As we begin this evening the music background from the Melka FD greeting is playing. Hope I can type fast enough to keep up with the swinging rhythm.!!
Appreciated all the good wishes, calls and cards which reached us today. At lunch at Potters lake with the LO'Cs learned that neither Bridget or Colin were able to caddy today which is frustrating after rising early.
Thanks to each of you for the greetings.
Learned in a phone message that Mark had his gang biking in Madison. David and all the boys competed with go-carts at a track near Fond du Lac. Michele and David played a lot of tennis with David's sister and her husband. Kevin and Declan were selling frisbees to support the Ultimate team at a street stand in Maplewood. Matt left an early message that they hoped to do some biking, but when he called they decided to do some mountain area hiking north of town and that Freya did quite well on her own feet on
gravel and paths which weren't too steep.
Didn't think to ask Matt whether the mystery of the dead prey in the privy has been solved.
Both Maura and Susan's recent blog items may have elements of some great movie or TV special, Mark.
Some of David's job frustrations could add another twist.
Our day at Mark's last Saturday for Domino's party seemed to be very relaxed for everyone and it was great to be able to share in her excitement and success. Any gathering which features 10 of our grandchildren (and Scout) on one afternoon has to be a winner! Pleased that Maura and Tim were able to bring both Alex and Nemo from Madison. Only Stephen and Cooper were missing from the WI families. A number hadn't seen all the progress Mark has made with the house and they were impressed.
Thanks, Mark, for all your preparation!
The graduation the following day was a very orderly and impressive ceremony. The streets and homes had to have been completely empty in the vicinity as the gym was full and the whole campus was a parking lot--and the weather was great, too. We all found one another for some pictures after the closing. Calvin had an offical role with this trombone, too!
Despite the heat this past week, work progresses in the yard. We've had to water a couple of days. Weeds really got a head start so there has been a lot of attention to them, particularly in the flower area we are encouraging along the back lot line. Another day or two should have that area pretty well "creeping charlie"--the major culprit, cleaned up. Hope to get at
putting new rings of chips around the bases of all the trees using all the load we salvaged from the basswood tree which blew down last fall.
Looking forward to seeing our NJ and CO family members in a few days.
Had hoped to use a prize we won at last years Kohler Art Fair during next week. It was a cruise on the Sheboygan harbor ship. Called during the week and learned that the vessel's engine had blown-up so a trip to the ship yard in Manitowoc was needed. Our coupon was to expire 6/30, so they have added a month--so it looks like it will be a July event!
Past bed time! Love and prayers, Mom and Dad
