Derby Day in Frostburg

On July Fourth, Frostburg had their annual Derby Day. I forget how many years they have been doing this. They close down more than half of main street, starting just about at the bookstore and it ends right before our block. It was so cute, and we had a great time. These little kids were so cute in their derby cars, this event is taken very seriously. . . there was double elimination! Lots of food and drinks, even snowball wanna-bees. Not very good ones, but hey, you take what you can get in Frostburg ;) This year was huge, because they brought back the open container Derby Day, the first in 8 years. That's right, for the first time in 8 years you were allowed to drink a beer. . . gasp! and enjoy the derby day festivities. Believe it or not, they even had people signing petitions a couple of months before the big event. Enjoy the video clip.

And we're back. . .

Howdy folks! Wow, we have been on a long break! But not to worry, things have been moving along at the house. We are hard at work on the kitchen, we had counter templaters here today and in 2-3 weeks we will have some shiny new countertops. Brent has been hard at work hanging cabinets. Stay tuned for those pics. We have also been hard at work in the yard, which hasn't been weeded or pruned since I don't know when. Probably a good 3- 5 years, if not more! But before we post all of the updated house pics, we wanted to post some Summer Fun pictures. This video was my first and only ride on a four-wheeler. I think it's safe to say that I like to live life in the slow lane. . .
