I've posted a few pics but I think Deb's posted most of them on her facebook page so you may want to check them out on that site. Me, Deb and her parents did see the off Broadway show "Jersey Boys" at The Palooza Theater and it was a great. It's about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. It was very entertaining and the music was fun to sing along with. Next year I think we'll vacation on a beach somewhere so I won't lose so much money and it'll be a bit more relaxing! Take care!

It's the bride of Frankenstein! Not actually, but scary I know! I was fortunate enough to undergo a sleep apnea test on Monday night. I dragged Deb along so she could snap a few photos of me after I was hooked up and ready to go. I arrived promptly at 7:45 pm and of course had a small delay at the registration desk. Once that was settled; off to the sleep clinic we went. After some paperwork and a short video; they started wiring me up. The whole process took about an hour an a half! Poor Deb! She was tired and I'm sure a little bored but she stuck it out! Now, the pics ARE NOT FLATTERING and I'm probably crazy for posting them, but oh well! It is what it is! It wasn't easy sleeping in this stuff but I did from 11:00 p.m. til 5:30 a.m. The tech said I do have some apnea but it wasn't severe enough to apply a C-PAP machine to me during the night. I follow-up with the doc in a week or so to get the final verdict. My favorite part of whole get-up was the straps they placed directly above and below my boobs. As you can see; it did not create an attractive look! Well, until next time; I'll keep snoring away!</span> <div><div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Kelly</span></div></div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343239841856882850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZo3QZDLVG-u_axsMiUqJChG8-OWa2qTZwZ33QYQhbqJimliy8juRkeAwYOJcRVLyP72i6pAwtpyvEA_UFhSPwSubqc5J7-qR7tWTcyeJ7tSbRd2svEaLw6TGj9s7Np4U3tyt9ahHDz9GM/s400/2009_0602sleeptest0006.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343240207752529858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghcmOtNx9OUejvY7tGAEJlRaWjQkhA2tf4aJz4OuooKvxBUv10Fk7jHlOdsAanIsxDaCBLWI0sjGIlocEDLPe3D7Id0znttC4ab2Z4W3UFl2C20cOD9z5dAQ2wPWXRAgQrxx5DOPcEd4Wy/s400/2009_0602sleeptest0005.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343240586754587330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKDAGPtA7A-KFl4VIkupNp6yFqqufU1g8a5UCeBR8yR_sXZ7gjB9DU_QWV2myZAaN7P_G7D3qyvQtv6oYeBRjb-9F0MJH42qdLCkbi7hmDuVX18N_-N_PznWcNEwqWrclziS-C7vAl2MTt/s400/2009_0602sleeptest0007.JPG" border="0" />mackellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04075460592326232906noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374065608526796007.post-92198247354731886192009-05-30T20:49:00.007-04:002009-05-30T21:15:50.802-04:00Starwberries on the Sqaure...<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Well, its that time of year again! The annual Strawberries on the Square Festival in downtown Newark. Its a weekend of fair-style food, carnival rides and local entertainment. We're not talking Ohio State Fair status but its kinda of tradition here in Licking County. Deb and her office mates always head over at lunchtime on Friday and then she and I hit it over the weekend. We headed over today and it was a gorgeous afternoon. It was sunny but not too hot and there was a nice breeze. Needless to say; I put on quite an eating exhibition! Started out with a steak burger, then moved on to french fries. We then headed straight to the strawberry shortcake stand and ate away. For some reason I was still a little hungry - scary isn't it - so I finished up with a corn dog! By the time we got home, I needed a Pepcid and 2 tums! We ran into our friends Kim and Mel so we spent some time together eating and laughing as we people watched. We hadn't seen them since the NKOTB concert. My friend Tracy was working the strawberry shortcake stand so I snapped a few pictures of her in action. All in all, it was a nice afternoon. Getting ready to settle in for the night and hopefully watch the Cavs win Game 6!</span> <div><div><div><div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Kelly<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341788748937404594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6rSbcOyEvhhSCgF8IjCMA516xg-AyJCF7Rqg60i-z4YGz9yje24FxyBHQIoqWoVbOO6OlSGgHnWngD4nN_M-ZbQYwD3-mtPCBicagU_IyXQ6A7WOiXfY3YVW_V1vM5hmk7o9tN7KFrP5P/s400/2009_0530strawberrysquare20090011.JPG" border="0" /></span></div></div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341789053422634130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHezorOd5yX-22XnbVV86_1ujDFFcCXBOvNiNui8CT_17vq_eanN1k2-3UFKDWVzJKPRBDFLr4Rf3BTmqj3JhmxjGfjMHnycZESrAUQ4Exl6vvLRXeS3EVWH3ViSDlm4hUVChKZUFDhN_U/s400/2009_0530strawberrysquare20090006.JPG" border="0" /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341789382978298866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRs1md-eyw90TVCOGwBhyphenhyphen7nGN7ZTlrtnWGgGgku4O-aAKAVMoSHM527rnRIMJS5I8X6WOI6hHxl0EmuIhXYOhf9uBqa35Im7D1vUABTSpkqOwbtOkE2UNh7e6VqNN7tfL5BSKhe0p1sAiu/s400/2009_0530strawberrysquare20090008.JPG" border="0" /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341789832813864578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp4PWaWO73OqgssoBtlqJ69Mv2Dm9T80rxpwch18H_HiMmijQkyUUcGmk10uIfcZGq-C6U9AmpvfkvKHQiyllSzDBgnzQdpHsYTyW_p2hDQJ8nyJtY7USQZcUuUhawEF_pUuTiry_ue5sd/s400/2009_0530strawberrysquare20090009.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341790162552336002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLtcEGwABcEAcltCDTq086dflQYJycVmFkVH76gZCTXXbhDQwOY0LGxZZEjUZnqGiVV7KT2bPFta430fvUQFGHEjiq7yZOkFUSLsziJLU9e7E4IIl0kXPFPC0L-fmFw5vtDA5wbelu7Y8x/s400/2009_0530strawberrysquare20090005.JPG" border="0" />mackellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04075460592326232906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374065608526796007.post-65301873978159453752009-05-27T20:09:00.007-04:002009-05-27T20:31:18.877-04:00Attention All Dog Lovers!<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I am helping my friend Anne find a home for a precious and sweet dog. The poor guy was found by my friend's daughter at a soccer field. He was thin and hungry and had obviously been abandoned. He's been stying with Anne and her kids for the past 3 weeks or so but they can't keep him as they are renting their home and no pets are allowed. They've named him Pete and he looks like a black lab mix. Anne says he is the friendliest dog she's ever been around and is very lovable. As you'll see from the pictures I've posted; he is great with kids and would make a wonderful family pet. He loves the water and spent several hours swimming over the Memorial Day holiday. Anne thinks he may be around 2 years old and he all ready knows several commands. Pete even goes to the door when he needs to go outside! He's been staying in the garage during the day and sleeps with one of the kids at night. "Sweet Pete" also spent time with other family dogs on the holiday weekend and got along with them wonderfully. If you or someone you know is interested; please respond to this post as I'll be checking it daily. Anne hates to give him up and she hopes to find him a safe and loving home. Please help Pete if you can! Thanks!</span><br /><div><div><div><div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Kelly<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340664653972371378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS1_XWpCXRjtJhJybInZodkpVSGkdZ8rVod-i2nQsEiEdj8OPJ0oRkqflLeI8eaaV-WQuEEA9KYiTJNq2bNnLCve_08KssLEsYBT7jOCaC85GSoWH61_7vzu_MUKrdce3orKnc59Bj9e3x/s400/DSC07227.JPG" border="0" /></span></div></div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340664844402191810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy_rSC_3BUi69PIprp70f_RAlhyt2vQsVSNQYUaXCh4e6UeTo51XtPfJk45jcRgN0xwBccNJ2ZA51JxXPCRHkpoZdo4lxFvX8X2tfwZnhnyQpnTuHjHovFAYKvkj_r5NRZZzBrtyRkkuKr/s400/DSC07163.JPG" border="0" /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340664974829656930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr_MucT2Y7AsJDtZrtcG3Z65ohMo5CQ6LsAOzKjE3pfGiAly6VB2neTHm5l9M7gmoJSPIjYcdXTZYVfXlnvASwjn6jcw2BFOOsWUmFNgyv44bHwah5MGicOzkYnA4EWvN6r6Ka0KVLdg1J/s400/DSC07211.JPG" border="0" /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340665192651589074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9Bz-oSEtFLoYRAXT9zIySNJ-lS-K8BtbPXyT3CwEgAHo42ZQciXywiT0TiOu643_cIXl4R3UjpNCnw_Kzr7XN1W74CTP1tIBsepXlUKu0WWvnIwsq-W8sSTukwjTHsMXV9nHaQj_6_eUN/s400/DSC07215.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340665349833735298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 225px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip4RP2ewIhxRDULtQAOSQCxr_9drGUW_Xh18BuiXTVeCa7tyn6r-7Dpwuq9Ck3aZ4OKLbGxnCKhKJG-rOjy1TcgGZl7XiHrUrVN-Z8VAN2H-T569FLHx7q2l0ifNTAPP1wK_B0Ih876xEA/s400/DSC07214.JPG" border="0" />mackellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04075460592326232906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374065608526796007.post-85810728358310646822009-05-26T19:48:00.006-04:002009-05-26T20:09:12.091-04:00Post Memorial Day Update...<div><div><div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> Greetings everyone! I know its been a while since our last post - we're not as quick at it as some people! Well, we made our trip to Erie, PA with Julie and Kim and it was a GREAT time! We did find some beach glass which was the main focus of our journey. Kim found the best piece of all - a big, bright yellow piece of round glass. It looked like a giant lemon drop! I did find a very small piece of red which is the rarest color to find, so I was pretty proud even if you need a magnifying glass to see it!! :) I've included some pics of our findings and of the two restaurants we ate at as well.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> Monday was of course Memorial Day and Deb and I spent all day with friends out at Buckeye Lake. We took an awesome pontoon boat ride and of course ate and drank until our hearts were content! It was a GREAT day and we can't wait until next year! I've included a photo of Mama Cardinal sitting on her nest which she conveniently built in our clematis!

