Rich, Heather and Alana’s Blog

Last Friday night Rich and I got together with our good friends, Jeff and Amber. We had been alternating homes every other week to watch 24 (one of the VERY FEW TV shows that we watch, and WELL worth the heart attacks I suffer whenever we do), but since we got all caught up and have no more to watch, we decided it was time for some good old-fashioned game time. We busted out the deck of cards and Jeff and Amber taught us how to play “Golf”. The game was quite fun and I actually got the hang of it, even though I came in last place. I like to think it was because there was so much luck involved. Had it been a strategy-only game, I am sure I would have fared better Or maybe not;) Anyhow, here are some fun shots from our game night with the Read’s.

Amber and Heather…

This is Richard’s angry face…he wasn’t doing too well through the first few rounds of “golf.” Being actual golf buddies, Jeff kept making fun of Rich, saying that his card game of golf was much like his real life game of golf…a little weak!

Contemplative…

Jeff and Amber…

Here I am being feisty…

Meet Greyson, Jeff and Amber’s doggie. He is much fun and hyper most of the time, but relatively calm on this evening. Here he is helping with the dishes!!! Where can I get one of these???

I love this shot that Rich got - focusing on the bamboo on the table while Greyson is happily attacking Amber in the background. I wish I had the patience of my husband, who actually reads manuals and online tutorials to learn more about our awesome SLR camera.

For anyone who knows Jeff Read, this is a VERY authentic picture. He is so predictable. If Rich and I go to the Read’s, we can COUNT on eating refrigerated Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookies…the Mini’s kind. Jeff maintains that the package that has 40 mini cookies (as opposed to fewer, normal sized cookies) bake better, and taste perfect every time. And so, there are always one or more packs of them in their fridge. I think Jeff eats some every night. How he stays so thin, I have NO idea! We love you, Jeff!

Self Portrait time!
