WOO HOO - Last night we played our Monday night poker tournament (this is a photo of a couple our competitors - scarey aren't they??). I came in 3rd place - out of about 50 people. It's a good, clean, fun time. We've gotten to know alot of the local people at our little pub. A good percentage of the people who play are related to each other. It's like going to a family reunion sometimes. We've been doing this pretty much every Monday night for a year now - I think we've been adopted as long-lost cousins now. It's kindof like Cheers - everybody knows your name! (By the way, if you didn't already know, we're just playing for chips - no money involved! You can win a trip to LasVegas at the end of a "season", but so far we've not been that good!)



This morning the sunshine was neat thru a little bit of mist - I snapped this photo.



You can see the hibiscus from Denise's garden in the foreground. They are pretty, but they overpower the other smaller items in the flowerbed (mostly from Mom's garden - lambs ear, liriope, japanese iris). I need to move them before next year!

The boys are going to New York city this weekend with their marching band. They are going to a competition in Giant's Stadium. They will also get to see a Broadway play. Should be a great trip - they've been working all summer to earn the $$. While the kids are gone, Duane and I are heading to Annapolis with Buddy and Sharon for the annual BoatShow. I'm sure I'll have lots of photos to post after this weekend.

Be good, or be careful!