YAY!!! I am ready for some warm, sunny weather!! I won't bore you with the past - if you keep up with facebook, you know most of it already anyway. I have posted some pics below of our daffodil that bloomed - isn't it pretty? We didn't plant it and have no idea how it got there, but it has bloomed the last couple of years - I call it our "rogue daffodil"! LOL!! Also pictured is Kelly, her sister, and her Mom on Mother's Day. We treated her Mom to a delicious buffet at the Granville Inn. My Mom is in Myrtle Beach, so she got a phone call! :) Finally, and most interestingly, I have posted a pic of the owl that we spotted on our driveway a few nights ago. Isn't that a hoot??? (cheap pun, I know!) <div><div><br /><div></div><div> Coming up we have some exciting trips. This weekend, we are setting out on a journey to find us some beach glass. For those of you who have never watched the travel channel, some lady was collecting beach glass on a show we were watching and we (well, Kelly and Kim) decided it would be neat to try and find some for some crafts. I'm looking forward to this adventure with Kim & Julie to Erie, PA and hopefully, we will find some glass. If not, I am sure we will have loads of fun anyway!!</div><br /><div></div><div> The first weekend in June we are setting off for a weekend getaway to Cincinnati where we will be taking in a Cubs v. Reds game, probably stopping by the Newport Aquarium, and hopefully, getting to see Kel's "Aunt" Lorna who has been very sick. We are looking forward to that weekend because it is the first time in a very long time we have gotten "out of dodge", so to speak!</div><br /><div></div><div> Then, of course, there is the family trip to Vegas in July. We can't wait for that!! We will try to keep the blog updated, but if you get tired of waiting, jump over to Facebook!</div><br /><div></div><div>--Deb</div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIic86GtUttbAYzGbBUwcfzpJ6KG1PfsQ4CSQgl3Z_1WTP3KStqjeVa_x4sNi3wCxm008jZiDgzRiU8AVv_pB-LUWZjHviVc14kouxflglPBsfwEsR6l_qtkHIGibQUPbaIDM7vlTYOmHz/s1600-h/2009_0512Easter20090001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335822318369508770" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIic86GtUttbAYzGbBUwcfzpJ6KG1PfsQ4CSQgl3Z_1WTP3KStqjeVa_x4sNi3wCxm008jZiDgzRiU8AVv_pB-LUWZjHviVc14kouxflglPBsfwEsR6l_qtkHIGibQUPbaIDM7vlTYOmHz/s200/2009_0512Easter20090001.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib2KhMTV8UTbG4WShJhT2U5EBmQSGgEnYUyqOU3B9KS338To_l5EIUDjm0U0o_-PHbDejZlUlh0_3il1tCk5go6LzhIiVmTJ9OKDBAxpC4G1rQVwWnR9dGFSzheRD1PTe37oy9UvTzFEq_/s1600-h/2009_0512Easter20090017.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335822517953172082" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib2KhMTV8UTbG4WShJhT2U5EBmQSGgEnYUyqOU3B9KS338To_l5EIUDjm0U0o_-PHbDejZlUlh0_3il1tCk5go6LzhIiVmTJ9OKDBAxpC4G1rQVwWnR9dGFSzheRD1PTe37oy9UvTzFEq_/s200/2009_0512Easter20090017.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc_0npEZM8qCl3cxP8HS5Xt9eyURAXjreUz7_Nl0O9HXB3N3QpW5d8hYjESIq2qMLR1gaIfDaVTzTnkv4uvFxLot1vHoxajd1EE8RRtZw3LnEkrY5oAsmEfAr2B1t6_da_HeTrlPE-7iU0/s1600-h/2009_0512Easter20090022.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335822775767102450" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc_0npEZM8qCl3cxP8HS5Xt9eyURAXjreUz7_Nl0O9HXB3N3QpW5d8hYjESIq2qMLR1gaIfDaVTzTnkv4uvFxLot1vHoxajd1EE8RRtZw3LnEkrY5oAsmEfAr2B1t6_da_HeTrlPE-7iU0/s200/2009_0512Easter20090022.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>mackellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04075460592326232906noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374065608526796007.post-87138425125157302262009-04-04T21:20:00.011-04:002009-04-05T10:38:46.968-04:00NKOTB - Take 2!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipl6c2xEAiWuCHpt1vr6SbnCm9X1C0cPuiZMEORU6aLvgByNGBjJgv2Ze1I4QSeY314KwQqsK9EHGE_qorZ6NN-doa9nTqiWOat7f_MB6qE1Yed6IDdqy5Lm9emQqWMGVYEhe5TFdHpdbC/s1600-h/2009_0404NKOTBconcert20090006.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321019336652436930" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipl6c2xEAiWuCHpt1vr6SbnCm9X1C0cPuiZMEORU6aLvgByNGBjJgv2Ze1I4QSeY314KwQqsK9EHGE_qorZ6NN-doa9nTqiWOat7f_MB6qE1Yed6IDdqy5Lm9emQqWMGVYEhe5TFdHpdbC/s200/2009_0404NKOTBconcert20090006.