Saturday Jeff and I moved the baby maple tree with attached bush to the backyard. Maybe it'll have a new friend tomorrow if they are giving away free tree seedlings for earth day tomorrow at work.
We got to Birmingham about 1:30 and had a late lunch with the brother clan (this now includes a sister-in-law, but I prefer the shortened terms). We took a side detour to check out Jim's apartment - very nice for an apt - older building with high ceilings and curved arches. Later the boys played foosball on the floppy table and then we grilled kabobs. While sitting on the deck we watched a neighbor cat play with Rita's previous kill of the day - a chipmunk. Stardome Comedy club was packed when we got there, but we made it in without too much trouble. Our table location was great, lower floor in the back. The first comedian was not very funny at all. James Gregory was ok but hard to look at, sorry he's just an ugly man. Bits were funnier toward the end but I think some of my party was falling asleep by then, not sure if it's because it was 10:30 or if it was all the beer :) The guys made an awesome breakfast of omelets and pancakes Sunday morning. Jeff and I headed home in the afternoon and made a stop in Cullman for the Bloomin Festival. It's just a small town arts festival but I was disappointed with the more crafty vendors. I did get a cool hummingbird feeder, hopefully it's not too late for the birds to find our house. It was a nice break from our usual weekend and fun to hang out with the guys.
