Rock'n Ribfest 2013

This weekend we attended Ribfest which is held at the Budweiser plant in Merrimack, NH. It was fun and wasn't as crowded as I thought it was going to be (considering this is my first time at this event). I had some ribs, chicken, and pork which were all very good. So many vendors to choose from......take a peek.... :)

Soooo good.....got to splurge sometimes....

You can see the Budweiser plant in the background.....

We walked over to the Budweiser stables to look at the Clydesdale horses....

We all had a great time.....looking forward to the next adventure :)

Pre Weekend.....

Hi! Well, the more time I have off, the more I see more things (activities, fairs, events) going on around me that I can attend and get some pictures. I want to go to a small fair tomorrow and take some pictures. I never had the ambition or time to enjoy the summer activities because I had a "time demanding" job. It was hard to make plans when I didn't have a "clock out time" and didn't know if I was working Saturdays until Friday afternoon. I not complaining about my job, I'm venting about setting summer time fun on the back burner for a job that took up a large (very large) percentage of my week. This is a total 180 degree turn to what I'm use to and I'm not going to waste it away. I've been getting some work done here at home that I don't want to get into on a blog, but it's been moving along nicely.

Okay, today, let me tell you about today! :)  We (my Mom, Dad, and I) woke up early this morning (very early) and headed down to Rhode Island to Twin Rivers Casino to enjoy some play time on the slot machines. I hit alot of bonus rounds on some slot machines, but I also broke alot of slot machines too. Weird. I think I met the whole technical team. I played on a Power Strike slot machine (which is my favorite slot machine and after hitting the max bet twice, the screen displayed a message to me saying Machine Malfunction.......grrrrrrrrrr......wait a minute, I understand computers, trust me, I do, BUT, I swear (just this feeling I got) that that slot machine was going to pay the big jackpot and.....and.....and it just went on the blink.....but this is as far as I got for a payout......

Gosh, I got so excited about my 27,150 pennies I took the picture a little sideways.......hahahaha!!! Anyways, this evening, I went to dinner with my Mom, Dad, cousin, and his wife at TGIFridays. I like that place, but it wasn't my first choice to eat.......I can think of other places I like better, oh, like Olive Garden or Texas Roadhouse or even Applebee's. I like Applebee's alot.

Oh, let's see what else here. It's a quiet night. I'm trying to determine if I'm going to warm up to the new Karoke reality show that is on tonight.....I forgot the name of it......but I've never seen it before. Enjoy your night. I'm ready with my camera wherever I may wander tomorrow..... :)

Another Thursday Night Summer Concert Series.....

Well, today was an eventful day and alot got done. At Veteran's Park on Elm Street here in Manchester, we have a free summer concert series (I think tonight was the last night). It was getting chilly outside around 8:30ish....Great music too! I loved it. I can't wait for the summer concert series to start next summer.....I would definitely recommend it to others. I brought Jake and it was free.....come on, what's better that that! :) Ohhhh, of course I got some pictures for ya! :)

This is Veteran's Park where the concert is held.....

Pretty neat set up huh! :) There were alot of people there!

There's the band under the yellow tent. The band was called
"Air Traffic Controllers" (or something like that)

Ohhhh, the Mayor is working his magic for re-election LOL!

What's this?? A survey?? Okay, I'll fill it out......

Hello there little guy. Not sure what you are looking at.....

This is Robbie.....my Aunt and Uncle was there with us with Robbie
Not sure exactly what kind of dog he is....

I snapped a picture of all the people there at the concert....it was pretty busy!

My little buddy is relaxing.....

Oh, something caught his attention.....there were alot of other little dogs there.....

"Not My Fault" LOL! Or as Jake would say BOL! :)

Well, that was my day today.....busy and productive. It's the weekend starting tomorrow....not that it matters to me. OH, I did get a letter in the mail today from Anthem BC/BS saying that I was approved for the insurance plan I signed up for (YAY!) and I should be getting a card in the mail under a "separate cover"....I guess it sounds pretty top secret to me LOL! Have a good night....I'm off to cuddle with Jake! :)
