HOW MUCH FUN CAN ONE PERSON HAVE? (WELL, TWO OR MORE PEOPLE I GUESS)

So what is all this fun i've been talking about that we had in July?  It's all here in pictures:

The Artists Happy Hour at the Rochester Civic Theatre's Outdoor Patio

A Be CD release party in the Barn Bar.  Bob plays mandolin with these boys and they asked him to record with them on their new CD.  So we had a release party.

Then our band Blue Monk played at the Olmsted County Fair. This is Madison's fine artwork:

"yeah, I'm with the band."

And our band played at the Rochester Civic Theatre's Friday Night Bistro:

And Bob played with Ted at Daniel's NorthWoods Lounge:

Of course, we were at Thursday's on First and Third every Thursday (except for that one day that was 110 Degrees)

So with all this playing out we had to practice a little.  So our friend's Susan and Roger made us all pizza in their outdoor brick oven after we practice on their farm called Squash Blossom Farm.

Maddie took her training horse Maui out to Haycreek for her first real trail ride.  I think she liked the water!

oh small pic!

And I got published on the cover of Rochester Women Magazine!

Annnnddddd…. We got some tomatoes out of the garden.
Phew!  i am exhausted just thinking about it!

IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT AND EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT!

Yes, after the torential downpour that day, we headed on out to the Rochester Civic Theatre Patio for their Friday Night Bistro; our first outside gig of the summer.  But of course it downpoured, so that meant - our first outdoor had to be turned into an indoor gig.  Darn!  But we had a great time anyway, everyone enjoyed themselves and we made a few bucks.  Here's to Blue Monk on a Friday!

THE FIRST ANNUAL GRAHAM FEST - BLUE MONK WAS THERE! 5/21/11

Yes, it was the first Graham Fest for the Friends of Graham Park, a group that are trying to raise funds to keep the fairgrounds around.  Bob was in charge of the band line up so it looked like the Sanborn show - all the usual characters: Ted & Mike (BE), Roger Nelson, Dianna and Kevin - well Kevin wasn't there so a friend filled in - Blue Monk and then the fabulous Jesse and the Rippers.
It was a good time and i figured i got enough images of these guys so what i did was come up with one image that just speaks volumes:
