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!
