Where everyone knows your name...

No, it's not the Cheers bar, but it's Steve's Diner! Harry and I love this place...everyone is soooo friendly...we ate there this morning for breakfast. Normally we eat there for lunch or supper, but we had finished going to yard sales and were HUNGRY! Yes, Sara, your dad actually went to some today! Finally saw April...she had changed to the morning shift because of her kids' school. There's Jackie, Lisa, Joyce and Alberta who agravate Harry to death...course he loves every minute of it. Oh, and don't let me forget Mr. Steve (that's what Caitie bug calls him) whose name is really John. The bug even has a t-shirt from Steve's...they always talk to her when she's down here. They even brought BEAR a high chair for him so he could sit at the table...now wouldn't you say that's going above and beyond your job as a waitress?

FINALLY!!!

The Delta IV Heavy finally lifted off tonight at 9:47 p.m! It was awesome to watch - you can see the launches from our balcony. It lifted off with nearly 2 million pounds of thrust which lit up the sky. After 3 glitches it was a go for the 1st launch of 2009 - btw, for those of you who want to know, this payload supports the military's national defense mission.
I love watching these rockets, but especially watching the shuttles. Any shuttle launch is a treat, but the ones that I love most are the ones that go up at night. Unbelievable! Next one is February 12.
Went to Steve's (my favorite diner) tonight for supper with Elmer and Margie Hamilton and Marci Workman They arrived today - will be spending two weeks down here in Barbara and Larry's old condo. We'll probably play lots of dominoes and euchre while they are here!
Speaking of Steve's - we're sitting at our table waiting on Lisa to take our order - very crowded tonight. Harry looks over at another table and tells me to look at the girl that's sitting there with her family. She dead on looked like Casey Anthony! Short hair, similar face, etc. and her daughter was just about the age of Caylee. Kind of freaky. I mentioned this to Lisa and she said that she had noticed the resemblance as well as several people that had seen her at Steve's before tonight. The gal needs to get a new 'do!

HAPPY 2009!

Goooooooo Gators! That was a great game last night - no, that was an awesome game! I thought that it would be a high scoring one, but realized in the first quarter that the win would probably be a close one. My boys outdid themselves - Tebow, Harvin, Pouncey twins, Demps and Black - what an interception! I LOVED it that Tebow got a penalty for doing a gator chomp...that's probably the first time that he's ever done something like that in his football career.
I know what you're thinking! I'm suppose to be for the Kentucky Wildcats - well, I just like the GATORS better!
Went out curbing last night before the game - nothing, however, I did see plenty of people in their driveways having GATOR parties. Firepits as well as barbecue grills were going - wonder if I could have joined some of them!
I miss you Caitie and Colin! Yes, Sara, I miss you too! Love you always.
