Cornhole Tourney!

If you've never played the fun game of Cornhole..you should!  It's quite fun and corn-y ;)

This weekend Ridgecrest had it's first Cornhole Tournament to raise money for "Stop Hunger Now" (an organization that makes packaged dry foods for kids/families in need).

It went over well for never having happened before..great turnout!

Cornhole boards lined up and ready for the action!

Some of the players waitin' their turns..haha..look at Al's face!

And everyone getting their game(s) on!  The guy in the blue on the right (along with his partner) won the tournament and the sweet prize that went with it.

It was a fun time.  Schedule YOUR cornhole game today! (Do I sound like a tv advertisement yet? :)

Friday "Foto" Funny--Armpits Anyone?

So this year I want to work on being better at posting "Friday Foto Funnies."  I like the idea of funny "fotos."

Here's a pretty funny one, I think!

I caught a little nap action going on.  Take a look at that perfected napping style--arm behind head, closed eyes, and pursed lips.  Precious ;)

Birthday Dinner with the Muffin Man

We celebrated our "Muffin man's" birthday (ok, that's Nathan, Jason's bro-in-law and my whatever-he-is :) tonight.  He had a birthday yesterday and we joined Marianne and Nathan for a dinner tonight at Piazza Italia, a sweet restaurant in Brightleaf Square (check it out, I had the fettucini gorgonzola--yum!).

Here's the birthday boy himself--with his better half (my sis-in-law!)

After a great dinner we headed to M and N's house for some ice cream cake (did I mention she made it? delish!) And it was colorful.  I am a big fan of color!

It was a fun night!  Happy Birthday, Nate! (oh, and he has been labeled "Muffin Man" for this post because he really likes muffins :)

Dinner Date with Grandpa E

Tonight Jas and I took our adopted "Grandpa" Elton out to dinner.  I know you guys are wondering WHERE we took our awesome 91 year old friend.  Drum roll..please...duh, duh, duh, duh...C&H Cafeteria!  And yes, I am one of those "youngins" who really likes C&H.  Jas just likes it alright.  I, on the other hand, happily would go there often (call me strange, I'm ok with it ;)

He's a way cool guy and we're pretty sure he knows EVERYONE in Durham.  After all, he's lived here 91 years!  That's crazy...crazy cool.

Here's a picture we captured with him post-C&H deliciousness:

I think the flash kind of caught him off guard.  He's da bomb!

So what do you guys think about C&H?  Do I have any other fellow old school restaurant fans out there?  I know I'm weird..but hey, it's really hard to beat those amazing fried zucchinis!

Have your cake and eat it too!?

So it's a well known tradition that you're supposed to eat your wedding cake on your one year anniversary.  Follow me for a second... Let me set the stage.

Jason:  filing papers away for the new year
Me:  cleaning out some old papers/cards

Randomly..and out of the blue...

Me: We forgot to eat our cake on our anniversary!
Jason:  Let's eat it!!

Well, better late than never, right?  Haha.  One of those things we'll look back on and remember, I guess :)
