Rachel’s Bridal Shower Extravaganza

Saturday, November 20th, 2010

Clare, Rachel (Bride!), and Phyllis

After many years of searching, my friend Rachel finally met the ONE! SO, I flew to Las Vegas to be with her during her Bridal Shower Weekend Extravaganza. There was very little we *didn’t* do that weekend. We did, however, skip out on the typical drinking activities and trashy strip joints. (more…)

Clare & Dennis in New York City
On our last full day in Florida, we decided to check out Hollywood Studios. It was fun, but I liked the Animal Kingdom better. We went on the Aerosmith ride, checked out little NYC, and enjoyed a ride which was a tour of Hollywood Classics. (more…)

Clare & Dennis enjoying 15th Annual Food & Wine Festival Cafferys & Redas
Dennis & I went to Disneyworld to visit the Caffery family and also to partake in the 15th Annual Food & Wine Festival. The Cafferys were great fun (as always) and wonderful hosts.
Dennis & Clare at 15th Wine & Food Festival Dennis in Japan?  Nope it's Disneyworld!
The first day we went to Epcot Center and walked around the lake. Food samples from around the world were presented and quickly gobbled. My favorite was the Ceviche & Empenada (Spain) and the Polish Cabbage Roll & Potato Dumpling.

We ate and ate and ate. I also managed to drink my fair share of wine while Dennis enjoyed the beer.

A Nice Visit with Aunt Shirley & Uncle Chet
Aunt Shirley & Memorial Flowers
We heard sad news today that Uncle Chet passed away. I’m not sure his age at passing, but he had a long life and was devoted to Aunt Shirley. We had a chance to visit with them about a year ago, and it was really nice. Uncle Chet loved to tell stories, and boy did he have some good ones! He also loved watching movies and he had quite the collection.
