FAMILY FUN!!!!!! SOCCER FEST AND BROTHER BOB!!


FALL FUN!!!
Mom came to visit a couple weekends in a row! Thought you might like to brief through the pics. I wanted to get so many others....we ate at the Kast Hotel. It was a very nice evening. She sure can eat!!! Should have seen the look on her face when the waitress put the menu in front of her. She brought the cover into focus.....and her jaw dropped. I was watching closely...ready to explain.....I chimmed in...."Nice uhhhh......same restaurant....different place!" She smiled...."oh, that's cool!" I'll have to take her back there.....I so wish I would have taken a picture!!!

We went to our fair share of soccer events....just had to bundle her up. The pic below is from a game in Mifflinburg....was a particularly cold night!


BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.................


We drove to Penn State for a soccer game. We met John and Jake there and then she went to stay with them for a a few days. HEY LADY......WHERE IS MY COAT?????


AND>>>>>>>ARIC had a game too!!!!! The 2 of them are silly all weekend!!!!! If you could here their conversations!!! As if Aric "gets it all" they converse all day! He follows her around like Sally follows me. He's a much better "watch dog" than Alex. Mom came to visit this past summer and decided (behind my back) to "go for a walk." (because that is what she is use to doing daily).....So she walked down the driveway and passed Alex as he was driving up the driveway. He stopped....like a good boy...wished her good morning and asked where she was going...."For a walk" ......she replied! He smiled...."Have a nice walk mom-mom." You don't want to know what happened to Alex!
I also had the opportunity to take mom to see Uncle Bob and Aunt Marcia. We ran into Keith and Nancy at the Growers Market. They met us at Sycamore, where both aunt Marcia and Uncle Bob reside. It was a very nice visit.



Can't you just hear her! "What....they serve bourbon at this place....if they serve beer I'm movin in!"

Nancy and Keith brought some great photos to show mom. The one that mom is looking at has her mother and father, all three of her brothers and I believe Mom's grandmother. They were walking on the board walk....mom is very young. Its a great picture!!


Aunt Marcia hasn't been well. She was a trooper however, came down to the dining room with us and had cookies and juice.
Mom and Uncle Bob watching an oldy but goody!!!!!!!!! Anybody know what it is???

Mom accompanied Uncle Bob to lunch. She would make such a great companion to him!


Thank you Nancy and Keith for your time. It was an imortant milestone for mom! And Uncle Bob had a few good laughs!
