Hello using Lucita Grenade!!
Flash: Early call this morning from Susan letting us know that Bridget was having an emergency appendectomy at the Burlington Hospital. She called again after we returned from mass to say that the operation was successful and that Bridget was resting. We expect to hear more later and will presume that Susan may wish to provide more details when she has time.
We were to be joining them this evening to attend a banquet honoring area (maybe Walworth County)high school graduating seniors in Elkhorn.
Some of you learned from you phone visits with Mom this week that we attended a wedding of Steven Farrell ( Pam and Craig's
second oldest) in Chicago last evening. It was held at the Newberry Library, an historic institute/structure on the near North side. We drove down in the PM and arrived in good time for the 6 PM event, followed by a reception and splendid
sit down dinner/program which was still in session when we left at 10 PM. The other 3 sons, Michael, Christopher and Timothy were in the wedding party. We had good visits with them and they were especially interested in learning about Lyn and Kevin's family whom they learned to know when we all
visited the Farrells twice while they still lived west of South Orange in NJ. The boys remember us as we had followed their growing up as we visited Pam and Craig over the years in the Atlanta, Washington, DC, NJ and Toronto areas before they moved to the Milwaukee area. In fact, we learned of Magdalena's birth when we visited them in Atlanta those "many" years ago--right, Magdalena?
Will be busy the coming week "commuting" to our WREA Convention in Oconomowoc at the Olympia Resort. It begins tomorrow with a Board of Directors' dinner. Driving back and forth each day will allow Mom to skip two part day activities and tend to things at home and be part of the major events on Wednesday, particularly and the Monday night dinner.
Got lots of work done in the yard/garden area last week. Good weather. Got all the leaves caught in the snow while we were in France last fall either burned or hauled to the village compost pile and transplanted a lot of perennials we've been raising the the back areas to some of the plots around the house and in the front. Guess it won't be much over 50 any day this week so there may time to get the raised beds planted after the convention duties.
mom.s turn--After the long drive yesterday we were happy to find our destination and relax during the wedding. Much visiting until dinner time. The young men are interested in music much as our boys are, and would be interested in talking and listening to them so we might be able to work out something this summer.We'll work on it. Dad is anxious to get this off to you so I will close and wish everyone well , especially Bridget. Birthdays coming up soon --love to all
