Gone...for a few days


   Gone for a few days...
                   High speed weekend ahead...

Thursday evening 
we head down to see the family

 Friday
Attending a memorial service for my 
brother-in-law Bob
which would have been his 
70th birthday
This is Bob with my nephew Ken who is currently 
serving in the Navy.  I sent Bob this sweatshirt
for his birthday a couple of years ago. 
The name and number of the ship he served on 
is embroidered on it.
(I found an on line company that does
this special order. Militarygifts.com)
The USS John R Pierce, DD753 
a destroyer, in the 1960's...
and was there during the
(Bahía de Cochinos) Bay of Pigs Invasion
which led up to the
Cuban Missile Crisis.  

SATURDAY
On Saturday we finish packing up our 

daughters things
 and on Sunday we head 
to Grand Rapids to move her into 
her new apartment
 It's a duplex home
built in 1915
and has some great old
original cabinetry and
woodwork

Somewhere in the middle of this fast weekend 
I'll see my Mom and sisters.  
As usual I am in and out rather quickly...

I've been married for 33 years and lived
away from my family for all of them.  

I  also plan to spend
Thanksgiving and Christmas with them
this year...
250 miles each way!  

Back on Monday!

Hugs to all!
Liz

  3. Hey, little Liz! I'm really sorry to hear about your brother-in-law's passing. Please extend my condolences to your husband, as well. It's hard to lose a brother. I hope all went well with your trip. I love the photo you posted with that fabulous cabinetry!!! Wow...what wouldn't I do to have that in my home? :-) She's going to love it. It will be a wonderful experience for her, and it will give you guys another place to visit! Talk to you when you get back!
