My Favorite Broadway Show...

Garrett went to bed.  I was going to join him, but then I got distracted listening/singing to Les Miserables.  Man, I don't know if there is a more beautiful sound than "Bring Him Home" or "One Day More" or "On My Own" or...any of it.  Man, I forgot how much I love this music.




 

Here are some of my favorite scenes
 

I cry every time.  And this is my favorite Eponine ever:  Lea Salonga


ONE DAY MORE!

OH NO!

Sorry that the comments on the last post didn't work.  I think I fixed the problem.  I still want to know what you had to say, so if you wouldn't mind trying one more time, I would appreciate it.  :)

What we did on Halloween

Amber:
Garrett and I decided to be a little nontraditional this Halloween. As much as we love dressing up and going to parties, we decided on a mini road trip for some scary fun. We headed to a ghost town hoping to spook ourselves out a little bit.

The problem with us is that we tend to get distracted on the way. This graffiti covered tower thing caught our attention first. It was actually pretty spooky on the inside. We were worried we might find a body in there. Then we remembered that we still haven't had the chance to try out Garrett's new gun, which he can legally carry around in case someone wants to attack us. So we bought some cream soda bottles (well, actually we bought cream soda, that was sold in glass bottles, and then drank it.) and set them up as targets. I hit one after several tries. Garrett's a much better shot than me.



After miles of desert landscape, egg salad sandwiches and Toby Keith songs, we arrived at a small town in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately, it was too dark to find the ghost town. But we did end up at this neat hotel/diner thing where we watched a documentary of people telling their ghost stories. Garrett was pretty scared after that.

We checked out the ghost town the next morning. It wasn't nearly as scary as we hoped, probably because it was broad daylight. But it was rather fascinating, and we saw some cool old stuff. Like this rock polisher

And these kilns.
Then we headed home. We saw this restaurant which is supposed to be really good, and a couple celebrities have been to it. Unfortunately, it wasn't very good.

The Pho makes the sickness go away

Garrett:

Ever had it?

Phở is served in a bowl with white rice noodles in clear beef broth, with thin cuts of beef (steak, fatty flank, lean flank, brisket). Variations feature tendon, tripe, meatballs, chicken leg, chicken breast, or other chicken organs. 'With the lot' (made with chicken broth and all or most of the shop's chicken and cattle offerings, including chicken hearts and livers and beef tripe and tendons) is known as 'Phở đặc biệt' (specialty phở)

thx wiki....



I like mine extra spicy and Amber is new to the experience so she is having hers a little more on the sweet side with the nummy Hoisin sauce.

Go give it a try and tell us what you think.

Googlesearch Pho soup. There are a lot around here

Meet Amber and Garrett . . .


Garrett : My name is Garrett and I'm new to this blogging bit but am kinda excited to try it out.
I like guns, great tasting food, and adventure. Later (if your lucky) ill get back on and post some stories about my life and what I like to do, have done, and plan on doing... Apparently that is what blogs are for er something..


Amber : I'm...old?...to blogging. My mom is a hard core blogger and has convinced everyone else in her life to jump on board, including me. Since we got married and are a little more disconected to everyone, we thought a blog was a nice way to keep in touch. This is a wedding picture.
