Stacy Doing the Cha Cha with some CousCous

Just for the record, there was cha-cha sounding music in the background.

 

A Crop Circle

We finally got around the raking the leaves and found this perfect circle in the leaves. We pondered it for a few moments until we poked around in the grass and realized there was a sprinker heat right there. The mystery solved.

 

Run Away! Run Away! 

First Annual Poker Reunion

I can't remember who came up with the idea, but we decided to get together over Memorial Day weekend in 2003 to enjoy an all guys - all the time weekend. Did we ever. Complete with tipsy go-cart racing (can you hold my beer, son?), cold Colt 45 at each airport pickup, golf, beer, bad-for-you-foods, GGW Snoop Dogg Style, burping, farting, trash talk... it was fun. I can't say much more without violating an oath of some sort, so I'll end here.

Don't Let the Smooth Taste Fool Ya 

A Few Golfers and a Few Hacks

Can you guess who the hacks are?

 

The Grill Meister

Well, if you can call that a grill.

 

The College/Poker Gang 

Pizza, Beer, and a Smoke - All at the Same Time

Bryan is quite a talented man.

 

Terry and his Jar of Olives

A healthy snack anyone? Next thing you know he'll be eating mayo out of the jar.

 

The Next Morning... Not Too Much Damage 

Bryan with the Plunger - A Common Sight

Patrick's toilet apparently hadn't been broken in that well, so the team managed to do it for him. Needless to say, the plunger saw some action that weekend.

 

Easter Braves Game

We went to a Braves game with Patrick, Shannon and Kim on or around Easter (I can't remember). I'm in a strange mood so I just created some dialogue for these pictures.

What are you getting to eat? 

I don't know... what are you getting? 

Darn it, when is this game going to start? 

Very Mature. 

Oh No You Didn't!

Mary Miltner 91st Birthday

We traveled to Lake Charles, Louisiana this April to celebrate Grandma Miltner's 91st birthday on the 11th. We enjoyed a great long weekend of seafood, seafood and more seafood. There's a restaurant near the lake called Steamboat Bills that serves up gut-busting portions of southern seafood without much fanfare. For instance, you can order 10 lbs of crawfish that come steamed in a big bag that you pour into a plastic TV tray and eat. Anyway, there's a dearth of really good restaurants in LC, so we ended up just going to Bills again and again. We also discovered Lebonese Butter Cookies at a small nick-nack shop. Ohhhhhhh. If you can get your hands on some of these, you're in for a real treat. We bought several packages to bring home but they didn't last a day. Grandma is doing great and having fun.

Swamp Park

There's a state park in the swamp SW of Lake Charles that includes a boardwalk and several observation posts. We try to go there everytime we're down as it's so unique and peaceful.

I See An Alligator

This is my stupid impression of a pointer pointing at an alligator. They never move while you're there, so you have to look pretty carefully to see them in the grass.
