Father's Day

Yesterday we went to Kathy & Spyros' for Father's Day. Jason, Connor & Jillian, Sue & Bob and my parents were also there. Spyros, Bob & Jason took Connor, Jillian & Paul tubing. Before it was over, Bob & Jason joined them on the tube. :-)  We had a great time and Connor & Jillian didn't want to leave.  :-)

Rock on!

Oops...Jason's in the drink...

Grandpa had to show the kids that he may have turned 66 on Friday,

but he can still keep up with the young ones!

Hang on, Grandpa!

Wipeout!  Jillian & Paul overboard.

Connor stayed on...

My Dad with his "Cannoli Cake".  M-m-m-m!!!

Sue's Fundraiser Luau

On Saturday, they had a fundraiser Luau Dance at the Waterford Eagles for my older sister, Sue.  She found out in December that she had bladder cancer and has been going through treatments and does not have health insurance.  The fundraiser was a huge success, with 192 people attending.  They also had a bake sale 2 weeks ago that raised over $1,200.00.  Sue has helped so many people for so long that it's about time the favors were returned.  Good Karma!

They had a couple of professional hula dancers come in and perform.  My Dad's head never moved while they were dancing.  When my Bob & Kathy took them home, my Dad was doing the hula in his wheelchair and singing "Blue Hawaii".  :-)  He was still doing the hula yesterday at Kathy's.

It's Been A While!

I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted on here.  I noticed that my last post had us heading into Oklahoma for 3 days.  Well...that 3 days turned into a week because Bob ended up in the hospital.  He woke up Monday morning with what we thought was the flu.  I took him to the hospital in Gainesville, TX (10 miles away) and he was admitted.  He finally was released on Thursday evening.  He was so dehydrated that they gave him 8 IV bags of fluids.  They said it was a viral infection.  They even gave him morphine shots on Wednesday night because he had such bad abdominal pains. 

We stopped in Little Rock, AR and visited the Clinton Library.  We also stopped on the way there in Hope, AR and visited his boyhood home.  After that we went to Natchez Trace State Park and met up with some friends for 5 days.  It was nice to sit a few days and relax. 

After NTSP, we went to Batesville, IN for a week and then we finally made it back to Michigan on May 17th.  We've spent a few weekends with the grandkids and it's been fun.  We were shocked at how much they've grown in 8 months.
