Happy Fall to all of you-----
Must begin by thanking Casey and Matt for sending their news and the great picture of Freya and the
"kitchens" we had seen her greet when we went to the
farm with them. So pleased, too, with the report on Freya's progress at Montessori school. It was good to have the phone visit with Matt with additional details.
Glad he, Casey and Freya will have a nice Thanksgiving
break in Arvada. Good luck, Casey, on your job pursuit.
Bridget called late this afternoon from Green Bay where she had just completed the regional golf meet. She finished in second place and gained a spot in the state tourney which will be played next weekend
in Madison. It was an exciting call for all of us , we
believe!
We are off in the morning for some more "grand-daughter" experiences. Praying that there will be perfect weather on the Housatonic River near New Haven, CT where we hope to be able to see Magdalena
row in a big regatta. Should be with Lyn, Kevin and
Declan by Thursday evening and then drive with them
early Saturday to the regatta. There won't be much opportunity to visit with Magdalena because she will
be involved, but Kevin believes we will have some time to see her before her 2 PM event if not afterward.
Saturday night we will drive to a motel in Danbury, CT which is fairly close to Domino at Vassar in Poughkeep-sie. Her schedule is open enough that we can spend some time with her before she has a play rehearsal--
probably, "The Tempest". We are looking forward to
being with both of these young women in their
surroundings!
Sunday evening should find us back in South Orange.
We will have to start home on Monday as Grandma is
involved with a series of physical therapy sessions for
some left shoulder discomfort, and the fifth is on Wednesday morning, 10/10. She is already feeling
relief, so does want to conclude the treatment as soon
as possible.
I was in Baraboo last week for a retired educators' meeting and had a visit at Melkas for a few minutes with them and learned some of the details of Alex's job at Christmas Mountain where he with the Time Share program. Learned from David in a call that Charile now has an important spot with a school drum group.
Kevin told us last night that we might be able to hear Declan with a music group on Friday night. Colin did well enough in a golf event that his team won a trip to play in another golf activity in Las Vegas. So this
blog submissiom isn't just about granddaughters!
Grateful, too, for the recent blog additions by Michele and Susan. There have been calls from both of them this week, too.
The Thanksgiving get-together for those of you who will be in Arvada will be something for which we can all be especially thankful!!
Grandma has already told some of you what we have arranged to do on the day after Thanksgiving. It is to be a trip to France for about 13 days where we will have a 9 day river cruise on the Rhone from Lyon to Arles (about 250 miles) and then a 3 night extension at a hotel in Aix-en-Provence where we will do some local touring, as there will be at various city stops along the river. We will fly round trip on Air France from O'Hare to Paris; a flight on then to Lyon. Returning we will fly back to Paris from Marseilles early enough on 12/4 to be back in Chicago that afternoon. This package is provided by the same company we were with 2 years ago, Grand Circle Tours.
Love and prayers, Grandma and Grandpa
