A Tribute to the Clancy Brothers

the parting glass....my favorite song

THE HIGH KINGS

After waiting months to see them, last night I finally got to see the High Kings live in concert. They are a Irish singing group that I love. And they are here is the U.S. for the first time. I went with my friend Sam(antha). And because she so talented with a camera I got all these great picture. Which I never would have gotten on my own.

There will be some videos soon...when Sam shows how to do it!!

Anyhow the boys where a great as I thought they would be.

Two of the fellows having a bit of fun dancing.
They had a wonderful female fiddler and an amazing man on the bodhran drums.
I got to get an autograph from all of them. And here I am with Finnbar Clancy himself!!!!

I had a great day with GooGoo and got home in time to see Carly and her BFF Alissa(sp?) with their new field hockey uniforms.

These two girls are just a riot together.
Are these the coolest uniforms ever?
I even found time to embarrass Ashley at her job by taking her picture in front of EVERY one. Isn't she the cutest?

basil and dying flowers

I'm still practicing with my camera. My zinnias are dying but the basil is still going strong. I just thought it made a cute shot.
The light in the window is not the sun. Just the flash that I know is not supposed to be there.
Well, pretend it is some artsy shot of the moon rising.

Is this the end?

I think last weekend might have been the last day for the beach for me. But at least GooGoo, Alex and Dawn were there to. It was just the best summer day. And after we went to Al & Dawns for a cook out. And it was really a good night.
Some of Al's friends, who I haven't seen for a long time, were there.
I hate to think Summer is coming to and end. I mean I REALLY hate the thought of Winter.

Lemonade Stand

My grandson Carson thought the lemonade stand looked like fun. So here is the Utah version. The sign Carson made says "free". Next year I'm going to tell him to charge for it. College is only about 13 years away. hahaha
