Block Party Fun

This 'n' That

18 Oct

Every year the neighborhood has a block party, Bill & Jayne, and Keith & Kelly are the ones that kinda put the whole thing on cause it is at their houses, or at least in their yards.  It seems like the last few years I have not been able to go cause I have a class that night and by the time the class is over, the entertainment is done, and the food is gone…so this year Jayne hollered at me and said "don't plan a class for the night of the 17th, it is our block party", and I said "who is the entertainment?" and she didn't know who they were gonna get.  So I suggested my friend Mary Hoffman. I first met Mary about 3 or 4 years ago when she opened up for Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband in Queen Creek.  She is so talented, and now I try to go see her whenever I can. 

Anyway, I told Jayne I would call Mary and see if she was available.  So Jayne, Bill, Keith and Kelly all went to listen to Mary play at a bar and well the rest is history.  Everyone loved her and even Bill (who said he didnt think he could do country two years in a row – even though she plays a bit of everything – you should hear her sing Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools") said to Mary at the end of the night. "Are you ready for next year" Ha! Bill -Gotcha!

Here is Mary and the guys performing.  I took a quick video too, sorry the quality is not that good, cause she really rocked the house porch.

Well I am headed to bed, I am sleeping in in the morning.

Have a great Sunday and thanks for stopping in!

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
