May happenings.

Eve and Adley came for a visit. Here she is pulling her suitcase throughout security in NJ.



































































































Pony ride.

















Going home after a great five days with the grandparents.








We had to miss grandparents day at CDS. Joel and Nancy stepped in for us.


























I have not had a wedding band that fitted, since my fingers got deformed with arthritis. I felt funny and not quite married. Jack thought it was silly. But I needed a wedding band that fitted. So this is the new one. It is white gold and fits around the diamond engagement ring. I feel so much better now.












Happy Birthday to Stuart. 55 years old








Elaine also had a birthday. Notice how my cake is a mess. The top layer slipped off the bottom one while being carried and the icing got all messed up.








Father daughter dance with the Brownies.








The VH went to the beach for Memorial Day.



































We went to CDS for a event for Nathan. The kids did roots on different states. He did West Virginia. We are so proud of him he is doing great in school. He works slower but gets the work done and correct. Nathan's reading is above grade level.

















It is dance recital time. We went to MD to see Sadie dance three times. Emmett did two dances. They were great.


























Two sets of grandparents. Jim and Beth VH

















Jack and I went to Downtown Pgh. So much has changed and so much is gone. The four department stores, Kaufmanns, Gimbles, Hornes and SFA are all gone. We one have a low rated Macy. There are apartments and many new places to eat. This is the Mellon Pavilion that was finally improved. It was falling apart and the city had no money to rebuild it.









Stuart and Linda Miller had a celebration brunch for the recent marriage of their son Aaron to LuiMei. It was nice to see their family so happy. Baby Clarence was there with his parents Jesse and Ryan. He is a beautiful child.









I sitting in the backyard taking on the phone and I saw this black snake on the other chair. I had to start screaming. I do not like snakes. If you look at his center, it is fat. So he has just eaten something.











April news.

Bernie Pennock died from heart and diabetes. He was in PGh for months and getting weaker each week. He was a kind, gentle, smart man. He will be missed by all. The P were an extension to our family. He was a quiet man. Always watching his beloved Kathy with a smile on his face.



The K family came to visit for a week. Not good weather but we still had a good time. The first two days were beautiful and warm. They went to the beach. Then the weather changed.
We went to a neighbors home. He has a man cave filled with toys.










We celebrated Nathan's 9th birthday by making a cake. It was such a success that we make a second one the next day.





Mollie Got to sing with Greg Russell. She made him a sign.






Always there is the eating of ice cream. That is superman ice cream. It is different colors but the same flavor.


The men rented a deep sea fishing boat.





Fish caught in creek.


Jack and Nathan fishing in the tidal creek.


Waiting to drive home at 6:00 AM.


Mollie cut her hair, bangs herself. So she went to get an professional cut and I like the look.


We went to Savannah for the day.


The Lewis and Weinstein came for a visit.


I celebrated my 68th birthday.


The G family went to AZ for spring break. They went on long hikes, swimming and Eve got pampered. Dave, Maya and Holden went to the Grand Canyon and hiked into it.





The VH family went to Disney for the 10th time.

This is our bike group.. We look like a bunch of old farts. But we do have fun together.


We were invited to the wedding of our friends Frannie and Artie Behrens.
Held at Charleston Place in Charleston, SC. It was fancy and lovely.








The ceremony was held at the Jewish temple right across the street.
