Provincetown, Mass....what a blast !!!



Well here's the final piece of our trip. We ended our trip in Provincetown. We had so much fun here !!! I celebrated my birthday here and we had a fresh lobster dinner followed by strawberry shortcake in the room. Mmmmm....what a fabulous day !!
We were supposed to go out on the boat for the whale watch for my birthday, but the seas didn't cooperate. So the following day we went on the whale watch, and it was so beautiful. We began by seeing some seals jumping through the water, then we headed out farther into the ocean...and found a momma and baby swimming together. They were so cute !!! Then we found a group of 7 whales "bubble feeding", which was an amazing sight to see !!! Our naturalist told us that they haven't seen that many whales bubble feeding in a few years, so we had a special treat !!!! Our Massachusettes trip was fantastic and I can't wait to scrapbook our pictures, I've already been out shopping for stickers and paper !!! Thanks to all who have watched our videos, we are so proud of our trip and love to share our stories with others !!!

Salem Trip (part 2)


Well here's part 2 of my Salem trip. It's not much, but it's a couple pics from our ghost hunt. Our tour guide, Michael, was a real treat !!! He is a side show performer , (sword swallower) for a local touring side show group. We talked about the movie Freaks with him, and he knew some people who actually worked with the pinhead Schlitzie!!! If you haven't seen the movie Freaks, it's about the side show people who performed at the circus. It was banned in the USA for awhile because it shows how the disfigured people were exploited by the circus owners. If you haven't seen it, you've got to. It's an old black and white movie but it is well worth watching !!! Next to come....Provincetown pics...and our whale watch !!!

Salem Trip (part 1)


Well we are finally back from our trip to Massachsettes. What a blast we had !!! This little video here contains a few pictures from Salem. We went on a Spellbound Ghost Hunt and I actually photographed orbs which I will be posting pictures of later. We spent 2 days in Salem at an old inn that was built in the 1800's called the Salem Inn. It was a very pleasant stay and we enjoyed the in-room jacuzzi !!! We also visited the old burial grounds where several people were buried from the witch trials. We did alot of shopping and ate at some very awesome restaurants that had fresh seafood, which is our favorite!!! I will be posting more later about our trip !!!

Skull Crusher Trike Party



Enjoy the little slideshow from the trike party. This party was hosted by the builder of our trike, Jeff and his wife Thelma. We met alot of nice people there who we will be riding with in the near future !!! I got to drive the green firetrike, what a blast that was. Robin screamed and giggled all the way down the road !!! We can't wait to get out "baby" completed !!!!

Also I got an old 1980 yamaha 650 special for the front.

It only cost me 25 bucks !! What a deal !!! We are going to cut that baby apart soon,, and really get down to the designing of our monster !!!

Hangovers are not fun.....but getting drunk is !!!






Well, needless to say, I went out with friends last night and got intoxicated. We went to the local watering hole and saw a live band. The band was awesome, as usual. They are called E-Z Money The drummer is a co-worker and the lead singer is my old high school English teacher. They are a great bunch of guys and really know how to rock !!! They mainly play classic rock, and I love to listen to them. I had A vodka and cranberry, which led eventually to SEVERAL vodka and cranberries. I haven't been this intoxicated in literally years...so I was due. We ALL had a blast, and everyone came back to the house afterwards and played Rock Band. Nothing is better than watching drunks play Rock Band !!! A good time was had by all, and we all are looking forward to doing it again, but not too soon, I gotta recoup from this time !!!

Spring time busy bee........



Today was a very busy day. I only have one day off this week and had WAY too much planned, but I got most of my jobs done. Grocery shopping, lawn mowing, weed whacking, flower planting, and taking out the garbage - all done !!! Washing my car will have to wait for another day, it looks like Mother Nature may help me later in the week, so I'm glad that I put that on hold. I have to work numerous hours this week, so hopefully my sinuses will cooperate and stop giving me a headache. Robin and I are both feeling under the weather, she has an ear infection and I have a VERY bad sinus headache, but I've started taking my allergy medicine, so hopefully things will get better. This weekend I get to go camping for the first time this year. I am SOOOO looking forward to fishing and relaxing, and spending some time with Mom for Mother's Day. Happy Spring too all !!!
