What will be referred to from now on as Jumers Weekend, Mary and Ed and Sue Fleege, Jo and Bob, Pat and MJ, Kathe, Julie and (her friend Bev) and of course moi got together this weekend for family time. Roseanne intended to join us but became ill over the weekend.
Pat and MJ hosted Fleeges incl Sue, and Jo and Bob, I hosted Julie and Bev....I can only say the part I was involved in so here goes: Bev and Julie arrived on Friday night and we ordered in Chinese food; we then got up Sat and hit Yorktown and then spent most of the day at Pat and MJ's visiting, eating ,laughing, drinking, celebrating Julie's Late birthday, and talking about everyone who was not there. We lucked out and got ahold of Fred to sing Happy Birthday to him. We also skyped with Tom and then Mike and saw his new grandson(adorable Luke). We checked on Mike's knee which he fell on and we are able to stay in touch as he begins to heal. On Sunday, the crew minus Jo and Bob (who left Dodge City due to snow) came over for wine and cheese and more Chinese Food. MJ made a great carrot cake...to die for...and other sundry desserts became part of the naughty weekend.
Tom just tried to skype me and the called got lost AGAIN...but it was good to hear from him... Columbus Day in October is the next Chicago Jumers Weekend..so anyone wanting to hit Chitown to meet up with us, please keep that date open.
The Snow piles were hight according to our guests but we had a great time any hoo..We watched some of the OPening of the Games....I have been to the Olympics and I will say, I enjoyed it just as much as if we were there....I will post some photos..especially of the FINE gifts that Julie received.....Without Trader JOe's by the way, where would we be?????Love you all mb
Peg, Thanks for sharing the family pics. Always great to see all of your smiling faces on the page. Sure would have liked to have heard what great joke had Julie and Mary cracking up with laughter. Bob and Jo look good and how great that they could join the gang for Julies birth. celebration.
ReplyDeleteIm three days, home from my rehab center and getting around well, now. Still learning how to maneveur several dishes and drink from the kitchen to the family room, so I can enjoy tv while a have my meal. Time and Patience are my allies these days. I have lots of church and neighborhood support, so that is good. Sarah and children visited often while I was hospitalized and in rehab, so I felt quite blessed. Hopefully I will be back to sing in the choir at church tomorrow. Thanks for sharing the family happenings, Peg. God Bless.
