August 13th Birthdays & Concert
Saturday the 11th was a gathering of the clan, a big party in Honor of my Grandmother Grumley (G.G). She will be 90 years old this Monday august 13th.
It was nice, lovely vases of roses on all the tables, the family tree Quilt my older sister Amber made was displayed on a wall, next a table displaying photos of my grandmother, deceased grandfather and all there children and the scrap book most of the families contributed too.
Too not much surprise I got ill (vertigo,migraine, heat sickness) so my younger sister Alica and her husband Justin offered to drive me home early.
I had ridden to the party with my eldest sister Anne, bro-in-law Les and niece Courtney. After the party they were going to visit his family and stay the night. I was supposed to stay the night in a hotel and go home with my parents. It all worked out fine. Alica & Justin were bored and wanted to leave anyway and my parents got a king suite with Jacuzzi tub all to themselves. 
Mom had order a senior discount 1st floor non smoking 2 bed room, but when they got to the hotel the online company had booked them in a smoking 2nd floor room in a hotel with NO elevator. Mom and Dad both have problems with there joints so they were quite irate, but still polite. The manager said only 1st floor left was the King Suite and would give to them for $85, which was $10 more than they were originally paying but $65 less than the usual charge for that room($150). One king size bed, a sitting alcove with a pull out couch, a kitchenette (microwave, mini fridge, sink) a 2 person Jacuzzi and double size bathroom.
Sunday evening we had a lil cake, ice cream and presents for my niece who is turning 17 on Monday the 13th, same birthday as G.G. Anne & Les(her parents) gave her Amazon.com gift card, Mom & Dad(her Grandparents) gave her a borders gift card, my Alica & Justin gave her a card with lil cash earlier, I bougth her a Electro Plasma Lava Lamp, a hematite-turquoise necklace and a lil cash, Amber called and said she had shipped Courtney’s gift(s) they’d be here Monday.
Monday I will be riding along with Rob and a couple of his friends to the Dream Theatre Concert. Its in Detroit at the State Theatre. Dream Theater is an american progressive metal band comprised of James LaBrie-vocalist, John Petrucci-guitarist , Jordan Rudess-Keyboard, John Myung-bassist, and Mike Portnoy- drummer.

I’m sorry you got sick @ the party. Expect me to call tomorrow. I’ve got to at least wish Court happy birthday on the phone, and I want to do the same thing with G.G.
Have fun @ the Dream Theatre concert. I went on their MySpace page and listened to their song “constant Motion.” Those muthas can rock. The lead singer sounds kinda like James Hetfield from Metallica. But they’re music kicks a ton more ass. Mom might have a heart attack, but I wish I was going with you. Stay strong, sis. I’ll be home Aug. 28th
