weekly winners: party boat edition


September 21-27, 2008

Over the weekend, we traveled to Lake George, NY to attend my cousin’s wedding. The entire wedding was on a party boat — we were docked for the ceremony and cocktail hour, with a three-hour cruise during the reception.

The family doesn’t get together too often as we don’t live close, so it was great seeing everybody again. Most of my photos were of family (which I won’t be posting here), but I will share some scenes from the boat.

The forecast for the day was terrible — high chance of rain all day. But the rain held off and they were able to have the ceremony outside on the deck of the boat.

This was taken from inside during dinner, and I couldn’t avoid the glare on the glass.
I still like the shot!

Earlier in the week, I took another shot through the car window. It was about the same time of night as last week’s photo — pretty soon it will be dark on my drive home!

September 7-13, 2008

Currently this is hanging on the sliding glass door in our kitchen:

spider warning

‘Tis the season for these guys in the garden:

They sometimes decide to make their webs across our door frames. This guy took residence across the back door for a few days, thus the warning sign:

Since he feeds our “stray” Meadow every morning, my husband unfortunately walked through a web one morning this week. At least the spider was gone!

Now for some non-creepy photos:

(Taken from my cell phone. They were both on my lap.
I had to use the flash so they blinked, but it’s still a cute photo!)

August 31 – September 6, 2008

So I spent the first part of the week in Virginia Beach, but I don’t have much to show for it. We saw the B-52s perform on the beach Sunday night … but we far away and my photos are really bad.

I did get some shots at the Billy Idol show the night before that were slightly less crappy, but that would have been for last week. I had to go to bed after the show and couldn’t edit any more photos. I’ll have to do a follow-up post later with some concert details.

Anyway, the only shot I feel like sharing from the beach is this slutty pirate from “Pirate’s Paradise” mini-golf. We played there last year, too, and had to return for a rematch! (Uh, I lost both. But I was really close this year!)

Here she is. Not exactly a great photo, but it makes me laugh.

It’s obvious that she would struggle with a bra, but I wonder how she tied the knot in her shirt?

The kitties fill out the rest of my “Weekly Winners” slots.

I spent a good chunk of time Saturday on the couch with Jeter, waiting out the “tropical storm.” (Just a lot of rain around here.)

jeter naps

He looks all sweet and cuddly, but it can get a little painful. Sometimes he gets grabby.

Sometimes he gives love bites.

But he usually gets away with it because he’s so cute!

Now, I don’t want to leave out the others … here’s Posey snuggling on the bed:

And Joey trying to reenact last week’s photo:

He likes sitting there.

race time … again!


August 24-30, 2008

This week, I’ve traveled a few hours south to Virginia Beach to run in the Rock and Roll Half Marathon. I’ll either have a great race from all the cross training I’ve done all summer, or it will be terrible because my body is tired from last week! Once again, it’s a Sunday race, so I’ll get to your “Winners” photos later this week.

Anyway, it was another slow photo week, but I did take a few shots at the beach and expo.
