Birthday and Sports Talk

Mom and I celebrated my 55th birthday (Phil was in Georgia on business) at Summer Trace with dinner and a very entertaining evening with Jake Query, WIBC Radio Sports Announcer, who spoke at Summer Trace August 18th.

Here's Betsy's birthday shot with Shannon Walsh, whose Dad is CEO of the Indiana Pacers, Betsy, and Jake Query of WIBC Radio Sports. (Mom declined to be in a picture.)

Jake was a VERY interesting speaker!

We had fun with Sports Quizzes and he had us all in stitches!

Mary wins again!

We had a lot of fun at Wednesday night cards at Summer Trace Aug. 13, 2008! Enjoy these videos:



I don't know why this one is not showing up.
It has a mystery guest! It will play though when you click on the arrow!

Rob, Shelli, T.J. and Jayda Came to Visit

Rob, Shelli, T.J. and Jayda came from Des Moines to visit us. That involved some fishing at our house - and yes, we caught a turtle!

And a few large mouth bass...


We spent Friday at the Children's Museum.


And had Italian at Mama Carolla's at 54th on the Monon.

T.J. and Jayda enjoyed hanging out with Gram at Phil and Betsy's.

Saturday we stopped to check out the new Lucas Oil Stadium on our way to the Zoo. (Gram passed on the Zoo exertion.)

T.J. and Jayda and Rob and Shelli all enjoyed petting sharks at the Zoo.

Gram rejoined us to watch her great-grandchildren enjoy a swim at Springhill Suites.

And for a cookout at Phil and Betsy's.

Phil, having returned from a business trip to Syracuse, got to enjoy the tail end of the fishing fun. We caught another turtle and named this one Sue.

One of Mom's Favorites

We stopped to get this photo of Mom with one of her favorite rehab therapists, Patrice, who had on a special costume for the Health Care Olympics on August 8th. We were on our way out to meet up with Rob and his family who were visiting that weekend.
