Pull Up a Chair

Belle learned how to sit in her rocking chair tonight, all by her self. She first climbs in it forward and then twists around and finally shoots her legs out. It is so cute and we give her a big applause when she does it.

She can now sit in her rightful place, the princess chair.

She also loves playing in her room. There are new toys up there, or at least she's forgotten about them, and just has a good ole time.

Purple Haze Over Columbus


There is nothing more tantalizing than a free concert for budget minded parents. So, Saturday night, Robin and Eddie flocked to Mill Run amphitheater, the location of the concert, like hippies to Woodstock.

Teynor, who recommended the event, was noticeably absent, although I repeatedly scanned the crowd for a Dilbert wearing an Indians hat. He was not to be found. Mike and Jody joined us on the lawn at the festive event. It was a relaxing atmosphere with everyone camped out in lawn chairs and blankets sporadically about. No big crowds here despite the afore mentioned "free" part.

We settled in and Frank started playing at 7:00pm sharp. My favorites were his usual covers of "Pride and Joy" and "Purple Haze". I kept waiting to hear "Texas Flood" and "Cold Shot"....and I'm still waiting. Mike and Jody left around 8:30 pm, I think Mike forgot to take his Geritol or that Mork and Mindy marathon was starting on TV Land.

Frank can still rip that guitar, and "rock the blues", as he puts it. No, there was no encore, but we went home satisfied as we haven't seen Frank play in a very long time. With the summer festival season starting to crank up, I'm sure we'll be partaking in other concerts and festivals in the area. (thanks for the tip Teynor).
