| you say banana |
Mutant Banana - Guess what I found? A frightening banana, that didn't look right to anyone. Two for the price of one? Not sure its a prize worth winning.

| Beautiful Lake Tahoe |
Lake Tahoe - Ok, so really I had to go to Reno for the national ABPA conference. Being president sure does have some glamorous benefits. Lucky for me I came into some $$ not of my own and after following my non-social friend Danny around the slot machines for a while, I spent 12 hours sitting at a blackjack table. I won a lot, it was a great time, I tipped even more and walked away with.....enough for breakfast.

| Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine |
To recover my grumpy little friend drove me to Lake Tahoe, I woke up 3 times. Once to take this picture. The second time to eat lunch and take a picture of the amazing dancing bear, and a third time to briefly mention how neat the trees were. Best 3 or 4 hour road trip I've ever been on.
Thirty Something - It's true, I'm officially well into my thirties, there's no turning back now. The best part of my birthday was Abbi's last day of First Grade. She's great.
Public Works Week - This is the part of May you were waiting to read about. We finally celebrated Public Works week in style this year. All of our groups worked together to put on a 'field' day for one of our local elementary schools. It was a lot of fun.

June (sponsored by....)
Conan in Chicago- You may be getting the false impression that I travel a lot. This may have been my third trip this year, but! I can assure you I am completely out of money, and retirement. My suggestion, although Conan is wonderful, if you're going to blow it all go big or go home. We had a great time in Chicago, one of our favorite places to visit, we shopped, saw some baseball (Finally!!!), walked a thousand miles, went to a couple comedy shows, and ate delicious Chicago food.
 |
| We made it to the show! It was a lot of fun. Did you know Conan plays the guitar and sings like Elvis? I do. |
 |
| MMmmmmm, Giordano's deep dish. |
 |
We didn't eat here. Snarf? really? sick.
|
 |
| The Cubs game, even Wendy was happy to be there. |
 |
| Beautiful day at Wrigley's. |
 |
| And a hydrant of course!! |
Sunday School BBQ - The perfect end to a great month. Had a bbq with the sunday school class I teach, they're freaking awesome.
Ok I wasn't planning on it, but there's going to have to be a part IV, just too much goodness to pass up on.
