Summer started with a bachelor party.
The party was starting at a pool hall….
Which I quickly made use of in celebration of…
Herbo’s last night out with the guys.
Herbo modeled his sign….
And then I made a small change.
It wasn’t long….
Before we tired of the pool….
And were happy to see the entertainment arrive.
We slipped into a back room….
And the real fun began!!!
You want me to put what where?
How to best enjoy whip cream.
Everyone did a quick shot….
Then it was back to the fun stuff.
I’ll give you one guess as to where she is putting that shooter….
And Herbo was ready to do the shot.
My father made due with the best he could get.
We left the pool hall….
And made our way across Baltimore to…
Hooters, where the women get…..
No respect!!!!!
It was fun, but not as fun as the first activity.
From there, it was across baltimore again to…..
Some more bars to end the night.
The next day I was totally hung over for the Tersiguel’s garden party.
It was a good time….
With the tours….
And the drinking.
Champagne? Let me open that with my saber!!
Ta-da!!!!!
We walked around the grounds and visited the church that Fernand built.
Later, Fernand let us taste from his private stock.
Cheers!!!!!
Thanks, Fernand!!!
Our drunk….I mean wine buddies.
OK, enough of this day.
One day Kelli and I went to the DC wine expo….
But I guess I forgot to take pictures, because this is all I have.
Kelli visited her grandmother in FL.
For our July 4th Pictures click here.Some art thing in Chicago.
Kelli scored some fresh eggs from my brother’s neighbor.Well that’s all, hope you had as much fun as we did!!!!!
elli in Chicago.
Looks like we had fresh crabs one night.
Out hiking with my honey…
And taking some pictures.
Fresh from the garden.
Kelli went with Ashley to the library one morning….
For some story telling….
And play time.
She’s a great reader for her age.
Sophia stayed at home and slept through most of the fun.
Wolf trap to see the Indigo Girls.
Mostly chics, as you might guess.
We had great seats….
And a great time.
Encore!!!!
Ladies night out….
And they all headed down to Ellicott City for some drinking.
Of course, they picked up a couple free-loaders along the way….
But while it was girls night…..
That meant that somewhere there were men with nothing to do….
So while Kelli and the gang….
Had a good time at the bar….
The guys were having a good time at my house.
We also went to Ellicott City that night…
They started hopping from bar to bar….
And having a good time with the men they met….
While we decided it was time to head out, too…..
But not before a goofy shot.
Back to the women, and Fernand was making them a special treat….
Some kinda banana thing.
And were quick to make up for lost time.
Sisters, gotta love ’em.
To cheap to pay for pool…
So we cheated the system.
Yeah, that’s how ya stick it to the man!!!!
Mmmmm, shots of mylanta.
So there were two cameras there that night, this one being from the one Kelli was using….
And this one from me, when we bumped into them in a bar.
They headed to another bar….
And after a quick stop with John Shoemaker…
And Marty Willigan…..
We met up with them again, and danced the night away.
With lots of drinking…..
Comes lots of crazyness.
Hammered, both of ’em.
Scott hangin’ with three girls….
And then trying to take some home with him.
The next day, Scott and I headed to Baltimore’s Artscape festival.
A quick stop to hydrate….
And then it was on to the music.
Scott brought his own security force.
What would you get?
This was the veggie.
Scott got a crab melt.

Scott’s new car.
From the festival we headed to….
A guitar store….
Let me tell you, that cat can play!!!!!
Scott’s ‘Stang…..
And a quick speed test in said vehicle.
She DOES NOT want you to see this picture.
More fresh goodies from the garden….
And dinner, made from said goodies.
A quick dessert after dinner.
The first annual Columbia pub crawl.
5 miles, four bars.
Clydes was the first…..
And this was the crew for the day.
At the second pub, we were all hot and sweaty, except for Ralph who drove.
Beer and running, what a great combo.
A quick group shot outside the Fire Rock, and then it was on to…..
Rocky Run. Don’t I look great?
Lots more drinking….
And even some speed drinking.
After Rocky Run, it was on to the next (and last) bar.
They all went that way around the building….
But I went back the same way we came in…..
And made it to the finish line first.
Kelli was close behind, and later called me a cheat for not following the pack.
So the rest of the group came in…..
With the trophies they found along the way (there were prizes for this sort of thing).
We went inside for the trophy presentation….
Of which I won loudest belch.
Ralph’s best hat.
The awards, in case you were wondering.
OK, enough with the drinking…..
And stupid pictures.
Some more freshness from the garden.
Mmmmm, mmmm, good.
As we do most years, Kelli and I headed to the Legg Mason Tennis classic.
Not associated with G-13.
The big pull that day was Andre Agassi’s last showing at the event.
It was a great night for tennis….
And while it was fun to see Andre play….
It was not fun to see him lose.
He lost in straight sets, and took a bow to the standing audience.
We headed down for an upclose view of…..
James Blake, and then headed for home.
It’s that time of the year again when the family gets together and makes homemade tomato sauce.
I don’t go to this event….
As I am not into the mess….
And the crowdedness.
But I sure do love that sauce.
Out drinking somewhere….
We’ll just call it G.L. Shacks.
We all went for a walk one day….
To the local pond….
To feed the ducks.
Ashley thought this was pretty.
How do you keep the deer out of your garden?
I made Ashley a bouquet of wild flowers.
Because the pictures here aren’t good enough?
For our 5th wedding anniversary pictures click here.Ah yes, don’t we look nice.
Penny, we shall miss thee.
Looks like we have a new member to the family.
No, it’s not Taylor…..
It’s Amber Michele!!!!
She is the first Habicht girl in over 4 generations.
Uncle Scott, here to get you in trouble.
The other Habicht family.
Taylor very quickly took to his sister….
And was more than happy to hold her.
For my brother’s pictures of Amber from that day, click here.
Turns out, we had more tomatoes in our garden….
So Kelli made more sauce, this time by herself.
A drinking/shopping event in Georgetown, DC….
And Kelli and I enjoyed the free drinks.
The next day I was hanging out with Mark and Brian…..
Playing some Golden Tee live.
Totally posed shot.
Back at Brian’s house, we worked on our hoola-hoop skills.
Go Brian, go!!!!
Almost all my friends have kids now….
And they all seem to have the cutest babies.
She figured out how to set off my car alarm.
Crabs again!!!!

Mike went with me to a Raven’s game at Redskin’s stadium.
My Grandfather was supposed to go with me to the game at FedEx field, but…..
He was unsure of the weather and backed out.
One camera + a pair of binoculars = closer cheerleader.
