Reds win on my birthday!!

REDS beat the GIANTS 9-3 on my birthday, a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Great American Ballpark. It was a typical hot August day, perfect for baseball. Sisters, my Mother and Auntie Jan, smile together for a picture. Becky brought the twins and they had a blast, getting plenty of attention from everyone, Gretchen and Dan too! Holly and I brought her son, Guy along to enjoy the rare win by the Reds. Parking was also scarce as Riverfest was beginning to get started and Moeller was playing at Paul Brown Stadium. What a memorable day, I turned 37 and enjoyed it!! Thanks Mom for the tickets!

Veterans Bike Show

The Veterans Bike Show was this weekend and Hollys dad had Jims Custom Cycles booth at the show located at the Clermont County Fair Grounds. In the first pic is his trailer and booth where he was hanging with potential customers and the second pic is his shovelhead. Double Don is a legend in the local motorcycle short track, with Fink Racing behind the bars. From legend, that bike can flat out get it!! I just had to stick in this last picture of Holly in a dress, an extremely rare sight. Holly's grandfather passed away recently and she wore this dress to honor his burial. Finishing the paint on the outside of the house is the goal for the next couple of weeks. The house is going to look great when we're finished and it's already taken shape. Until the next time...

Dock Diving Dogs

Cleo went dock diving this week at East Fork Lake. Alex came along to watch Cleo while Holly held him. Mom was good at keeping Cleo back from jumping into the water too soon. Dad just had his birthday, happy birthday dad! We rode down on the bike, it was a beautiful day. Afterward we checked out the Matt Maupin Pavilion at the beach, then headed to the VFW and home. Keepin on keepin on...

Kid Rock 08

Kid Rock played at Riverbend last night. I guess we like going to these pre-concert parties and skip the concert. We met up with nine other bikes, then rode down together to the show. Holly and I then turned around and rode to the Lake for a beer before heading home, while all the others went to Lynard/Skynard and Kid Rock. Tickets were still available for $36 on the lawn, but we decided against it. Holly was a little upset we didn't go, but she and I were ok with it. Plus, it was HER idea not to go and save the money :)

Buffet 2008

Buffett 2008 Riverbend! We didn't go to the show, but I've been to over a dozen already so I knew exactly what I was missin'. Holly n I took the bike down for the tailgate party, Brett had his RV as he has for years past. We grilled, had a few drinks and chilled out listening to Buffett songs til dusk. It was a good time. I wanna see the Kid when he comes to town! Anyway, we've been working on the house, just got the first coat on the front,still need to do a second, we ran outta paint so Holly got creative with the side of the house. Our one year anniversary was this week, I got her some dog tags, she got me the American Flag and pole in the bottom picture! OK, til next time.....
