And The Winner Is . . . . . .

This year I was pretty psyched about the winner of Idol. Kris is so talented, adorable and just seems like a super nice kid! Sooooo happy for him!



I did not jump on the Adam Lambert bandwagon. I think this kid is super talented and he will no doubt have an amazing career. I don't care if he's gay, straight or swings both ways. I don't care if he wears more eyeliner than most girls I know. I don't care if he's different. I embrace different, I grew up around theatre people and did quite a bit of performing myself way back in the day. My problem all along with Adam Lambert is that he's been a PROFESSIONAL ACTOR on BROADWAY in WICKED. Sort of defeats the whole purpose of Idol, discovering an UNKNOWN talent. I also thought that it was extremely unprofessional of Simon Cowell & Co. to practically crown him the winner from the get-go. I now have faith in the American Idol System again, and the most awesome unknown singer won the competition. Congrats, Kris! Looking forward to hearing more beautiful tunes from you!

Sorry to report that I have ZERO photos from our Brimfield booth! Still getting used to my camera and accidentally deleted EVERYTHING! We are doing another show in Washington DC the weekend of June 6 & 7 and I will try hard to be more careful with the DELETE button!

This holiday weekend DH and I have a date with yardwork.



Our lilacs are just beautiful this year, and the crabapple tree is in full bloom . . . . . . everytime a breeze blows by we get a sweet whiff of both ~ yum!



I will, however, not be going near the poison ivy. It's been A MONTH and I swear I'm still itchy and it looks like I've got some big honkin' hickeys on my neck! My kids are all off to parts unknown with their friends, so it will be a quiet house, just us semi-empty nesters and the hounds. Rachel is meeting up with some of her college friends and then heading to Boston to spend the weekend with Bex, who gave her sister tickets to the Red Sox/Mets game for her birthday, for Saturday Night . . . . woohoo! They're sitting in the bleachers with all the rowdies, so if you see two adorable girls that look like sisters, and they're even slightly out-of-control, don't tell me. I'm NOT on a need to know basis with these things any more!




Have a wonderful weekend!
Hug a veteran or service person, and remember those who have served for all of us, so that we can live in freedom.
