July Fun & Late Summer Fun

Well, apologies for the long delay between postings, but we have been busy! Fai was home visiting from her Peace Corps adventures in Mali. We have been diligently working away at the house removing the front porch and getting it rebuilt among other things. Fourth of July was way cool. We went up to the cabin and had two sets of guests (Auntie Marilynn, David B, Olivia and Amelia) and then my dad, Tien, Fai, Aunt Lily and Eddie. Sheesh ... It was busy, but fun! Beautiful weather, good company ... you really can't beat that. I posted pictures on my Photobucket site here. I hope you enjoy them!

The kids are still spending their Summer vacation with me which has been interesting to say the least! The Art in the Park where Anita infamously performed for a crowd in 2005 happened in July as well. See below:


The kids decided to make money and use our driveway / front lawn as a make-shift parking lot on Friday and Saturday during Art in the Park. They made $ 25.00 USD altogether for two days worth of work. Not too bad! :O)

Tony Bennett Live @ The Detroit Opera House (06.15.2007)

MJM and Yummers went to see Tony Bennett perform live at the Detroit Opera House on Friday. I had to study for an exam, so I did not go, and Yummers went in my place. From the pictures and video that MJM took, it looked like it was a fun show.

They were back by 9.45 PM! Minnie and I went to see Music in the Park and had a blast! We stayed there until about 9.30 ourselves.

In any case, enjoy the pictures and video!

We had Row H tickets on the main floor. Here is Yummers in her seat!


The great Tony Bennett himself.


A cool arty farty picture of Mr. Bennett.


A song clip for your enjoyment!
