2003 was a year of transition for Dan & Sandy. Dan was phasing in a completely new career as a Financial Planner. Dan's sister Diane passed away in January. Dan's mom was starting a new relationship. There were the several trips to visit family which are always fun. Dan & Sandy went back to Dan's hometown in New York over 4th of July. Of course we had the ANNUAL Taste of Blue Ash extravaganza. The Bier Band (...more bier than band) started a new era without the previous leadership.... we turned out way better than before! Dan & Sandy volunteered for "Tall Stacks" a music and history festival on the Ohio River in Cincinnati. All in all 2003 was a very memorable year
We had a little New Years Celebration at our house this year. We dressed up in funny outfits just to spin out our guests!
Ohio State?...NATIONAL CHAMPIONS??!! Hell Yeah! Hang on Sloopy. We went over to our friend Terri's place to watch the game... Friends Jeff & Judy enjoyed the game with us too.
Sandy went to visit her sister Tracey and family in January. It was Ashley's Birthday. Here's a couple pics including Ashley's boyfriend Seth and the Facial.
Dan's Sister Diane passed away in January. She was a great girl... fun loving and a hard worker. Here are some pictures of family and friends that gathered in NC for her Memorial Service and reception.
Joe is a FABULOUS guitar player. Here he is with his band FLAT HEAD SUE. We went to see them in February.
We went down to NC again in March to visit Dan's Mom Dorothy. She was performing with the Moore County Regional Concert Band. Also... Mom's got a new boyfriend Joe. Looks pretty serious... He's a great guy.
We went to Sandy's sister Tracey's house for Easter. Friends Craig and Renee came with us. It was quite a nice family reunion... check out the pics.
We went back to NY in May to have another memorial service for Diane. So many friends came out to pay their respects and remember Diane. We sure had some fun too.
And here's some miscellaneous recent pics for your enjoyment.: Maysville KY, Happy Hour with Jeff, Amy & Terri, The Gay Pride Parade and Dan with the Brownies (Terri's daughter Rachel needed to earn her Music Patch...)
