The Luau @ Franciscan Court 2010

Can you spot the difference?

A Hawaiian Luau in Chicago! :)

This past Saturday, July 24, 2010, I went to a Hawaiian Luau at the Assisted Living Facilty that my grandmother lives at. My grandma, who I call Nanny, is 91 years young! She is fit as a fiddle, healthy as a horse, and the only problem she has is her memory. She has dementia, but is enjoying life. She lives in the moment and we are so blessed to have her still with us! Last year at the luau, my Mom, Nanny and I all wore the same shirt- we were a hit! This year, we did the same. BUT, it was not the same shirt we had last year. I tried my shirt on for my mom Saturday morning, at it WAS HUGE!!!! :) The diet is going incredibly well....So it was off to Kohl's to get new ones! :) The owners of the facility hire this entertainer who is like the Hawaiian Elvis. He works for Norwegian cruise lines and does the entertaining at different Senior Living Complexes. He is really awesome and we had a blast. It was like we (my mom & I -and My dad-that's him in the black hat and sunglasses) were the entertainment! I have never danced and had so much fun in my life. Enjoy the pictures!!!

The triplets return to the Luau

And it ended with a trip to Baskin Robbin's and Butter Pecan! :)

Brewers Tailgate

A few weeks ago, I posted that I was invited to our company's Brewers Tailgate. The game/tailgate was today. What a beautiful day we had. There was a threat of thunderstorms, but they did not happen until everyone was inside the stadium! And when it was over, all was done! What a great time we had!

The Setup

No, the Skipper was not there with him! :)


Yes, it was a BREWERS tailgate, not a PACKERS....

They SWEAR they didn't plan the on wearing the exact same shirt.... Yeah, right, I don't believe them either!
