Tuesday, July 26,2011











As you can tell, I have been remiss in writing the blog since we left to come home to visit. We arrived at Gina's (our daughter) house on Friday morning. We got to see half of our grandchildren on Friday. Jeff (our son) called Friday night and said his air conditioner wasn't working. That's not a good thing. It's wicked hot here and they had weekend guests. Murphy's Law. It was too late to get parts, so John waited until 6:30 A.M. on Saturday morning and went out to help him fix it. It needed a new fan motor and a capacitor and was fixed by noon.


We had to make an emergency run out to John's aunt's house because she had fallen and couldn't get up. She ended up in the hospital. Then we went to Jay's (our other son) house to see them. We went out to dinner with all of our children and grandchildren, and our son-in-law. Both of our daughters-in-law were occupied with out of town high school friends. It was wonderful to see them all. We will be seeing them all a lot while we are here.


Sunday there was a Mass for my Dad at Little Flower. After Church, my brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, daughter, two grandchildren, and my mom went out for breakfast. After breakfast, we went back to Mom's for the afternoon. Before going back to Gina's, we took a ride out to our old harbor and visited with a few of our boating friends. It was nice to see them. We are planning to spend the weekend with them all in August.


Yesterday I spent the afternoon with my Mom. It would have been their 58th wedding anniversary. Today is the 7th anniversary of my Dad's death. We all miss him terribly. He was one heck of a guy and a great Dad!


Tonight we are going to see my friends from high school at Cindy's house. She has invited all of our families as well for a cook out and swimming. I'll try to be better about writing while we are home, but our schedule has been pretty full and fun.
