Good Times & Good People

I saw Smokey! I saw Smokey! More importantly, I heard Smokey! When I got to the fair, I was bummed--they told me the stands were full. So my friend and I went on a few fair rides (which seriously did a number on my stomach), bought some cotton candy and were ready to split, when I got to urge just to check if there were open seats (by this time, the concert was almost over).

To my delight, there were open seats! We only caught the encore, but it was a smashing encore--it lasted maybe 30 minutes, and I caught "Tracks of My Tears." I didn't know an old singer could sound so good, but Smokey brought the house down! And he sounded just like he did back in the day. He even added some sultry dance moves...hey, I'll be in heaven if my *future* husband can move like that at that age. Yeahhhhh, Smokey!

Anyway, here are some random pictures from the summer thus far:

Another new roommate who is an amazing photographer! Meet Candace :)
