Finally Friday!

The weekend couldn't come any sooner! After our big 7 Year Itch Celebration this week, we are ready for some relaxation.

The Opening Ceremonies for the 2008 Summer Olympics have begun in China! Kate has the Olympic Fever, Mike is not interested at all.

Today is 08-08-08! Over 9,000 people are getting married today in China. In the Chinese Culture the #8 is considered lucky.

Congratulations to Becky and Dwyane Spoooner! They are the Mike and Kate Everyday Hero of the week. Deanna Smith nominated them. Apparently Dwayne's coworker had a stroke at 31 years old and was unable to renovate the "fixer upper" house he just bought. The man is now in a wheelchair. So Dwayne and Becky stepped up the help. They have been working on the man's house night and day and they also held a benefit yard sale to raise money for the family. The Spooner family definitely makes the Treasure Valley a better place to live. Thank You! For being the Mike and Kate Everyday Hero they get a $75 Applebees Gift Certificate.

Apparently Oregon State Police say people are filling up plastic bottles with urine and chucking them out on I-84 between Ontario and Huntington. Around 300 bottles have dumped! YUCK! They think it could be long haul truck drivers because of the high fuel costs and how much gas is used to stop and start again. Careful if you are headed west this weekend.

See you tonight at Wine After Work at Tannins Wine Bar in the Sandstone Plaza next to Cowgirls! The party gets started at 6PM.

Have a great weekend!
Mike and Kate
