I just got done trying Lakefront IPA at The Nook. It was great. The head looked good. The hop smell and flavor are great. It was a well balanced beer.

I look forward to this being on tap full time at The Nook.

Everyone is having super time, but there is not enough staff tonight. I ended up waiting tables and taking orders.

We are just loving this weather. We have our green on for the day.

Our trip planning is coming along. Today, we saw the price on the airlines tickets jump up and the number of seats go down to two.

So, we booked our Delta Airlines tickets and our onsite rental car. The car rental was cheaper than previous years, but Karen is very good at finding deals and coupons.

And tonight, I arranged travel with Disney’s Magical Express, which is the way to travel from the Orlando airport to Walt Disney World.

The excitement is building for our trip. We even watched Ratatouille, which Katie Beth loved.

Katie Beth had a blast fingerpainting. She didn’t want to wait for me to replace the paper and she didn’t understand that the paper was the surface to be painted. She keep wanting to paint the plates which were acting as her paint palettes.

The painting came to an end after her dirty hands got to her. (She does like her hands too dirty.) I managed to get her clean without getting paint on anything else in the house.

More pictures will me online here www.katiebeth.info/

Karen is researching a new HVAC system for the downstairs, because our unit failed. Thankfully, it is warm outside this week.

Katie Beth is playing with a new Crayola set, which is huge. She received it last night from my parents. They won it during the Silent Auction this past weekend.

The Crayola sets includes paints, PlayDoh, an easel, computer draw system, all kinds of crayons, and much, much more.

Katie Beth wants to be next to her mother while she was "working".

The Holy Family School Silent Auction was great.

I think I heard Michele saying about a winning raffle ticket are before diving into the can. Just kidding.

Michelle and Joel had a great time at the Silent Auction and you can see Michelle’s pictures here: Michelle’s Facebook Photos.

I dropped in to see how things were going at the Silent Auction and to pick up my kegs empty kegs of Fuller’s ESB and Smithwick’s. Lucky me! The keg were not empty so I have a little bit of the kegs contents at the house.
