to all my friends here in the States and happy weekend to all my international friends. I hope that everyone gets to enjoy their weekend.
Yesterday was awesome! Thank you to everyone who stopped by or left well wishes on their blogs or over at DST. The digiscrap community is amazing!! 3 different continents and 5 different countries, that is a first for me. I also got email from so many forums, I had forgotten just how many I’ve registered at, lol.
Shannon took me out to eat last night. I’d decided a long time ago where I’d wanted to go. As we were driving there, he asked me if I wouldn’t rather go to Ruth Cris Steakhouse. I don’t know if he was actually serious but I still said no. We went to Old Bag of Nails and had the best basket of fish and chips. I took a picture of it to share with you, but left the USB cord in my computer bag at work last night. The one that we usually go to had burned down and they are in the process of rebuilding it. but we haven’t been to one of the other ones in the area (I think there are 6 total) since the fire. They have the BEST fish and chips. The fish is seriously the size of your forearm. Elbow to finger tip. They changed the menu to all you can eat of it, but seriously, I don’t know how anyone could eat more than 1 basket. Neither of us finished our own, let alone even thought of ordering another one. And in all the years we’ve been going there, I’ve only ordered 1 thing 1 time other than the fish and chips. So if you’re ever in the Columbus Ohio area and looking for awesome fish and chips, Old Bag of Nails is THE place.
My brother called me not even minutes after we got home. He put Em on the line. She’s a talker for sure but gets really excited and goes really fast sometimes. The important part and all I wanted to hear came through loud and clear. “Happy Birthday Aunt Diane”. Next year I look to hear it from Addi too. All in all, it was a terrific day.
Those of you in the Plains and upper Midwest, please stay safe this weekend. Have you seen the footage of that tornado that hit near Denver? Monstrous. I have a cousin who lives near there but I’m assuming that since I haven’t heard otherwise, she and her family are ok. Heather, I saw that it looked particularly nasty overnight near you. Hoping that you and the kids were able to sleep through that. My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone affected by all these nasty natural disasters that seem to be hitting lately.
Did you happen to catch David C on the Tonight show last night? He didn’t sing, but sat and talked with Jay for a little bit. Very well spoken and very down to Earth. I was impressed. I know he’ll do just fine. Can’t wait til he records and releases his CD. I figure it will be around Christmastime. I do know that he and David A will be on the Today show next Thursday singing. FYI
Hope that you all have an awesome weekend. Please stop by and wish Kari a Happy Birthday too. It’s this Sunday but we’re partying all weekend long just for her. (yeah that’s my story and I’m sticking too it) Maybe Dale Jr. will get a win for her birthday and make her and the rest of Jr. Nation happy.
See ya all next week!

Happy Birthday! (If you stop by my blog and read yesterday’s entry, you’ll understand why I’m not late in wishing that - it’s still during your FESTIVAL!)
We’ll be in Columbus in July. I’ll have to make a note for the restaurant!
This was my first stop at your blog, but I’ll be adding you to my reader! Have a great holiday weekend!
