Today was Elyse's birthday so we headed over for the celebration and stopped on the way to buy a couple of bookcases at Ikea. Ellie loves sushi so her request was for dinner at a Japanese steakhouse near them. We went over early to help with some chores and beat the dinner crowd. I moved the

We drove up to New York state to visit with Alesa's cousin Ronda and her husband Denny. We haven't seen them for a year and we wanted to check out the progress they have been making in converting their camp on Lake Sacandaga to a home. Ronda also had some things from her mother, Alesa's Aunt He

Today was Bridget's birthday and Mothers' Day. We drove to Mike's in the morning and then to Jeff's in the afternoon. A 130 mile round trip but well worth it. In addition to honoring the mothers and celebrating Bridget's 7th, we finalized plans for Camp Nana-Papa this summer. We will be leavi

Yesterday we drove down to McGaheysville, Virginia to help celebrate Alesa's cousin, Mary Hulvey's, 90th birthday. We got to Harrisonburg at around 3 and checked into the Marriott near James Madison U. We had a suite so I wasn't sure I was going to be able to blast Alesa away from the room and

We left for Erie Sunday morning taking our old TV to Bob and Cathy. Since the last one fell over in the back of the truck we were especially careful in loading it this time and were very happy when it made it in mint condition. The weather was good and we had a great visit as all three of the '

We celebrated Easter today, a day early as is our usual custom so the kids don't have to rush between families. We started with a late lunch/early dinner and the grandkids opened their gifts, new clothes plus a cocoa crispies Easter basket made by Nana and filled with candy. Bridget tried on he