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><div><div><div>Last night was the New Kids concert - it was as fun as the first! This time, we were joined by Kel's Mom, who took the place of her sister since Cathy just had knee surgery and couldn't go. Also joining us were our friend, Kim Fair, and her aunt Mel. Kim went to H.S. with us and she was with us when we went to the Ohio State Fair to see the New Kids back in 1989 - 20 years ago - how time flies!!</div><br /><div>Anyway, we started the night at Spaghetti Warehouse - I love that place! Our Host was strange and tried to seat us at the wrong table, but he assured us that his map was messed up and that was the problem (not that he was just an idiot!!). Anyway, once we got straightened out and realized we were at table 203 and NOT 202, we were good to go!</div><div></div><div>We missed the opening act - it was some young, up and coming artist that none of us heard of, so it was no biggie.</div><br /><div>New Kids performed - pretty much the same concert that we saw in Cleveland, but they changed it up some - it was great! Lots of energy in the crowd and again - floor to ceiling - EVERYONE was standing throughout the concert! Crowd participation was at its best!! My kind of concert!!</div></div><div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The fun really began when we left the concert. We entered the parking garage at the same spot we drove in. Rode the elevator up and low and behold - NO CAR!! We walked around for a few minutes and we finally found it - across a concrete barrier. No problem, right? We would simply walk down around the corner and get to it! We walked around the corner - NO CAR!! What??? We went back up - there it was! It was the craziest thing!! We could see it, but we couldn't get to it! I STILL don't know how we were supposed to get to it. I finally climbed the wall and drove down to the bottom where everyone met me!! We must have spent 20 minutes in that garage trying to get to the car!! If that situation didn't provide for a good enough laugh, the next event did! When we got to the attendant, she asked for the ticket which had fallen into a crevice between the dashboard and the windshield. They spent at least 10 minutes trying to dig it out (as opposed to just waving us through since we had already paid!!) I have NEVER been in a parking garage where it was so difficult to get out!! We laughed halfway home about that!!<br /></div><div>Here are some pics and a video!

I am finding it hard to keep up to date with all of my television shows AND the computer sites and the blog is losing the battle. In any event, here I am now. The Final 13 is set for American Idol and there isn't a single contestant that stands above the others yet. Right now, I guess I am rooting for Alison, Danny, and Anoop. That could all change in a heartbeat though! I am MOST excited cuz Kelly Clarkson's new CD drops this coming Tuesday, March 10th. I have listened to most of the tracks on Youtube and with the exception of a couple songs, it is really great! I have already pre-ordered it on itunes and plan to make a trip to Target or Walmart on Tuesday to pick up the actual CD. I know, I am a little obsessed with my girl KC, but in my book, she ROCKS!! She is also scheduled to perform on AI and Good Morning America next week, so the DVR is set! <div><div><div></div><div><br /></div><div>Since the last blog entry, Baxter is doing much better now that his pain meds have taken effect. He is still a little gimpy at times, but he is doing pretty well. He still can't jump much, but that might not be a bad thing.</div><div></div><div><br /></div><div>As many of you know (if you read my facebook), Kelly has purchased a new car. I have posted a couple of pics below. It is a 2008 Subaru Outback and it is much nicer than her Jeep which was one of the most uncomfortable vehicles I have ever rode in!</div><div></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div>We have booked our trip to Las Vegas with my family in July. We are staying at the Flamingo for 4 nights. I know it will be the heat of summer, but I really can't wait!! It should be a lot of fun.</div><div></div><div><br /></div><div>That is all I can think of for now.

