IMAX at World Golf Village

We had a really busy day and it all started out with a visit to the IMAX theater at World Golf Village.
We watched: Space Station and Fighter Pilot

Space Station is the first cinematic journey to the International Space Station (ISS) - where audiences can experience for themselves life in zero gravity aboard the new station. Transported by the magic of the IMAX® technology, the audience blasts off into space with the astronauts and cosmonauts from Florida's Kennedy Space Center and Russia's Baikonur Cosmodrome to rendezvous with their new home in orbit 220 miles above Earth.


Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag
At Red Flag, the international training exercise for air forces of allied countries, many of the worldÂ?s best pilots meet for the most challenging flying of their careers. Red Flag is the final training for pilots and their aircrews before being sent into actual combat.

Both shows were awesome. The Fighter Pilot was real easy for Rich to relate to since he has worked on the planes for years. It was neat to see his reaction and seriousness to the show. I gathered a new respect for my husbands job. Without him the pilots couldn't do there job. After we left WGV we headed to dinner at our favorite spot, can you guess?????? Yeah, Outback Crab Shack. We ate good and then headed home.

We decided to change outfits a little and head out to downtown to watch Macy Gray and James Brown perform for free. We had such a fun time. It was was just me and Rich since Mianna decided to stay home with Duke. We were a little late getting there and so we only heard part of Macy Gray singing Richie's favorite song she sings.. I try to walk away and I stuble,,,


When James Brown come out the crowd got crazy. I just loved it when he sang I'm a soul man and I Feel Good. I recored a little bit of each song on my camera.

The Raccoon is back

Hey guys, I was just sitting here on my computer when I noticed the raccoon from the corner of my eye. She is back and was looking for food. We put some chips out for her. My camera is dead, so I could only catch a few pics.

6th grade commencement

Today Mianna and her 6th grade class graduated and are now 7th graders. There are 67 6th grades counties and her class ranked 6th in reading and 7th in math. I was so amazed by that statistic. I had such a nice time at the commencement and almost had tears in my eyes at so many moments. The slide show at the end was a surprise for the parents, with a display of baby pictures of each student with todays pictures. I'm so excited for her to be moving on to Jr High and yet sad at the same time. My baby girl is growing up too fast.

Young Girl Found Buried Alive

O.. this is so crazy.

O my, O my

I just finished watching Gray's Anatomy and before that Desperate housewives. All I can say is OMG.....Both shows were so good, I just don't want the season to end.

Star Wars

Rich and I went on a hot date yesterday. Mianna had spent the night at her girlfriends house, since she was having a birthday sleep over. I got to go on a hot date with my hubby. The morning stated out nice with breakfast at a local diner around the corner here in Green Cove. I had a waffle with strawberries and Rich had 3 eggs over easy with toast. After that we headed home to collect all the garbage so that Rich and Duke could take that to the dump while I washed the TL. Once we finish taking care of business we got showered and dress and headed out to buy tickets to see Star Wars. We bough our tickets for the 6:15pm show and since it was only 3pm we had time to go eat dinner and then do some shopping. We decided to eat at Carrabba's since we just love the calamari there. I had grilled salmon with veggies and Rich had steak with mushrooms and some type of gravy sauce with garlic mash potatoes. It was so good as usually and we left with full bellies. We drove over to World Market, since Rich really likes that store and just browsed around. We have 45 bucks to spend there, but for some reason couldn't find what we wanted. We will go back another time and find some thing for the house. I still have a gift certificate to pier 1 as well, and still have to use that one day. I haven't really been in a shopping mood for the house stuff, but I am in the mood to paint. I need to spend some time choosing colors and start painting room by room.
Anyhow we finally watched Star Wars and it was so good. It got me to thinking back when I watched the first one and was only a little kid at the time. I remember having the plastic swords and play fighting with Davina in the darkest spot in the house, that was the bathroom in the old house on Guam. You have all got to go out and see Star Wars. The dialect was so bland, but it's your typical George Lucas screens.

Floodlight

Today the electrician came out to look at the kitchen outlets and also check out the garage light that was not working. He fixed the outlet in the kitchen and then installed my new floodlight for me in the front of the garage. I love the look of the new light and the safety feature will come in real handy when it dark at night. The sensor stretches out 270 degrees and 70 feet out. If cars drive by it will turn on. I love it, so when I get home at midnight, the light will come on for me automatically. Also it will scare away intruders. I will head to home depot to pick up 2 floodlight bulbs and buy a few more motion sensors for the backyard. We have been sleeping with our backlight on everyday. Installing the new lights will help us not have to keep the light on and also keep out any intruders, by scaring them off. We will know if someone of something is moving in our backyard.

Around the house
Rich cut the grass yesterday and it looks so good. We have our yard sprayed every month to keep it healthy and green. The house is so clean today; there isn't much for me to do. I have been relaxing all day, just watching TV and surfing the web. I found a new site to shop on. Body Central check it out, I like item 1101 :0) We might go watch a movie tonight... Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.... maybe. I'll just wait till Rich gets off work and we will meet up with him and decide.

Flat Stanley and the Crab

This morning after I got back from Dukes walk, I found a crab in my garage. Duke was the one who sniffed it out. I decided to help Caleb out with his school project on Flat Stanley and we captured the crab. I have no idea how this thing got in my garage but at least it's not an alligator. LOL. click the title to see a slide show. click Flat Stanley to see the site

Hurricane season

We have started Hurricane season here and they predict it will be the worst year ever. Last year we were hit by 4 hurricanes in a row and I'm so scared for this year. We have so many trees in our backyard and last year one actually fell on the house. We were not living here when it fell but O man it was a big tree and we have many more of that same size in our backyard. I hope it's not too bad this year, but I have a feeling it will be bad. Rich said, that's what we have insurance for. The thing is insurace only starts coverage after our 6000 deductible. Weather has been so wacky all over the world, I think we are having some major global warming. The names for this.... Starting with the first name. Arlene (that is my god-daughters name and her B-day happens to be today.

Conrad C. Lautenbacher Junior told reporters the Atlantic will have 12 to 15 tropical storms, seven to nine of them becoming hurricanes, and three to five of those hurricanes being major, with sustained winds of at least one-hundred-and-eleven miles per hour.
These are the names for this year.
