Pat called me Sunday eve to say they bought a home in Oswego..it is about 25 minuts southwest of where Kathe lives and is actually on Highway 30. They are excited and he said he is so busy cannot blog for a while as they must be out of their home June 1 and then have one month to get into their other home... Gotta run to work But I am going to guess that Mary's birthday is around the 20th?? Does anyone know....?? Happy Birthday Mary and note my invite to you guys into Chicago on your way to St. Louis....
..Is everyone having trouble getting onto the blog? Mary C could not and Fred and then Ed..Write my email to let me know...I noticed I had to sign on just now and usually I do not have to....something changed and I will try to figure out.Love m
This is a test to see if I can get into the blog. Love Pat
ReplyDeleteWell that was easy! Is everyone hitting the Other or Anonymous button before you make your comments and then hitting publish your comments?
ReplyDeleteJust quickly to correct the record. We sold our house in Clinton after the first person went through it last week.
We have to be out of our house by May 30th. We got our offer accepted this past Sunday on a Duplex/Condo in Oswego, IL.
They cant be out before June 30th, So we move Twice. First to storage and after a Month to the Duplex.
When traffic is normal we can get to Kathe's in about 20 Min. Via Hiway 30. She lives South and East of our new home located just off Ogden (Hiway 34). Oswego is South and West of Aurora, IL (We are in the Western Suburbs).
As you can imagine MJ & I are in a daze and lost in Fear and Excitement. We are actually a bit old for all this. Please Pray for us. Bye and God Bless. Love, Pat & MJ
I will give this a try again to see how it works. I think Pat hit the nail on the head regarding what you must do to post on this site. By the way, so glad to hear Pat & MJ sold their old home and bought the new one. That is good news even though it is rough with the move but it will be worth it. Just to let you all know, every once in a while you feel like you have died and gone to Heaven. That is what we experienced this past weekend. We went to the home schoolers play "Fiddler on the Roof" which was directed by Becky and it had us in tears most of the night. The lead actor was only thirteen and it was the most professionaly done job you will ever see from a bunch of volunteers. Words cannot describe what we saw and we were not alone in that assessment. It was a touch of Heaven!! Then on Sunday, we attended the youth orchestra which included several grandchildren and it was just outstanding. Again directed by volunteers. Then Monday night we went to the Hoopla which is the Home Schoolers final show of the year whereby they perform for everyone to see their accomplishments. It was outstanding. It was all pretty impressive as they are closing out their school year. Now we have to prepare to take care of the Faraj children as Albert & Becky head for Rome. We do want to say Happy Birthday to Mary as June 20th is her birthday. Hope it is a blessed day for you and may you have many more. Love, Deacon Joe
ReplyDeleteHello all
ReplyDeletePatrick, it was not the posting I was having trouble with. It was opening the blog site. It looked like programing script. Happened a good dozen times.
Nothing big in N.E. Steve just got back from Vegas where he and a dozen or so of his friends had an early 40th B'Day bash. 36 rounds of golf daily!!
My shoulder is doing OK. Still very weak, but twice weekly rehab helps. Lindas' having knee replaced by same doctor who did my shoulder. Misery loves company!!
Tammy & Roy bought a new home and are moving in between May 15th & first of June. They are excited. I'm not helping with move!! Congrats to Pat & MJ on sell of home and good luck on new abode! Fred, I don't think Marys B'Day is June 20th. That is day after mine and I would remember that. Any way Happy B'Day Mary, whenever it is! Getting boat ready for launch. New interior should be done next week. We are excited about that. Linda wants to do Mas on Mothers Day then lunch and gambling at Foxwoods casino. Go figure.
Let me close by wishing you wonderful Mothers out there a wonderful and enjoyable Mothers Day.
Bro Ed
Ed, you are correct on Mary's birthday - I don't know why but I just had June on my mind. Her birthday is MAY 20th!!! Thanks for catching it Ed. Love, Deacon Joe
ReplyDeleteWell, good news to hear that Pat and MaryJo have found a new abode.Fun, Fun, with all that moving.
ReplyDeleteMary's letter said she would be at the lake house by her birthday, so wouldnt be available, but I hope she gets the news of her Birthday wishes anyway. Have a great one, Mary. It might be nice to have her address at the Lake house.
Edward, let us know the date of Linda's knee surgery so we can keep her in prayer.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL OF YOU MOMS! lOVE, Bonnie