Three weeks ago he had some x-rays and it was discovered he's got significant arthritis in both knees. Last week, while running and slipping on the ice; he hurt himself. Final diagnosis was a a partially torn ACL. He's not a surgery candidate due to his age (10 yrs) and the bad arthritis. So, its limited activity (yeah right) and pain meds. Fortunately, he doesn't act like he's in horrible pain; but he's limping and holds his leg up at times. Of course, it's hard for us to see him this way!! Needless to say, he's getting a lot of extra attention and lovin' right now. Hopefully he'll be on the mend soon. We'll keep you posted!</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Kelly <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300056936392257266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtI7UgDoFhxlKBFlxFF_TsWXqbKe8h6JZEL1qATQadDi3igqJRvCue4RJHdSktPnIDuGi9lrnMkFpOq0zXngqX-OU-LjxDewUiYaXEz9h1LdIUgrwNY30531UQckZW3hV6RN0504PldDVK/s400/Mother's+Day+-+2008+007.jpg" border="0" /></span></div>mackellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04075460592326232906noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374065608526796007.post-83915128665314487522009-02-04T17:14:00.003-05:002009-02-04T17:32:35.455-05:00Cool Logo!!Hello everyone! I hope you're enjoying the cold weather as much as we are. Yeah right! I consider myself a winter person and even I'm sick of the cold and especially all the ice. Ugh! Super Bowl Sunday has come and gone and this year's game was another good one. I was pulling for Cardinals but at least the game was exciting. We went to a party at Debbie's and had a bunch of delicious food. I brought along a Reuben dip and it seemed to go over pretty well. Kim liked it so much she said I'll have to bring it to all the get together's from now on! In case you're interested; here's the recipe:<br /><br /><br />16 oz. Sauerkraut<br />16 oz. shredded Mozzarella<br />16 oz. shredded Cheddar<br />16 oz. corned beef (cubed)<br />1 cup Mayo<br />Cocktail size Rye bread<br /><br /><br /><br />Mix all ingredients (except bread) in mixing bowl and transfer to 9x12 casserole dish. Bake uncovered at 300 degrees for 45-60 minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Serve hot and spoon dip onto bread. After cooking; dip can be transferred to a crock pot on low setting if taking to a party or get together. It's that simple! I bring a bottle of 1,000 island salad dressing in case you want add some to the dip once on the bread.<br /><br />For those of you who know me; its no secret I'm a huge Yankees fan. My Mom likes to joke around and calls me a "Yankee Girl." I found this logo online and its from the old Yankee Girl Tobacco product line. I thought it was kinda neat so I decided to post it. I'm not a smoker but I liked it anyway. C-ya!<br /><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299071866277443058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 99px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 148px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQrISR0AHRb-eee9zTzESDlQq-RB9fAsKFNzAeYgp1ScxJOZvW0J2AYJb_8HMbnd6DR_Dy1jDqxk9_AlU8Cl-B1SwQnqMZZRF48dtnbq0nBdtguykXD0QhK2KbcqDWdO9Ap8FQLFiIYccB/s400/D0343-01-thm.jpg" border="0" /></div>mackellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04075460592326232906noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374065608526796007.post-79517228621695243362009-01-30T16:32:00.008-05:002009-01-30T16:50:55.823-05:00I'M SICK OF WINTER!Well, winter has hit us full force this week starting with the ice storm on Wednesday (at least I got out of working that day, though)! More snow last night and they are calling for more this Monday. I don't know about all of you, but I am ready for spring!! That groundhog had better not see his shadow on Monday!! <div><div><div><div><br /> Sunday brings us the Super Bowl - Steelers v. Cardinals - can you say BORING!!??!! At least I can root for the Cardinals since, as a lifelong Browns fan, I can't bring myself to root for the Steelers! I think I am looking more forward to the commercials! We are going to Debbie's house for a Special Superbowl Party - so at least we will have some good food and fun with friends!