Tube: Chucks Wicks

I had some time to make some tubes today, something I don't get as much time for as I used to. Here's my newest collection of country music tubes, starting with Chuck Wicks.

Some Thanksgiving Photos

Here are a couple photos of my beautiful family when they came up to visit in Big Bear last month for Thanksgiving. It was the first real snow experience for the little ones.

This is Gavin being a dare devil. He had a great time going down the hill!

Here is my niece Beth with her husband Brandon and their baby Rylee. This was Rylee's very first trip to the mountains and, all in all, she handled it pretty well for a newbie.

La Seda Christmas Party!

Last week we celebrated the annual La Seda Christmas party. This year it was at Alex's house (what a cute house it was!). It was fun to get away from work and visit with coworkers as friends and not as harried collegues. The taco man had fresh carne asada, pork, and chicken tacos for us--and there was some really tasty salsa (Yum-Yum!)

As with any decent Christmas party, there was a bit of drinking, too. Thanks, Margie, for bringing the tequila! That was fun! Here are a couple photos from the evening.

Sleepless Nights & Infomercials

Either I need something for insomnia, or informercials are getting a lot more convincing than they used to be (probably both). For some godforsaken reason, I was still awake at 3:15 AM last night and found myself fascinated by the "Cricut Expressions" craft machine. So fascinated, in fact, that I called and bought the dang thing. What was I thinking???

I am so not a crafty person, yet for some reason, the commerical convinced me that I CAN BE a crafty person. Lol. We'll see. Heck, I have never even scrapbooked a page beyond a little something I did for a coworker who retired about 5 years ago.

I have a feeling I am about to spend a lot of money on something I won't have time for. LOL. Oh well. I can always take it to work and use it in the classroom, I suppose.

Chris Cagle at Buck Owens' Crystal Palace

This past weekend, I drove 2 hours north and headed to Bakersfield to see Chris Cagle in concert at Buck Owens' Crystal Palace. It was a GREAT show (and do I dare admit--((gulp))--my 36th time seeing him in concert?) Over the years I have seen the highs and lows of Cagle come and go, and I am pleased to say that this was defitinitely a high. The show was terrific--filled with lots of humor on Cagle's part. He joked with the crowd, did goofy little dances, acknowledged a heck of a lot of people who wanted to be acknowledged, (yeah, me too!) and smiled through the whole show. Loved that! I had a feeling it would be a great show. Right now Chris is riding into town on the back of a long-needed hit, "What Kind of Gone", and performed in a venue where he had a history of putting on a damn good show seven years ago.

So, here are some of my photos from the show...if you know Chris, then you know it's a rare occasion that he doesn't have on that black t-shirt...so stop by the photo album and take a look. He looked great--and sounded even better.

Follow the link below or on the margin at the right to check out the rest of the photos--and leave a comment or two--it's always fun to see what fans have to say about this photo or that one.

Halloween Tubes Set 2

Brrr...finally I am starting to feel a change in the weather. After the 100+ degrees earlier in the week, the 44 degrees outside right now feels chilly and refreshing. I am so looking forward to fall.

Well, here is set 2 of my Halloween tubes. I hope you can give them a great new home (and lots of use).

Tubed by Cyndi-Lu for "Lu’s Tags & Moose Mountain Stats" http://moosemountainstop.blogspot.com/
