amazing apple

Another testament of how incredible Apple products are. This morning I realize the pants I want to wear are in the dryer so I head into the laundry room, open the dryer door, and sitting right there on the lint trap, waiting for me, is our Apple TV remote. It's super small, sleek, sexy design made it hard to notice it was in my pants pocket when I threw it in the laundry. "Oh man!", I yell out loud. Curt runs to the rescue and hears the sad story of the remote. He very casually says, "Well, at least test it before you throw it away." I think, "What silly optimism" but agree to give it a try. I head into our bedroom and push the buttons fully expecting nothing to happen, but to my amazement it works. Wow. It went through the washer AND dryer, yet nothing can keep it down. To all you Apple fans out there this is just another story to enforce your belief system that everything Apple is superior. To all you PC fans; switch to Apple.

catchy

Frito Lay has been putting out some great commercials lately. This one is my favorite; great animation, catchy tune. The music in this commercial is from a band called Rabbit and all their stuff is great, check 'em out.

yummy lilac

These beautiful and wonderfully smelling lilacs are from one of the bushes in our backyard. The whole patio smells like yummy lilac, it even drifts into our bedroom. I love spring!

graduation extravaganza weekend

Congratulations to Paul & Alison for graduating from higher education! In honor of the event Curt & I planned quite the festivities. Paul & Alison were asked to fill out an online order from for their dinner on friday at Bert's Cafe and Lounge. Check it out.  http://curtisarmstrong.net/bert/menu.html
Bert, of course, is short for Curtis-Bo-Bertis. Once Paul & Alison arrived we headed to Bert's Cafe (aka the back yard). We did a bit of lounging around...


Had a pretty intense game of croquet while our Bert Burgers were cooking...

Enjoyed Bert's delicious food...

Bert & Paul did a little photo shoot...


Then we watched a movie at Bert's Drive-In...
It was a fantastic night! A bit on the chilly side, but that certainly didn't dampen our spirits. On saturday, the Chic Cruiser Club had it's 1st official meeting of the season. Here, you see our pit crew readying Honey and Bluesy.

Honey and Bluesy are ready to go...
Alison and Meg are ready too...
And off we go...


It was a fabulous graduation party! Thanks Paul & Alison for coming to the funtivities and a big big thanks to Bert's Cafe and Louge, Bert's Drive-In, and Bert's Bed & Breakfast.

In honor of Barbara going to Disneyland, Alison and I decided to live vicariously through her and have Disney Day at work. The funtivities consisted of magical Mickey decorations, yummy food, and Disney Trivia. Here's Barbara, sporting some ears, and Nan.
