Root Beer Reviews on the Road

Frostop
Duluth, MN

Dale: Smooth with a presence but had a light quality about it. It’s a summer root beer, not a winter. Leaves a light palate with just a hint of after taste.

Rebecca: Strong essential root beer-ness. It starts bold but finishes smooth.

Combined score: 7.5/10

Chase’s Wedding Party

Rebecca — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 14:46:57 +0000

One of the reasons we stayed in Flint for so long over the holidays was that Chase got married and had a party on the first weekend of the year. I was actually very sick for most of the week but had perked up for New Year’s!

Dale took a few photos with some of his oldest and dearest friends and I just wanted to make sure we shared them here (for posterity, I guess).

When I met Dale (way back in 1995) he was roommates with Chris (on the right) and Chase (on the left) was a frequent visitor. And here they are with Chris’s son!

Old Friends! Chris, Dale, Chase and Greg.
You know Greg, right? Everybody knows Greg Flowers.

The Whole Gang!

Being silly.

Christmas Kitties

Bela is not amused with his reindeer cap!

"I hate you for doing this to me."

"Seriously? Another photo?"

Surly Santa.

Drunken Sailor Santa

Deer Sidney

So, yeah, I took a few photos of the kitties with their Christmas costumes on. And they really liked, it obviously. I took these back on December 5 so Sidney was under the weather but still kicking. I didn’t bother him too much–and he was always the best sport when it comes to my ridiculous antics.

Blackout

We were without power for a few days due to the storms. It sucked. And we are still behind on blogging. Thumbs down!

Rangers Visit!

Rebecca — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 00:23:07 +0000

Just before we left on vacation the Ranger family came to visit! They stayed with Rebecca & Pat. I hung out with them quite a bit and it was a lovely visit! We all went to the zoo.

I think Margaux really enjoyed having company…here is she on the carousel at the zoo.

This is Maggie enjoying the butterfly house–I must say that kids move quick. I barely got any in-focus shots of them!

And here’s little Max taking in the carousel action.

We saw lots of animals–my favorite was the pooping tiger! Hee!

We were all exhausted from the heat and excitement, none more than Maggie!

We also got to go out to dinner and took the kids to an indoor play park. Us ladies had a little gal pal bonding time, too. Great to see everybody, as always.

My new career

Rebecca — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 00:55:36 +0000

I got a lot to catch up on, yo. We just got back from vacation–don’t have the pictures sorted yet! But in anticipation of that, I’d like to update a few random things.

Like this one day in May–right after school ended–I felt my new career calling would be in creating elaborate garnishes (don’t ask).

So these were my first (and only) attempts at fancy apple birds. I might pull this skill out for a party in the future. Apple bird party seems like a good theme, right?

Wayne & Family Visit

Rebecca — Mon, 24 May 2010 02:10:14 +0000

Dale’s family came for the weekend just a couple of weeks ago! However, we didn’t take a bunch of pictures. Dale’s mom and grandma were here, along with Dale’s brother Wayne and his family.

Wayne and Lisa looking cutsie.

And the whole family. On the Sunday morning before they left we took the kids to the park around the corner from our house to hit a few balls. They were really good! It was a really nice visit. We also went to Adler Planetarium.
