Free Ice Cream!

Today was Ben and Jerry's annual free ice cream cone day, which benefits Habitat for Humanity.  Of course, I went to Friendly Center with a friend to try one of their new flavors.  We weren't the only ones with this idea.  In fact, there were bands and at least two children's groups there to entertain the hundreds of people who came out today.   It was a beautiful day and everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time.

This is one of the children's groups, the Jazzy Jumpers.  They jumped rope to music, and performed quite a few tricks for the audience.  We were all very impressed with how talented they were.

A Relaxing Evening at Home

My husband and I love a good campfire, especially when we have a good bottle of wine with which to enjoy it.  In fact, when we first bought our house, we bought a patio set with a fire pit in the middle of the table so that we could sit in front of the fire together whenever we liked.  We took advantage of the break in the rain over the weekend to sit outside and savor a quiet night at home.  

Jayhawks are national champions!

For those of you who don't know this about me, I am a Jayhawk.  That's right, I went to the University of Kansas, where basketball is a religion.  And last night, for the first time in twenty years, we won the national championship.  I was watching the game downtown with a group of friends, and that last three-pointer that put us into overtime was a beautiful sight.  I'm sure Lawrence was an amazing place to be last night, and I'm sorry I missed it.  But not to worry, we celebrated as best we could here in Greensboro, North Carolina.

I'd just like to say to Jayhawks everywhere, ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK, KU!
