1,500 plus CPDRC inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, Cebu, Philippines at practice! This is not the final routine, and definitely not a punishment! just a teaser.

O.k. so I fell for the ad and I went and ordered a topsy-turvey tomato planter.  Well, the tomatoes went in two days ago and so far so good.  I will keep you up to date on how the whole contraption works. 

It was easy to do, it’s just that I didn’t realize how heavy they would be once they were filled with dirt, plants and water.  WOW.

I know have a three pronged shepherd’s hook with two hooks holding tomato plants and one holding two large wound up hoses.  I need the hoses for balance.  It is white trash at its finest.

Ready or not, let’s garden

This is one of those days where I really don’t have anything to write about.  I’m always trying to find something interesting to blog about , but sometimes I just come up dry.  I lead a pretty normal life and I don’t really do anything super exciting.  It’s go to work, go home, walk the dogs, watch some DVR’d stuff and make dinner. Oh wait, very exciting, last night I had a MGD 64 calorie beer.  It was right after I took an hour bike ride to try and reduce the size of my behind. Right now it’s the same size, but really how much can one bike ride accomplish.

Summerfest is here soon.  I will be taking my daughter to see Bon Jovi. I mean why not It’s my life right.  There are a few more acts on different stages that I want to see, but we’ll see how many days I can get down there.

State Fair is coming up.  Bring on the chocolate covered bacon.  Every year they find something to put on stick and I am sooooo glad that this year it’s chocolate covered bacon. GENIUS

This weekend is the Blues Festival in Elkhart Lake.  If you need a little getaway that is not that far you should try it.  It is really a beautiful little place to go. There is a lake, music, tiki bars and great restaurants.   If you do make the time, let me know. I’d love to hear what you think.

Other than that, it’s time to start thinking about what the heck to make for dinner.  Ahhhh the good life.

I want to thank the people of Southeastern Wisconsin for their extreme generosity. I am always blown away by the way people rally to help those less fortunate and even though times may be tough, they find it in their hearts to step it up.
It is so easy to become cynical and wary, but it takes special people to get past that and understand when people need help.
I was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support during the Miracle Marathon and I am again overwhelmed by the outpouring of support for the TY M.P.D day happening this weekend.
I want to congratulate you on being decent hardworking people. You are the ones that make it easy to get up each day and face what sometimes can be tough. I know that all of you have cares and concerns of your own, but you get it.
I may not know all of you by name, but I am richer for knowing that you are there.
Thank you
