Mother's Day 2007

May 13, 2007 Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there.

We celebrated the day at Sueann's home in the South Hills. (picture by Cliff)It was a special treat with all four of us sisters, five of the neices and nephews and the little grand neice and grand nephew. It was a brunch with yummy egg dishes, sausage and Jen and Will popped the cork on the champagne.Jill and Nate arrived after running the Race for the Cure in Shenley Park with thousands of other. Stella was happy mom and dad got back. Cliff brought his computer and we were looking at pictures and movies of the day and of events past. Jessica and Rick watched his children, Drew and Jenna, play in the yard. We had news from Jen and Troy: They set their wedding date for September 7, 2008...enough warning so Van Go plans to be in Pittsburgh! Stella walked on rocks in the backyard creek. Silas hugged trees standing all my himself. Kathy presented Jen and Jill with glass blown slugs. (Picture by Cliff)The

house was full of people enjoying the day, catching up on news and entertaining the younger ones. (Picture by Cliff)It is great being a MOM. (Picture by Cliff)And a Sister.

Houston Fest Galax, VA

We arrived in Galax, VA and stopped at our friend, Harold's. He was just putting the finishing touches on a cake he made for his nephew.  Harold is great in the kitchen! Brenda arrived!  We had a nice meet and greet. We went to the school across the street with Brenda and Harold and met Linda who likes hugs. Each day the three of them and others from the community volunteer to prepare backpacks of food items for children who otherwise would good the weekend hungry. They have fund raisers to get money and purchase food items that children can manage for breakfast and lunch.  They also get donations.  There is a man in Florida that heard about their need for food so ships items from Amazon.com for them to distribute. They get everything organized then run an assembly line to package items. The bags are then sent to the classrooms where the teachers put them in the children's backpacks so that no one is called to any attention. Time to head to Houston Fest whose mission is to hon

Pandemic

 This has been a strange year. We arrived in Florida in March and have stayed home since. That is about 6 months now. The Covid-19 virus has set the world to be a different place with stay at home orders, restaurants and bars closed, shelves in the grocery stores empty of toilet paper and antiseptic good, virtual school and doctor visits, hospitals that don’t let visitors enter and no only emergency care, wearing a mask when you are in public and people staying six feet apart. Who knows what the new world will be like after this.

Update: morning started early with vitals checked every four hours, bloodwork ( interesting side note: you are given an IV port in the emergency room, but that port is not used to retrieve blood for any of the various tests once you are admitted. Instead someone comes and draws blood through a new prick hole each time. ).    I started taking a new pill, Imdur, that helps keep the arteries open. It gave me a terrible headache so I won’t be taking that again!    Went for a CT angio of the chest. Then I waited       It is now 3:00 and they are going to discharge me!!    Yippie. That was about three weeks ago. Since then life has made a 360. We bought a house!! A touchspot really because we still plan to travel. We bought a new to us PleasureWay!! We are scrubbing and painting the house. It is the best way to get to know your new space. And it makes it your own. I take it slow and sit more than I remember doing in days gone by, but we are just ma
