Photo Flashback Thursday

Once a week I like to take a little bit of time out and look through some of the pictures that I have either taken, scanned or stolen off of the internet through the years and find one special picture that stands out. Little lost moments in time from yesterday caught with a Cameras lens and relived right here in my blog. Sometimes it's pretty easy to find that one special picture and sometimes it's not that easy, one thing it consistently is however is a whole lot of fun.

This weeks pic goes back a few years, it does back to the start of Summer in 2013. That was the yeart Michelle and I took our travel gnome everywhere, and the Kenny Chesney Concert at Heinz Field was no exception.

This was from our tailgate at the concert, we usually park at Station Square and ride the clipper over to the Stadium if we are doing anything on the North Shore that has a large attendance associated with it (some concerts, Steeler games, Pirate games, etc.) Riding on the Gateway Clipper is always a treat and one of the best ways to enter either of the Stadium areas.

Have yourselves a great day.

Wednesday

Well once again that is two days down, now and all we have to do is get up and over this noon time hump and it will be all downhill as we work towards another fun filled weekend.

Sammy found himself a friend this morning, I saw him sitting and talking to our traveling Steelers gnome, the gnome was probably telling him about snorkeling in the Caribbean and how he was on the beach this year but was stuck in his bag and didn't get into the water.

Oh what is new what is new. Pretty much nothing, it's the middle of an uneventful workweek and we're just chugging along day by day. Sammy is the only one in the household that is having fun, well other than Peanut, May and Gracie, but they always seem to have fun. Animals are all pretty easily amused, well 75% of the ones that live with us, Sophie is just an old cranky cat who is very particular how she likes things. I guess we all get like that when we get up there in age.

Have yourselves a great day today, live it to the fullest and fill it with memories for others.

Big Ole Hairy Friday

National Mall,  Washington DC

Yes it is once again that time of the week that we all look foreword to, when we can take time to cease the labors for the week and take a little bit of needed time out to enjoy the fruits of those labors. It is once again the dawn of another weekend, and a Big Ole Hairy Friday. For us, we're already off and we are in Washington DC today.

We're taking an extended weekend, we drove down to Gaithersburg Maryland last night and are planning on spending today at the National Mall in Washington DC. The Cherry Blossom Festival is our main agenda for the day, but we'll be hitting the Smithsonian and a few sights around town before heading back to the hotel this evening.

We have our gnome with us today and we'll be taking a few pictures using it as a prop at a few places around DC. I'm kind of hoping Barrack will come out and pose with our gnome, but he's probably going to be a little bit busy. =)

Have a great day, we will.

The Gnome Project: Superbowl Sunday at Home

Meet "Sammy the Steeler Gnome". Sammy is our gnome that has been known to sit on our mantle in the living room, but he has a tenancy to roam around a little bit. Sammy tells me that he is going to travel around this year and will have his picture taken in a few different places this year.

Yesterday however Sammy was stuck in a snow storm in my back yard to proclaim his feelings about this years Super Bowl. What choices does he have, does he want the San Francisco 49ers to get their Pittsburgh Steeler record tying sixth Super Bowl trophy or does he want the arch rival Baltimore Ravens and Ray Lewis to get a Super Bowl Championship. Throw in the snowstorm (Sammy hates snow too) and yesterday just was not Sammy's day.

Sammy has told me he wants to see the world this year and would like to travel with me and Michelle wherever we go. I've added the Gnome and Sammy labels to my blog, just click either one of them whenever you see me Sammy and see where he is and has been.

 Hope your day is better than Sammy's.
