We have not been very frugal!!! But it's vacation.... We've been doing good on the eating in part (or having parents pay for dinner.... or friend's parents...) And we haven't spent any money on trinkets to take back with us... since I lived here for many years I really don't feel the need for a trinket.

But we have been hitting the bars... and when you're buying drinks for other people too... it adds up.... But it's vacation!!!!

We went to the Street sale downtown with a couple of friends from highschool (and one of their mom's), and then we hit the fair that night... walking around and seeing some people we haven't seen in quite awhile. There were some of the same carnies there as when I was a kid.... Hmmmm....

We went Jeep riding and garage saleing with my Dad... Spyros did pick up two old coins and I got an organic book on keeping pests out of the garden.

DH has been taking a lot of pictures, and we've been able to view them on the TV and download them onto CDs with a new device he recently bought. We stopped at the camera store before we left to get him a zoom lens, but the one that he wanted had recently been sold... so we asked the owner to order us one, and it will be in when we get back.
It would have been nice to have it on vacation, but he's still getting some beautiful shots.

Last night was the first part of our reunion... Spyros had never heard of a two or three day reunion, but that's how we've always done it here. We went to a bar with the two friends we had hung out with before, to meet up with whomever else decided to join the first part.

It was pleasant seeing everyone, catching up on gossip, etc... But too much touching for me!!! Hugs all around, when I never hugged these people before.... DH fit in very well, talking with everyone....
Tonight should be interesting when the music starts and he wants to dance.... it will probably be all the women and him out there.... while me and a couple of my friends sit at the table drinking and making naughty comments : - )

Well I must go now since we're going up town to see if they have any Jones Soda... this soda company has people send in pictures which get voted on and then used as their soda labels... DH submitted a photo so it would be cool if it got on a bottle.

Then we need to get some food for a cookout and pre-party.... then take a nap before we go over there.... You know you're getting old when you need a nap to stay out until 2am or so....
