Gorilla in Newbern!

Sorry for the double video post, but this one can't be passed up.

Well, now I've heard it all.  Suposedly there is a gorilla on the loose!  Newbern is the town we lived in last year, and where Rural Studio is located.  The "downtown" is basically comprised of the Newbern Merchantile, the Fire Station, a Rural Studio Woodshop and Studio, the Post Office, and a vacant storefront.  That's it.  

 It's really funny to be seeing this tiny community on the news.  Plus, not to mention the reason they are on the news!  haha.

 

Happy First Day of Spring

Spring came out of nowhere! I keep thinking that it's just a fluke, that there is still one last blast of cold... not so far! After 5 days of work in this weather I've quickly realized my serious need for some new clothes. I've been doing some poking around online to get some direction. So far it seems like a lot of pencil skirts and button down blouses. that's great news because it's really easy to get a few basic skirts and blazers then go from there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

Plainfield Irish Parade

Last Sunday was the ever-growing St. Patrick’s Day Parade in downtown Plainfield.  We were there for the whole shebang and it was so much fun! 

It really started on Saturday night by preparing the “fleet” of scooters and Honda Passports.  Early Sunday morning we were at the garage cleaning and tinkering our rides, and then delivering a couple scooters to some of those directing the parade.

Lining up at Plainfield Central High School (where I attended when it was PHS) the number of floats, trucks, businesses and bands were shocking!  While the main street in Plainfield (Lockport St) started to fill in with spectators, all I could think of was our first St. Patrick’s Day parade.  It consisted of 1 float, 3 trucks and a whole lot of bicycles.  My mom and then business partner thought it would be fun to have an Irish Parade of our own, a week before the actual day.  Somehow over the past 12 years, the parade has grown a little each year. 


 

 

 

 

 

A fairly new addition to the event is the afternoon Pubcrawl!  Myself and about 40 others “crawled” from one pub to the next, winding our way through downtown Plainfield.  Consisting of 6 bars, we had a great time… facilitating a raffle drawing at each stop.  Danny and Nisi quickly grew familiar with the megaphone, sometimes a little to comfortable with yelling into it.  Haha.
