May Days

I am working from a different computer so pictures will have to come later but I had some time so I thought I would update. We finally got a kitchen table and we love it! Thanks to my cousin for having a garage sell and giving me dibs on it before anyone else. It is really pretty and I do have a picture I just can't load them. So now if I get around to it and have people over for dinner there will be a place for them to sit. I did have our neighbors over for dinner already so I guess I am ahead of schedule.
Other happenings my Mom and Sister went to a bread making class and a couple weeks later they taught my other sister and friend Tiff and I how to make the bread it is so yummy and really cheap to make so Rich is pretty excited about that. He thinks if I start making home made bread he will get fat cause he will eat so much.
Over Memorial day weekend my family went out to Camp Floyd in Fairfield they were having a civil war reenactment of sorts and it was really fun to hear the stories and to see the old school house. That Camp was at the time the largest base and housed the largest amount of soldiers 1/3 of all the troops. I read on the internet when the camp was disbanded the town went from having thousands of people to just 18 families. It is still a very small town. It was a theory at the time that it was the idea of southern sympathizers to drain the federal government of money. We all had a lot of fun out there.
Also over memorial Day weekend we went and saw Angels and Demons the movie. I HATED the show so much. I wanted to walk out about 20 minutes into it and should have. The reason is because it was not anything like the book they changed SO much that I hated it. If you never read the book then I am sure that it would be an ok show. I just was so bugged that they took the plot and then changed all the good parts and then made a movie. I was really bugged by it and started laughing at the ridiculous parts much to Rich's dismay. I was very vocal about thinking the movie was crap and I hope to save anyone who loved the book or recently read it and would still remember how the book went don't watch it is was not worth the money or time when the images in your head were so much better while reading it. I could go on for awhile on this one but really as far as books into movie this one makes all the Harry Potters movies seem like they follow the book to a T, as we all know they do not.
Anyway I will post pictures soon of our table and the fun trip to camp Floyd.
