no funnel cakes?

I've decided to combine my photography blog with this one.  There are way too many to keep up with and no need to have separate ones.  Tonight I went to the St. Thomas festival in Fort Thomas with the fam.  My uncle Greg was playing base guitar as part of the entertainment for the evening.  I decided that I need to take my camera with me more places because I get no practice behind it.


We drove past my grandma and grandpa's house on the way to the festival.  Okay so it's not a house anymore and neither of them are with us anymore.  The house burned down years after my grandmother passed away and my grandfather had moved out.  So now it's grass and I'd be lying if I said it weren't depressing to look at.  I also lied when I said it's grass, it's a garden and trees for the two houses that used to be it's neighbor.  My warmest memories were in that home.  Sucks that it's not there anymore.


Anyway so the festival.  I immediately see my aunt Judy.  She is my dad's mom's step-sister's daughter, yeah I know, figure that one out.  Either way I've been planning a family reunion with my dad's family and hers'.  She works for the church.  She's great.    


I really like family events like this because it reminds me of the good old days.  My grandmother was my favorite, she worked as a lunch lady at St. Thomas.  My cousin Beth and I heard a rumor that her picture was hanging in the lunch room so we had to go check it out.  This is what we found...

I remember going to the cafeteria with her sometimes, I felt pretty special that I got to go to a different school and hang out behind the concession line.  It was fun to see her picture hanging there so many years after she'd left.  


A fun night was had by all, just a couple more pics from the night...