</div><div><br /> Tuesday is my birthday - big 37. Not too much special planned. We are going to Moretti's Italian Restaurant next Saturday with Kim & Julie, so that should be fun. I have never been there before, but I hear the food is great! I would also like to catch the movie "He's Not That Into You" sometime - it comes out on the 6th & looks really funny. We'll see. We don't make it to the movies very often.</div><div><br /> We did go last weekend and saw "Mall Cop" with Kevin James. It was really entertaining and funny and I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.</div><div><br /> Nothing much else to report, so I'll sign off. Enjoy these pics of the crew enjoying the winter weather (or not!)</div><div> </div><div> --Deb<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF3C_ZJH83oF1Ddj3aYO2rk0jujyQ1yhQzV3DyfjlP5KTE1q4PnquUQcRL8deId3WDnQWk3GgMTH7HGa9-Fr4jWZbzWdngZe0FZYxRgbCiCWt51bhOKSprOI4rtoBFlNtCJec-Yi_ng2gR/s1600-h/2009_0129Winter08-090029.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297205029879911490" style="WIDTH: 318px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF3C_ZJH83oF1Ddj3aYO2rk0jujyQ1yhQzV3DyfjlP5KTE1q4PnquUQcRL8deId3WDnQWk3GgMTH7HGa9-Fr4jWZbzWdngZe0FZYxRgbCiCWt51bhOKSprOI4rtoBFlNtCJec-Yi_ng2gR/s320/2009_0129Winter08-090029.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ5shmcC7TTxhQT4KGfL0vydoaZB2gYB24cD5spExAb4bkXcpfYheuIeimn80y1v5jgBks1swuaTPppDubEnmDibpItaBvtYhAi2URuWGYEPOBNmSJ7nDA1pYDopPB-G0Ai5vRBHStX6v2/s1600-h/2009_0129Winter08-090035.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297205966181761186" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ5shmcC7TTxhQT4KGfL0vydoaZB2gYB24cD5spExAb4bkXcpfYheuIeimn80y1v5jgBks1swuaTPppDubEnmDibpItaBvtYhAi2URuWGYEPOBNmSJ7nDA1pYDopPB-G0Ai5vRBHStX6v2/s320/2009_0129Winter08-090035.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div> </div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV9Bj1ET4Cp8IMAqopfwX1cQu62alwGe1zvq-sFWC7TdoIsZv_02rb_gI9qY4IS5whsszaaPuDQks2WaL8en_vbT8aMFJp5AAt9hdQrUIuKXBtX0TTV5WOnKypIOCYPkMUefUS0ZaEIPMj/s1600-h/2009_0129Winter08-090018.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297206244717523154" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV9Bj1ET4Cp8IMAqopfwX1cQu62alwGe1zvq-sFWC7TdoIsZv_02rb_gI9qY4IS5whsszaaPuDQks2WaL8en_vbT8aMFJp5AAt9hdQrUIuKXBtX0TTV5WOnKypIOCYPkMUefUS0ZaEIPMj/s320/2009_0129Winter08-090018.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWw9AdpUt_mb9XP3v_JrDWO6HUzkZ_7RWhx5Iv2uvmzAYJ2QjeIHhuIJnrrE8qG7IAd-Ev7LsC_wAs5pEe5vBQ_3nkU9r_DQBy1cYvOcrSxt0ePG8hUxDQCCVF56VsQjNy1c18zXCF-Zgi/s1600-h/2009_0129Winter08-090028.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297205366172243922" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWw9AdpUt_mb9XP3v_JrDWO6HUzkZ_7RWhx5Iv2uvmzAYJ2QjeIHhuIJnrrE8qG7IAd-Ev7LsC_wAs5pEe5vBQ_3nkU9r_DQBy1cYvOcrSxt0ePG8hUxDQCCVF56VsQjNy1c18zXCF-Zgi/s320/2009_0129Winter08-090028.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div> </div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9Bn8tYpY05Lnwr5A7GzfFqD7N8yyNCHSl4E8CK7Rf0Iyeuu4ShWtPSwMZa8YGZo_VKXgcwyGDbAg9nMsiPB4ksVKYz3C_JEgYxqVufTW_1pdUNK9I0ph_InN_jZm-WO_AABhDCsRRl8UF/s1600-h/2009_0129Winter08-090026.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297205686344996338" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9Bn8tYpY05Lnwr5A7GzfFqD7N8yyNCHSl4E8CK7Rf0Iyeuu4ShWtPSwMZa8YGZo_VKXgcwyGDbAg9nMsiPB4ksVKYz3C_JEgYxqVufTW_1pdUNK9I0ph_InN_jZm-WO_AABhDCsRRl8UF/s320/2009_0129Winter08-090026.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div></div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div></div>mackellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04075460592326232906noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374065608526796007.post-11654322332032458282009-01-20T16:59:00.002-05:002009-01-20T17:07:03.007-05:00INAUGURATION DAY!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBQx4Q0EkWKDrGAC6OX2GLZ6Rn5L00t5K_Q_yIYFQTDTEo4PurCsAEf12SvDi44PiiiGAe9mtVGUkVXwlLtHhUWBaE1lYt30U_aoa_4d1Ib65y0cbKUz9s-Mejw53xstm43Q9cVW46z996/s1600-h/Barack.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293499167453134610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBQx4Q0EkWKDrGAC6OX2GLZ6Rn5L00t5K_Q_yIYFQTDTEo4PurCsAEf12SvDi44PiiiGAe9mtVGUkVXwlLtHhUWBaE1lYt30U_aoa_4d1Ib65y0cbKUz9s-Mejw53xstm43Q9cVW46z996/s400/Barack.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>It is finally here!

