Hello everyone! I know we have all been busy doing what we do but I wanted to let you all know that I put in for a planned happy hour at Teakwooks on Ray and Kyrene a couple weeks ago.  I haven't heard anything yet but I am sure I will soon.  I will keep everyone posted.  I hope some of you guys can make it.  Shelley

Hey everyone! We went over to our friends house for New Years and I brought some MGD64 to share with them.  So, here are a few pictures. Hope everyone had a great time too!  I still couldn't attach the pictures except as attached files. Oh well.

It was nice to meet everyone the other day and I wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year!  I will be taking some MGD64 over to a friends house tonight so I will have some pics to post later.  Also, Tanya if you can send me that site to make my pictures show up that would be great. Talk to everyone soon and lets get together soon for a beer. Shelley

I hope everyone had a nice weekend, and I wanted to share a few pictures with everyone. We had a party at our house this last friday and we played rockband and had an elephant gift exchange. It was a good time and I shared some MGD64 with some friends who have alreayd tried it and some that have not. I got mixed reviews. Usually the people who like import beers think this beer taste like water, but overall people were willing to try it. Talk to everyone soon. Shelley

Hello Everyone! I see what Tanya means about other blogging cities. I think we are all doing a good job keeping everyone informed and I agree. Keep it up! Well anyways...last Saturday was the Tour de Tucson in Tucson and I did the 66miler and I finished it in 4 1/2 hours. I thought I might of been able to finish it sooner but the last 16 miles was a killer. My husband did the 109 miler in 5 1/2 wow! He was going for Gold which is under 5hours. He almost made it. I think about 6 to 7000 people do this every year. It was fun but I was tired when I was done. I would of wore my yellow jersey top but I needed pockets for this long ride...so I attached a couple pictures of me and my friend Christine who did the 66miler together. Also, I added a picture of me getting ready to go on our weekly Saturday ride (the saturday before) with the Phoenix Metro Bike club. I decided to put my yellow shirt on over my longsleeve until I got warm and I did get a couple people asking me about the beer, in which I told them I had coupons back at the truck. Hope everyone has a happy holiday...and hopefully we can get together soon for another happy hour. Shelley

Hello all! I am suppose to be having a happy hour at Teakwoods Tavern in Chandler on Kyrene n Ray this coming friday Nov. 7th., but I still need to hear back from Brian on the details. I will try calling and emailing him again and as soon as I get the info I will let everyone know.  Lets hope this works out.  I sent in the event planning form via email on Oct. 22nd and I am still waiting. 

So, how was everyones Halloween?  We had fun at a friends party and I have attached a couple of pictures.  I brought some the the mgd64 with some coupons and most everyone thought it was pretty good for a low calorie beer.  Talk to everyone soon. Shelley

Hello all! I have spoke with a few of you and I am excited to meet and hang out at various events. My welcome kit is nice but no hat for me either. Today I did the 5k Frank Kush fun run in Tempe and I was 2minutes better than last year. (27:14) Yippie. I have attached a picture of me before the run started.

I am planning a quick happy hour for next Wednesday 10/22 at 5:30pm. I know it is short notice but it is across the street from my store Trader Joes and hopefully a few of you guys can come so we can meet and discuss future fun events. The sports bar is called CK's Tavern and Grill. 4142 E. Chandler Blvd.Ste 105. Basically, east of 40th st and Chandler in Ahwatukee. The happy hour at CK's is from 3pm - 7pm. and they have discounts on all bottle and draft beers during this time. I am recruiting people from my store and some friends to show up. Hope to see you there! Shelley

Hello everyone! I will go ahead and tell a little about myself too. I live in Chandler, AZ and I am a manager at Trader Joe's (Ahwatukee location). I do work alot but I find time to go to the gym (La Fitness) and cycle on Saturday's with my husband James and some friends for a local bike club. (Phoenix metro bike club) Also, me and my friends do enjoy going to happy hour at various places quite frequent. For example, Kona at the Santan is a spot for us.

What I have coming up? I am running in the 5k next Saturday 10/18 for the Frank Kush foundation at Tempe town lake. Then on November 8th is the Breast Cancer Walk, which Trader Joe's has multiple teams put together from a few stores. Then on November 22nd is the Tour de Tucson. They have a 109, 80, 66, or 35 mile route depending upon each individuals endurance level. I will be doing the 66 miler and my husband and his brother Herb will do the 109. This will be my first year doing this but my husband and Herb did it last year and they did it in 5hours and 10 and 20 minutes. If you do it under 5 hours you receive platinum, which they are striving for this year. Is anyone interested in joining me in any of these events? Also, I look forward to hearing about other events from others so I can possibly attend.

Hope to hear from everyone soon! Shelley
