On Monday, we celebrated Helen J's 86th birthday. Our tradition is to buy the birthday "girl" a muffin or roll as part of the celebration. As it turns out, that person generally cuts it into small pieces and we all share (kind of like the loaves and fishes!). Joan always creates a personalized card on her computer and we all look forward to what she will come up with next.
Helen said she wants to live long enough to see the Democrats win the next election. Jodie, our resident Republican, suggested that might be the best reason for everyone to vote Republican!
The above photo is from one year ago at the Relay For Life Rally that the WT's hosted. Helen was one of the speakers telling us about her experiences fighting cancer. That year we all put Relay tattoos on our faces.
Lorraine is back once again. She and her husband were off to Great Lakes Naval Base for the graduation of their grandson. Davin grew up in Duluth and used to watch the ships come in to the Lake Superior harbor. He recognized all of the shapes of the ships. He was a Sea Cadet in Duluth and it seemed that he was destined to join the U.S. Navy. His goal is to be a Navy S.E.A.L. We wish him well and congratulate the proud family on Davin's accomplishments.
On Tuesday the group is going to lunch with Lil who moved about 15 miles from here. She seems to be enjoying her new apartment. Another WT, Jo, also lives there so, at least, Lil knows someone there. When we plan WT outings, we always include those who have moved.
Irene has been at coffee a couple of times. She is recuperating just fine from her foot surgery. In fact, she and her husband were out dancing on Saturday night!! We are a hardy bunch!