I wish him all the success because if he is successful in his first term as our President, then that means our Country will be in a much better place than it is today (and I might quit losing money in my 401(k)!!)</div>mackellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04075460592326232906noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374065608526796007.post-10343818815712584622008-12-25T19:20:00.002-05:002008-12-25T19:24:29.464-05:00Merry Christmas!Just a quick note to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! My day started pretty early this morning - had to pick up my grandparents and be at my Mom's for breakfast at 9:30. We opened gifts and got ready for lunch at 1:00 p.m. I just got home (7:15 p.m.) As always, it was a fun day! Now, I am waiting for Kelly to get home so we can exchange our gifts - we usually do it in the morning before I leave, but she didn't have time to wrap my presents last night before she went to bed, so I have had to wait ALL DAY!!<br /><br />Ok - well, Merry Christmas to all - I hope you all had a good day of food, family, and fun!!mackellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04075460592326232906noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374065608526796007.post-66124298569813556562008-12-23T09:22:00.002-05:002008-12-23T09:24:27.271-05:00White ChristmasSince it doesn't appear that we are going to have a white Christmas, I thought I would share this site with you where you can go and watch an adorable dog having fun in extremely deep snow!

My Aunt Jo passed away yesterday at the age of 60. She was diagnosed with liver cancer on July 14, 2008 and after 5 months and 2 days of fighting; she lost her battle. She spent the last 2 1/2 months of her life living with my Mom and together with her husband Jim; they took excellent care of her. Please keep my Mom and my Aunt's daughters, Terri, Stephanie and Chrissy, in your prayers. We're going to miss her terribly and Christmas is going to be extra hard this year, but we know she's at peace and in a better place.

The day after Thanksgiving is the lighting of our courthouse and Deb and I always attend this with her family. We happily met up with Julie and Kim and Julie's Mom and Mike while there; so we took an updated - and cold - picture of us at the event. That's about it for now. It's time to start some serious Christmas shopping and Deb and I are putting up our tree today. I wish everyone a safe and happy Holiday season! </div><div align="center"><div></div><br /><div>Kelly<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276713878530556802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 146px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUYE0PAZKRY4nkp0C84ad6tx3kn1bKFBBlk68uJTFxZsxKDtDQ1wHpBjdS5Os6Vgg2u4y3rJKvl6mSuQljN_Age4KvHlaXMhMN8x6ccy7O6e_QdCeaPExjLAyA6176L1uF3C2J15mJA-af/s200/KCmeetsKS.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276714307037898754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8hX9VMm13T6fGWZ9yDxAAlPGRxKzFigK6Ie_u1v4C-wSC6JWx1QPJ28ErOI1woRwv-npTWzIRsBc3SBw2xMxvSvHM-wdy7mwG10Cw4_XbLad0vER9yal3c0V4rdcDZyNVJMN1jE3kQEx2/s200/2008_1128Thanksgiving20080062.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276714672942492674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjCmmDnYgLtTuYIZKtFa33dXvz5R4LbOOuDDd99Wn-awqQd8SEEupvqNz5oL1HRlfF3lxHsh2Q7W5zA65rC-9uGeeu4s35YDukNUSc9bQ8CdDgRH6SxkJmp2DzD-YT5Htw3EpIqZ58GvrC/s200/2008_1128Thanksgiving20080072.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5276715105667371522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSLKJIHNsGiUckR8ytgXrfeYGJZZBNf082VvrswtYBHOJsn6cgnM5nmRz32L2IxY5g1_28YCVaCb10I36p-zEwxqN78iMjWjOCaBRPf5Dv1s-drlGR9XQ9Z5xAgX5VBiF8xKJ2Rk_Jg5bZ/s200/2008_1128Thanksgiving20080073.JPG" border="0" />mackellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04075460592326232906noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374065608526796007.post-82483713945690416512008-11-22T23:11:00.007-05:002008-11-22T23:29:12.657-05:00Kelly & Reba - Part 2<div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhikeUvJCS8Zs-_k2YUHD-35zJFw05Rmol2dkrICrOfeXZsyRMWcGl1hhmv2TXy7jrP9Qk1EfarEUbiw-n-bX_Af_WBByBCAIjmHIQvPjw03WDjSB_GJO_CFoLDxtIHW77CsSURX9mcufY_/s1600-h/2008_1120Kelly-Reba0055.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271703857213426642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhikeUvJCS8Zs-_k2YUHD-35zJFw05Rmol2dkrICrOfeXZsyRMWcGl1hhmv2TXy7jrP9Qk1EfarEUbiw-n-bX_Af_WBByBCAIjmHIQvPjw03WDjSB_GJO_CFoLDxtIHW77CsSURX9mcufY_/s200/2008_1120Kelly-Reba0055.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><div>OK - so most of you know how much we love Kelly Clarkson & Reba McEntire. So much that we went to see the SAME concert again - this time in Columbus. I promised my dad that if they came to Columbus, we would take him to see Reba and we did. I think he enjoyed the show - he and mom had probably the best seats in the house. They were in the front row of the seats so they were high enough that they could see over the people on the floor who were standing, but they had no one in front of them so they could sit down the entire show. That was good since my dad's arm is in a sling from rotator cuff surgery that he had just 7 days before the show! Nothing was keeping him from seeing his favorite redhead!!