Friday - Angie and I attended Freaky Tiki Friday at the Blue Bottle in Muncie. We had a wonderful dinner (smoked pork, asparagus and wine / chicken, potatoes and mustard greens) and then went outside for the entertainment provided by ‘Doc’s’. Later that evening, we went to the Fickle Peach and hung out with Doug and Denise Meyer. We ended the night at the Herot having a Woodchuck with the Blue Bottle staff.

Saturday - In the morning hours I tweaked the Howell’s DJ Service website and the Adwords campaign I’m running for it. Angie and I went to my youngest son’s T-ball game and brought the kiddos back with us. After a quick stop at Wal-Mart, we came home to decompress. I spent the afternoon out in the barn making frames out of old barn wood. They turned out kinda cool. My oldest son and I went to Dylan Oliphant’s high school graduation party. Back home, we had supper then gathered up popcorn and candy to go to the Winchester Airline Drive-In for “Land of the Lost” and “Night at the Museum 2″.  We got home around 1:30am.

Sunday - After a late morning, we had dinner at my parent’s house. Around 2pm, my son’s and I started walking. My oldest son missed a 10 mile hike with the Boy Scouts and Sunday afternoon provided the opportunity to make it up. 10 miles is a lot! I was hurting by the time we finished. Once the kiddos were returned, Angie and I watched the movie “Blood Diamond”. Good movie, quite long though!

Friday - I went into Winchester and hit Wally World for supplies for the weekend. For date night with Angie, we enjoyed the new Bertolli skillet creation. It’s a bag of goodies for two. We had Chicken Florentine in Alfredo sauce. Very yummy and VERY easy to make. I also made martini’s — hypnotic erotic’s for Angie and I had a mix of grapefruit juice, pineapple juice and lemon juice mixed martini. Juicy! During dinner we watched the horrible last installment of the Indiana Jones franchise, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I now understand the South Park episode. The next movie was ‘The Strangers’ starring Liv Tyler. Um, not bad. I was hoping for a bit more, but the concept was cool. Angie didn’t think so. I think she wanted more gore.

Saturday - Angie and I went into Muncie to shop for new clothes for our upcoming Disney trip. The kiddos met us in Muncie. For lunch, we went to the kiddos favorite place, Taco Bell. Later that afternoon, we loaded up the DJ equipment. Angie and I made our way back into Muncie for the wedding of Megan Stack and Aaron Hoover. We ran the sound for the ceremony in addition to providing the reception entertainment. It all went very well and I think everyone had a great time. Congrats to Aaron and Megan!

Sunday - After church in the morning, we had Sunday dinner down at my parent’s house. We had juicy ham, potatoes, peas, and cheesy cauliflower. Good stuff. Back at home, we played some board games and then went fishing down at the ponds. Once the kiddos were returned, Angie and I took a short bike ride and then had tacos for dinner while watching ‘Bazaar Foods”. Before dark, I helped my dad load soybeans in the planter down at Violet’s.

Friday - Angie and I celebrated her birthday with Mark and Patty Hahn at ‘The Melting Pot’ in Indianapolis. Mark and Patty were celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary which also falls on Angie’s birthday. Wow, I can’t believe we paid that much money to cook our own food! LOL! It was very nice and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. Later on, we headed downtown as the city was preparing for the Indy 500 parade for Saturday. The downtown was alive with motorcycles and tons of people. We ended up at the Hard Rock Cafe for the sole purpose of getting Patty to do a shot of peppermint schnapps.

Saturday - I picked up the kiddos and we enjoyed some Pizza King pizza for lunch. Most of the day was spent farming with my dad. My oldest son helped out too. My daughter washed the car. Angie made her way out towards the evening hours.

Sunday - My daughter, my oldest son and I headed out to the Farmland Conservation Club around 10am to run the concession stand for the Boy Scouts. We sold breakfast food then hot dogs and hamburgers the rest of the time. I listened to the Indy 500 on the radio while we worked. We were done at 3pm and came back home.
