What I did on my Summer Vacation

Well I am on vacation right now. Tommorrow is my last day. How time flies. What did I do... well ... not much!!! I did go to the Garden State Art Center with Will. We saw Toby Keith. This photo is from the wall paper section of the http://www.bigdogdaddy.com/ website. Isn't he cute!!! If you go to the site you can register to win a backyard concert with Toby Keith or a new Ford truck. Not bad prizes... I would like Toby, although the truck is more practical!!!


The concert was AWESOME. Except for William being a bit cranky!!! There were alot of streamers and confetti shot from cannons and a bunch of fireworks and stuff! He did all the older songs. Not too many from the new album. I was disappointed I didn't get to hear a few of my favorites, but he has sooo many good songs I am sure it is hard to pick out what the play list is.
And the day before we were at Sue's house for a belated Graduation party for Nick. Monday, Tuesday and today have been uneventful. But that is fine. I really don't have any money and I really don't care to do anything. Tommorrow my car goes in the shop for maintenance and inspection. More money going out!!! Yahoo!!! Oh well...that is all for now!


Try to type more later

Last Stop Knoebels!!!

William will be home tommorrow!!! I can't wait. I am really looking forward to hearing all about his trip.

I asked him what he would like to have for dinner. So we are having spareribs, hamburgers, cucumbers, tomatoes, potato salad and lots of pickles with icecream cake for dessert.

He will be home before me and I made my Mom promise that no one will go in his room until I get home. I hope he likes it!!!

Today they went to Knoebels amusement park. Pop didn't fair too well on the first ride so Will went on by himself. I don't have any pictures of this part of the trip, as of yet. But I do want to put in the picture of the Brickyard. For you non-NASCAR fans... The kissing of the bricks is tradition after winning the race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. If you want to see more about the track click on this link. http://www.nascar.com/races/tracks/ims/ There you will see 8/6/06 winner, Jimmie Johnson, and his team, kissing the bricks after winning the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. Or you can click on this link http://www.brickyard.com/ for the official website. But here is my boy and those most famous bricks..

The End of the Road.....

Well almost!!! William's Adventures are almost over. I can't wait to see him!!! I miss him alot. I must say, though, I have been busy. I painted one of the 2 bathrooms and totally redid William's room. I will put photos in here of the redo after he sees it. I don't think they are checking in on my blog, but if they do, I don't want him to see the finished product. It is a totally different room. And not what I would have picked for a color scheme. But that is what he wanted. PINK!!!!! Shocking Pink to be exact.
Well as for his travels...what I can remember them telling me....
They were at a zoo today. They did some NASCAR type race. William won!!! They went to see the St. Louis Arch. The line was too long to wait to go up in the arch. (2 hours) I think they said Indianapolis Speedway is tommorrow. For the 4th of July they have Knoebels planned. And HOME AGAIN on the 5th!!! I can't wait to see my boy! Mom and Dad, too!!
Now I just have to clean up the house.....after all the hot tub parties...beer bottles and the like are everywhere!!! lol!!! I even came up with 2 mens shirts!!!
No really....after remodeling William's room I have junk everywhere!!! 2 dressers, shelving unit, painting supplies, drill, nails, hammer, and lots of laundry!!!! yuck!!
I need to sleep now. I only had a few hours last night. So TTYL.
Nighty Night!