</div><br /><div></div><div>The show was as amazing as the first time, although the audience was a little flat - I'm not sure what that was all about! Melissa Peterman (Barbara Jean from the sitcom, Reba) started the show off - she was hilarious getting us all ready for the big OSU-Michigan game with the familiar cheer, OH - IO! When she was done, the show began! I have posted 2 videos on Youtube. To see them, go to: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx5A5f5a1rA">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx5A5f5a1rA</a> (Fancy) and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bh3WFm_kIE">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bh3WFm_kIE</a> (Up to the Mountain). They aren't the best quality, but then, I am no expert videographer either!! It is also my first time ever posting on Youtube, so that is kind of exciting!</div><br /><div></div><div>I will let Kelly fill you in on her Meet & Greet with Miss Kelly Clarkson - lucky girl has gotten to meet her twice now. We are holding our breath that the picture turns out better this time! No doubt, it will be posted here when we get it!!</div><br /><div></div><div>Until then, enjoy these couple of pics from the concert!!</div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271703530117303298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlcCp1_gYlW-RLUg8DkpkfpeNsd7tqoEMeEQlEU8zec4Zr3P5I0Fe5e5LQEufKJI8f90TW87enXUZBx-s9sfc3rvYCgbq3rHAWMXi8ubAbJL-kkjPznkpWhGbPslYIma7BpeHpk6-x2wkU/s200/2008_1120Kelly-Reba0014.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271704748568510002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrIkeV_UkJtQvDdQ1j7BB4OBvwVn1Y4F2ekdUmgWBOOp1z2tvwo0KEW3mbpkaX60n7JiWE-WS-Nr2uvnKvUlLS6hHQoBeiDEMGFpl3cqO79axYHGK5_zh9cAS1aYE1Xc9VHnBckaE47toZ/s200/2008_1120Kelly-Reba0037.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271704222036907122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimCx_UMLNB7gHjQqe9MJs3f8hI71OAhUQF35Q_BBSsdBezry0Z4nRfcMjSEm81dIGv6gN7Owuola7YUqF7M-uV-q8VlncZeG_Zl-tI957ojc-J9niiaHwVCBvcjR-zXFyl7ab5RIR26olA/s200/2008_1120Kelly-Reba0052.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271703275979801666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAU3XwvokD6RLZoVplthaTQ8fBhx8xMzcnV3Rp0yjvcc_9ichOHL_10Ad-8jolDSYtQT0TO77osFiLVYb0hXG-VsldSUHn1ypKNgTHSD0H1A0fvxnlrtulHwWSwdNw2qvCojWsEK1hitub/s200/2008_1120Kelly-Reba0004.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>mackellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04075460592326232906noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7374065608526796007.post-40238266287678927982008-11-02T10:59:00.010-05:002008-11-02T11:28:10.198-05:00Halloween Party 2008!!<div align="center"> <span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Well, Halloween 2008 has come and gone. Deb and I were lucky enough to have been invited to a party put on by her cousin Julie's mom. As always, the party was great and everyone had a lot of fun! Neither Deb nor I won any of the individual games, but we were on the team that won the overall contest of Halloween Password! Our team consisted of me, Deb, Julie and Kim. We took home the trophy and we plan to defend our title again at next year's party! Deb was dressed as a rocker KISS girl and I was a pudgy, not so little Devil! The other costumes ranged from a witch and mad scientist to a doctor and Joe the Plumber! Here are some pics from the evening.</span> <span style="font-family:times new roman;">Deb and I also want to thank Kim for updating our</span> <span style="font-family:times new roman;">blog site.

It's been a while since I've posted and I'm pretty sure Deb has caught you up on most everything we've been doing. I'm still in mourning that the Yankees didn't make the playoffs, so I guess I'm rooting for the Tampa Bay Rays. I like the Phillies; but they've all ready got a few titles. Let's see, me, Deb and my Mom have re-joined the gym in an effort to get fit and lose some pounds. Needless to say, it's a slow process but I guess it really is good for us! Deb is getting more and more grumpy as the weather gets colder. This is something we disagree on for sure! I like fall and winter and the more snow the better! There's a chance of flurries next week so she'll be really mad! We're going to a Halloween party next weekend and I can't wait! We're still deciding on costumes but I'm sure we'll have photos of the festivities! Deb didn't want to dress up but she was over ruled. Can you imagine going to a Halloween party and not wearing a costume? What a kill joy! I'm posting some long overdue photos from months past and yes- one of is me with Jungle Jack Hanna himself. There's also a Mama Monkey and her little baby, a precious koala bear and a baby bunny from our side yard!
