Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

So Tom and I heard that there was going to be a free concert at the Zucchini festival in Obetz, Ohio. We decided well we like her so let's go. Shawn, Tom, and I ended up going and I have to say that I think it was the best concert I've ever been to. She played for an hour and a half for FREE! Absolutely amazing lady. Now I'm on a serious Joan Jett kick and so is my husband and my little brother. I think they loved her as much as I did. AMAZING!! I bought her 2 disc greatest hits CD and I just checked out her movie The Runaways. I can't wait to watch it. Here's a pic we took from the concert.

Tom's mom's 70th Birthday Party

So here's what happened. A few months back I told Tom we should have a big surprise party for his mom because she was turning 70. He agreed so I reserved the room at York Steak House which is her favorite place to eat. I invited everyone to come and we had a good crowd. I'm not sure of how surprised she was but oh well. I think she really enjoyed the party anyway. The participants were, Tom and I, Mary and Joe, Nona mom's best friend, Billy, Margie, Wesley and Josh, Dad and Lisa and the boys, and Shawn. Bradley her grandson stopped by for a few minutes too with little Brad. The sad thing was her only missing daughter didn't come and I think she was a little disappointed about that. All in all I think her 70th Birthday was a good one.
