I to get dressed and sneak off to my cousin Elizabeth&#8217;s wedding.\u00a0 I have to admit, I have actually been looking forward to this wedding for quite some time.\u00a0 Elizabeth was the flower girl in our wedding, so that was sort of special for us, even if she didn&#8217;t return the favor and have me be her flower girl.\u00a0 (As she pointed out, she didn&#8217;t have a flower girl in her ceremony, or it most certainly would have been me.)\u00a0 I have to say I was excited for the reception too.\u00a0 It was held at her parents house in their huge back yard, and they had <a title=\"Lonnie McFadden\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lonniemcfadden.com\/index2\" target=\"_blank\">Lonnie McFadden<\/a> for entertainment.\u00a0 If you have never seen one of his shows, you should definitely go catch one.\u00a0 The guy is just a Kansas City standard.\u00a0 I haven&#8217;t seen him in quite a while, but he was just as good as I remembered.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t see a lot of private shows on his <a title=\"Calendar\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lonniemcfadden.com\/June_2011%20.htm\" target=\"_blank\">calendar<\/a>, so I don&#8217;t know how they got that worked out, but I sure enjoyed it.\u00a0 Having Lonnie McFadden sing &#8220;It Had To Be You&#8221; for your first dance, are you kidding me?\u00a0 How cool is that?!!?<\/p>\n<p>Sunday didn&#8217;t bring a whole lot of entertainment our way.\u00a0 Too hot.\u00a0 We did go check out the Taco Factory up in Waldo for lunch.\u00a0 Not too bad, not too bad at all.\u00a0 I had one chicken and one pork taco with rice &amp; beans on the side.\u00a0 It was definitely a solid lunch, although I&#8217;m not sure it really offered anything to make us hurry back.\u00a0 The selection of places in that $7 &#8211; $9 price range is just nearly overwhelming these days, it&#8217;s hard to find a favorite.\u00a0 They did have some tempting week-day specials posted up on the wall, we might go back and check those out.\u00a0 After that, well not much occurred.\u00a0 Heck I was so bored last night I actually watched the entire NBA playoff game.\u00a0 Now <em>that&#8217;s<\/em> bored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Straight from cold and rainy to hot and humid, as anticipated.\u00a0 Nice.\u00a0 Cheated out of Spring once again.\u00a0 We enjoyed the weekend such as it was though.\u00a0 Friday I had fully intended to just head home and watch movies.\u00a0 As it happened though, the gang was celebrating our friend Anne&#8217;s birthday down at the &#8216;Sider [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1090","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1090"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1090\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1090"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1090"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1090"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
