16 and 30 in the 313 on 9 11

Happy Birthday Michael and Andy!

September 11th, Michael and Andy, two of my nephews birthdays.

Andy is 16 and will get his license.
And his moms Saturn.
And his freedom, well sort of.




Michael is 30
THIRTY
Bwahahahaha
Knowing Michael, once the shock is over,
he'll begin to worry about turning 40.

Art and Apple Festival

Rochester, Michigan Annual Arts and Apple Festival

This past weekend was the local 43rd Art and Apple Festival.

Over 250 artists from all over the country came, set up their tents and prayed for good weather.

The municipal park will have hosted over 100 thousand people from Friday through Sunday.

Just after the morning downpour, the sun came out, dried everything and left a perfectly sunny, with a slight cool breeze day.

My nephew is in the local high school marching band, and they provided great entertainment for the crowd. Yo Andy!

The food, the drinks, the entertainment, the home made apple pies, the a'la mode melting in the sun, kids, dogs, old and young. It's always a huge draw to our downtown.

I walked from one end to the other and through the overflow into the blocked off streets with my sister. I'm always amused by the "crap" some call art and left in awe by some beautiful, albeit unaffordable, things.

*also, my other nephew, Captain Obvious, is having a fabulous contest, go check out his post "Pass it On". Just leave a comment for a chance to win!

Guess Who Has a Birthday Today?

It's Captain Obvious!

Happy 29th Birthday to my nephew Michael

Happy 15th Birthday to Andy

It is also my other nephew Andy's birthday.
He is still in high school, and may not be forgiving
if I posted his baby pictures.

So here is a nice photo of him marching in his high school band.

And his Harry Potter look.


See some GOOD things did happen on 9/11 ...
Happy birthday you guys!
