Hi everybody...it's been awhile. Our house has been a continous wave of end of year activity. The girls last day of school is tomorrow! Megan's taking finals this week, and getting ready for her volleyball tournament at the Nationals in Orlando Florida. They played extremely well in Louisville over the Memorial Day weekend. Nicole has 5th grade graduation tomorrow morning and will officially be a middle schooler. She has joined the moneymakers in our house and has been very busy being a mother's helper in the neighborhood.
Jena had her end of year choir concert where she was one of four students (out of about 200) to receive an award for her musicianship. She is singing in the end of year talent show tomorrow. Okay, enough bragging about my girls...I am one worn out Mama between awards banquets (track, volleyball, choir, etc), end of year girl scouts (yes this is my twelfth and final year as a leader), piano recitals, volleyball tournaments, track meets, homework, etc. I am looking forward to summer when I won't be babysitting 50 hours a week...maybe I'll get my house cleaned finally:):):) Tish...I also did not get any house cleaning done when we got home on Sunday.
This weekend, Jim and I are taking the girls for a long weekend with two neighbor families to a lodge at the Wilds...(safari type place associated with Columbus Zoo). We will have our own little lake with kayaks, canoes and motor boats. It will hopefully be a long weekend of napping by the water, and hanging out by the bonfire. I'm looking forward to it immensely. Unfortunately, that means we will miss all the graduation parties...I'll be thinking about Luke and Joe and all of their parents!
Tish updated you all on our visit to Mama and Papa. I heard from the Forum that hospice brought Mama over to see Papa yesterday, (Monday)...and that they were holding hands and laughing together. Rich is taking Papa's hearing aid in today to get it looked at. On Sunday, he couldn't hear anything at all. It was very frustrating for all of us, (especially him). I am still waiting to hear back about Mama's tooth. They have no idea how it happened...but Sandy is working on getting Mama an appointment with a dentist to get it fixed. She will arrange for a driver, and an aide to go with Mama for the visit. Mama is very disturbed by her chipped tooth, and really wants to get it fixed.
Mama also became enthralled with my watch during our visit. She said she wanted one just like it. Of course, I had to give it to her...(you know me, it was a cheap little Timex)...You would have thought I had given her the moon. She was laughing, and saying Thank you over and over. She kept showing everyone her new watch. It was very sweet and somewhat comical. I'm sure she's lost it by now, but it made her very happy in the moment. Now I need to buy a new watch...I'm going crazy without one :)
Tish and I also visited Lita in the hospital on Sunday. She is back at home as of Monday night. She is tired of all the medical issues in her life and I can't say I blame her one bit! She would love to hear from any family...In case any you don't have it, her new phone number is 614-766-7886. Her new address is 3242 Newgate Ct. Dublin, Ohio 43017.
I think that is all the news I have. Sorry it's been so long, hopefully things will slow down next week.
Love to all,
Kate
