father's day weekend

 We started our Father's Day celebration early last weekend, when the hubs took his dad out to the racetrack for an exotic car racing experience.  The hubs selected the GTR, and PawPaw got to drive his dream car, a Porsche.  They both had a fantastic time, and were grinning all weekend!

This weekend, the hubs and I went to see the Rolling Stones!  Neither one of us is a die-hard fan, but seriously, when do you get an opportunity to see the Rolling Stones in Pittsburgh on Heinz Field?  Those guys aren't getting any younger (the oldest is 74, the youngest is 68), and we figured that seeing the Rolling Stones live should be on the bucket list.

Unfortunately, it's been raining for what seems like weeks.  Saturday night was no exception, and Heinz Field didn't follow Jerry Jones's architectural design of adding a roof to the stadium.  We sat in our seats, covered by ponchos, and not 7 minutes before the Rolling Stones were set to come out, the rain stopped.  And a rainbow came out (right side of the picture below).  It didn't rain again the entire night!

I didn't know what to expect, but I'd heard that these guys put on a fantastic show.  Rumors proved true!  Mick Jagger was hilariously sashaying his skinny butt all over the stage, and Keith Richards looked like Jack Sparrow's dad (Johnny Depp has admitted to using Keith Richards as his inspiration for Jack Sparrow, but seriously. Johnny Depp is actually doing a complete impersonation of the guy!),  We were pretty close to the stage, and the music was louder than any concert I've been to (or am I just getting old?  Ugh), and I recognized more songs than I knew I would.

The hubs and I don't bounce back from a late night quite like we used to, and we eased into the morning with gifts for the hubs for Father's Day.  We got him a shirt and hat (hat still not delivered - seriously, Zazzle, it's been almost 3 weeks now) with the farm logo and a Mickey Mouse notebook for fun.  Britton was so proud of the card because she picked it out for him. 

The hubs spent the day not getting to do what he wanted (which was probably nap and watch his own shows on television), and instead leveled our new trampoline in horrific humidity and went to Costco.  Then we all wanted out of the house this afternoon and went to Joanns so I could make Britton a strapless dress, as requested.  

Isn't that fabric beautiful?  It's that smocked fabric, but from the adult section so it would "go to Britton's toes" as requested.  It doesn't want to stay up, so I'm adding shoulder straps tonight.

Our weekend went by ridiculously fast and we had a great time, and got to celebrate Father's Day!
