The wing festival



Hi family and friends! I know I know we haven't been blogging lately but honesty there really was nothing going on...ok I'm lying, the truth is that we have had a million things going on!
So last Saturday, we decided to go to the annual wing festival here in Albany! Those who know us well, know how much we love wings and more specifically know how many my wife could put down! Such a petite person and such a huge appetite lol!
So we took cash out (enough to make sure we could truly taste each and every one of the vendors) and headed over to the fairgrounds! We were really excited when we were able to here the awesome band playing in the background! So we got some beers and went over to the first "wing vendor". To our surprise they had ran out of wings, however with a pleasant smile offered us a pulled pork sandwich! We looked at each other and I read Monica's mind, as I anticipated her saying "no thanks we aren't at the pulled pork festival" I smiled and started heading with Monica to the next vendor. Ok, so to make this long and quite painful story truly short I will tell you that there was a total of 4 vendors with wings and not one had wings available for sale! After some pictures to document this event and a few laughs we debated between going to the best place in town for wings, which is mellow mushroom or going to Sam's and making them ourselves! Well we decided to go to mellow and we enjoyed some good wings (okay let me make sure I'm clear, the wings were good but nothing like buffalo wild wings or leeroy selmon)!
Please enjoy the pics of the annual Albany wing fest!

Moral of the story: We will be one of those wing vendors next year, we will shine and eat and hopefully show this people how eating wing is truly done :)

Our senior citizen puppies

We have used this blog for almost 2 years now to keep our loved ones informed of the events in our life. We have always been able to share happy moments, great memories, and good times in our life. This post is a little different than the usual ones. Monopoly and Jaxon have been a part of our lives for a long long time. Monopoly turns 9 in a few weeks and Jax turns 11 in May. Although our pups love to play (Monopoly mostly with humans and jaxy pretty much wants to play with anything or anyone at anytime)they don't have major medical problems, eat and go to the bathroom normally, we still knew that soon the boys would start entering their "older age". About 2 weeks ago, Monopoly started acting extremely out of character. For those who know "M Junior" (M Junior or MJ is one of Monopoly's many nicknames, Junior because he is Monica's junior) know that he is extremely smart, extremely verbal, a little socially awkward, socially phobic and never ever e...

A broom and the salt bottle

So we finally moved this weekend! How is it that we still have so much crap??? The move is really what inspired this blog story. I've been with Monica for some years now and during those years, we have had MANY moves, so I still don't now how Monica's superstitious "Colombian" beliefs still amuse me! According to Monica's family, when one moves, they leave behind the old broom and the bottle of salt. The reason is because you leave the bad luck from the old home (symbolized by the broom and salt bottle) and you buy new ones representing the good luck that will come in the new home. The funny part is that I can probably write a book regarding Monica and her family's superstitions (spiders, flies, pearls, dolls, glass breaking, the list goes on and on, but those other stories will be for future blogs). For now let's focus on the broom and the salt. It was our first night in the new place, monIca and I decided to grill out in celebration for a ha...
