Graduation and MI visit 2011

Hi All,We arrived back in St. John safely and happy to be back. However, the weather in MI could not have been more beautiful. Evan and Bob even got in a round of golf. They had a great time together and I was happy to let that happen without being a part of that. Bob pulled up most of the carpeting in the condo and we are looking at putting down some cheap fake wood flooring when we go back, whenever that will be.

Drove to Bowling Green, OH where we met Herb and Kathy. Kathy was just behind us coming from MI and her "girls' getaway" weekend. We had a nice visit over lunch. It was too short. I love going to their place and seeing everyone there. Hopefully, next visit.

Graduation for Nathan was great. They graduated 10 of 25 students. We were totally overdressed for the occasion, but we can't help how we were brought up, now can we. We went to Amelia Island for lunch and a nice drive back in the rain. Nathan was so happy, as he told Laura, his girlfriend, that his family was there to share it. This is a rough crowd, the guys who work in this business. Marilynn and Rick had all the family over for a "low country boil" on Saturday and Marilynn told Nathan he could invite a couple of his dive buddies from school. We were 16 altogether. It was great!! Laura stayed until July 4 at Marilynn and Rick's and Nathan drove to LA for interviews a few days later. He is still waiting to hear as to employment. Should know something tomorrow.

Evan continues to thrive in his new job. He really likes having some money and loves working with the autistic adults. We are ecstatic as to his turnaround and especially the fact that he seems to be moving further and further away from the depression. Doesn't he look better???

Well, that's all the news for now. Have to go to work.

Let's get "bloggin' "

Love to all,

Betsy

Just Got In From Michigan

We just made it back from Michigan (Wed afternoon). We met Betsy and Bob just before the memorial service and then we all went. Good to see the family.

Then we went out to PF Changs for lunch with B&B and then back to Linda's for the afternoon. For dinner we met Dave and Judy Hudson (used to live on Negaunee) by Dave Hayden. Anyway, Hayden's at Eglin AFB in Florida, but Hudson's in Westland by Linda. We went and had a good fun time with old friends at a Coney Island.

Smornin' we just sat around and talked with Linda as Mike now has a job (after 3 years) and he had to work.

Bets, here's the airport info:
I looked at the map and we will be driving right through (in this order)

Charleston, WV
Charlotte, NC
Columbia, SC
Savannah, GA

So if you can get an inexpensive flight into one of these cities, that’s great!

We can leave as early as Thursday April 1st if it works better for you guys to fly on a “non-weekend”

Talk with you guys later,
