Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to one and all! We enjoyed a nice Easter with my sister and her two sons today! The weather was beautiful, the company was good, and the food was (if I do say so myself) delicious! Hope everyone had a good day! Jesus is Risen, He is Risen indeed! Happy Easter!

190 N (Our Dancing Debut on ABC Chicago)

tonyc86 — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 04:49:24 +0000

I found this video at the 190 North web site. 190 North is a local TV Show showing things to do and see around the Chicagoland area. If you ever get a chance to see it, it’s on Channel 7 in Chicago. It’s also a video podcast on iTunes or you can watch it at 190north.com.

The reason this one is on our website is because we happen to be on the show. This is when Lisa and I made our dancing debut. Honestly, this was our second time, and we never went back. We figured, we took our dancing as far as we can. We made it on TV. Now the trick is to see if you can find us. You will need Quicktime installed to see the link, but it’s worth it.

This originally aired on March 18, 2007.

Merry Christmas!

The Advent season is upon us! We have the lights on the tree and all of the other decorations up. We’ll put ornaments on the tree maybe tonight. We have had some snow, but last night we had slushy rain. Tony and I just came back from visiting the Mouse and Friends at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. What fun! We attended the Candlelight Processional Concert at Epcot, with celebrity narrator John O’Hurley. He did a wonderful job narrating the Christmas story. There was also a marvelous Christmas parade at the Magic Kingdom with marching Toy Soldiers, Reindeer, Santa, and more! Great fun! We watched lots of fireworks as well. Add cocoa and cookies, the Osborne Lights, and snow and you’ve got a great Christmas extravaganza. We had a super time, and will definitely go back again.

This is for the reading club where Lisa works. She did great!!! She’s the one on the right!

October and a new car

lisapizzac72 — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:39:36 +0000

It’s already October, can you believe it? The Halloween decorations are up, Tony bought us pumpkin ice cream, and trick-or-treaters are right around the corner. What will *you* be for Halloween?

Big news for October. We bought a new 2010 Ford Fusion. This is a super nice car. We have both enjoying driving it. My trusty Saturn turned 10 this year, and had 116,000 miles on it. I know by some standards she was still a baby, but what with tollway driving, I thought it was time for something new. So there you have it. I feel blessed that we could afford to buy a new car in times like these. God watches over us and has blessed us with good jobs!

Happy Halloween everyone!

So we missed August did we?

lisapizzac72 — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:10:46 +0000

So here it is, September 10. Looks like we missed an August update! Probably the biggest thing we did in August was visiting St. Louis to see Mary Poppins (and the Gateway Arch). Did you know that the Arch was built to commemorate Thomas Jefferson and the westward expansion of the United States? Neither did I, but I do now! Tony and I had a wonderful visit, took some great pictures, and are really looking forward to going back. And Mary Poppins was super! Oh, and I went to a Cubs game with Tony ( Go Cubs!) and we went bowling with friends. Nice! So here we are in September. What’s in store for us? Who knows!

Wonderful Kentucky trip

lisapizzac72 — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:19:52 +0000

Well, we hope that you all had a wonderful 4th of July, whether with family or friends, watching a parade or watching fireworks, or just plain old relaxing. The Colemans had a very relaxing weekend in Kentucky. We played board games, sat out on the porch and talked, visited Tony’s grandma Fannie. Couldn’t get much better than that! We had a little picnic on the way to see Fannie, and that was fun too! Nothing beats a picnic. Food just tastes a little better when it is eaten outside. Enjoy the rest of your July everyone!

It’s June??

lisapizzac72 — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 20:35:52 +0000

How did that happen, it’s June already! We haven’t had too many hot days yet, but the calendar says it is June, so it must be summer! The biggest thing that happened this month is that our kitchen ceiling got fixed! Let me back up. We had a major plumbing issue a few months back. Long story short? We had water coming out of the light fixture! So our kitchen ceiling had to be repaired and repainted, and it was just a few weeks ago. Add a bit of paint and voila! The house looks brand new! Today we renewed our library cards (something I would encourage everyone to do!) and checked some stuff out of our local library. Good times! Well, that’s all for now. Hope all of our readers are having a good summer!

Lisa as an Extra
