I'll try to catch some of the happenings that I've missed here lately (as we say down home). First, today is Pete and Janet's 51st wedding anniversary! Congratulations on the occasion. Pete got her flowers. It took him 51 years to get romantic. Janet was going to bake him a rhubarb pie. They were going out to dinner with the kids and grandkids this evening except for Kelly who lives too far away. Have a wonderful time.

Last Sunday (May 25) was Sabrina and Shirley's birthdays. Neither wanted me to post their age so I am obliging. Just say they're both over 21.

Margaret went back to the doctor last week because she was having some swelling and pain in her broken ankle area. The physical therapist sent her. The doctor sent her for some more tests (an ultrasound) because he was afraid there was a blood clot forming. The tests didn't show a blood clot so he put her on some antibiotics and sent her home. She is still having a lot of pain but the swelling is some better. The surgeon will see her again next week. She is scheduled for physical therapy again on Tuesday.

We had the boys until Thursday when we met Scott at the 130 mile marker over in Illinois to drop them off. They kept us busy. We had 4 kids at the lake this weekend (Jalen, Brayden, Lukas, and Josie). Except for Josie I think none of them could remember to shut the door when they went in or out. This included some of the big kids. I don't know how many times I yelled "Shut the door" or "Dry your feet". Doug is thinking about putting a screen door with a spring that shuts the door by itself to save my voice,.

Goldman is out of school on Wednesday, the 4th until the 11th. He and I will head down to the lake as soon as he gets out is finished next Wednesday. Sandi will arrive from Portland on the 11th and there's lots of things she wants to do. Maudie is coming too but hasn't firmed up her plans yet.

Joe and his kids made the rounds on Memorial Day. Muzzy's was closed so they couldn't have lunch there. I'll have Rose post his email.
