I'm Back??

Cleaned Up

 One of Derrick's former teammates got hitched a few weeks ago.  The ceremony lasted no more than 18 minutes at a gorgeous methodist church and the reception was  at the train station downtown Little Rock.  The food was more than incredible and this was the grooms cake! Now that I look at it...I wonder what the white was supposed to be...

Beer Frisbee-Polish Horseshoes

On memorial day I was introduced to a game that must be tried by at least one of you back home. Please!!  (Unless you have already heard of it). You simply use a frisbee to try and knock the pole or bottle off.  You can catch the bottle to save the day and you must catch the frisbee EACH time as well.  We had a good crowd and good music which made it hard to call it a night.  An SUV was eventually brought into the backyard in order to use the headlights to keep the game going. The average Joe plays with beer but I was sipping Beefeaters in honor of Grandpa Moore :) It didn't work out so well. 

p.s. still in love with this new camera lense.

Pesto-tortellini made in 8 minutes max.  With a good bottle of wine and a steady golf crowd, it is hard to get me off of my balcony right after work.  Somehow I still manage to get in my nightly run.

Bringing back old traditions with vanilla ice cream and Nesquik.  Only this time I don't fill a large bowl to the brim while eating from the gallon bucket-I will keep that for the younger years of speedy metabolisms. I try to keep it to a coffee mug.  It's all about moderation.

This was taken off of my balcony with my "mega" lens this week.  I had to zoom in to avoid the roofs of the apartments.  Sunset chasing might become my new hobby. I can't call it hobby yet as I have been too late to the scene EVERY time.  

The roofs sneaked in this one....but the color is more of what I was after. 

A bulb is not just a bulb

I have 4+ bulbs burnt out at my place and before I start navigating around with candles I figured I should take a more proactive approach. Have I been saving on my electric bill?  Hmm might have to re-think this.  Anyways, I will be returning light bulbs as clearly I failed on this episode of Tool time.  (Home Improvement) 

Hometown Hero Event

Wednesday we spend half of the day at the Ford Theatre downtown Conway for an HP wide volunteer event.  We started off with a cajun crawfish boil.  I figured I would be safe with corn and potatoes....little did I know these were cooked in cajun spices as well.  My lips might have left the building and I may or may not have been trying to hide back tears.  The crawfish "mud bugs" were a different story. These people eat them like M and M's down here.  

The hot dog was good and margarita mix was good.

The rest of the afternoon we broke out into teams and assembled a total of 50 bikes that are going to be given to Soaring Wings Ranch here in Conway as well as to families with members in the military.  Soaring Wings Ranch is a place where kids with no families, or broken homes, get a chance at having a safe place to live and grow up. It is a Christian based environment and a lot of HP people donate their time and money there.

Go-to lunch

For those of you who haven't tried the almighty black bean, avocado, and can of rotel. You MUST!  Place a cup of it on top of a spicy ranch salad, crunch up a few Doritos, and you have a make shift taco salad to die for!
