From what I have seen on facebook it looks like John is feeling better. He's in his own room now. He up and walking around and texting on his phone. Steve talked to him and he's looking forward to vacation next weekend. Nine days but who's counting. I don't think John will be fishing this vacation, but If anyone could find a way he would.
On a sad note our Land Lord Val Sellers passed away. We are shocked and saddened ,we didn't know him well but we did know he was a very likeable and genuine fellow.

We'll continue to send our love and prayers for his speedy recovery.

Preseason Hockey Game
This is another first experience.Adrienne wanted to go to a preseasoned hockey game at the Verizon center. Adrienne got Steve and I ticket for 7pm section 119 row F we were 2 rows from the glass, for $25 I really like hockey. It's fast ,lots of action. It's easier to follow than other sports. Anyway, the Buffalo Sabers won 2-1 .Very cool. I'd go again if she wanted to.

Happy Birthday Patrick
Patrick has to work on his birthday on Tuesday so we gave him his gift today.We gave him a St. Patrick's metal. Adrienne mentioned that he has wanted one for a while now. April 24 we went shopping at the catholic store for Maddie's baptism gift. and we found it.
It was hard to hold on to it for so long but, It taught me Patience. I'm not convinced Adrienne was able to keep it quiet. I think he really loves it. He put it on right away. Sorry I didn't get it Engraved but I think he will remember we gave it to him.

108th Cook Family Reunion
We drove from No.VA to Erwinna Pa. Early Saturday morning. It was a 4hr. drive. We had the reunion at the Tinicum Park Polo Club.Philadelphia Mag. rated it #1 among the the best things to do in Bucks County http://www.tinicumpolo.org/
Cousins Jay and Cathy Cooke with an "e" It's a long story. They were both wonderful hosts of the 108th reunion and gave us badly needed shade and a quick lesson on the game of polo. We enjoyed a lot of great food.
Honorable mention goes to Ann for her yellow water melon yes, really. I didn't get a pic but it was tasty. We talked and laughed all afternoon. This was Miss Maddie's first of many reunions.( photo's to follow) She was dress to kill in a lovely pink and white outfit with a sweet pink floppy sun hat. Love.... it!!!
We stomped divots at half time. Liz looked like Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman". We did forget the Champagne, crystal stemware and our porcelain cake platter. I'll know now for next time. I can check this off my list as being one of the "things to do before I die" Very Cool indeed!

Last minute reunion plans
Dave came home from school exhausted. We took him to the Dr.s for his first med check.Then went out to dinner.Adrienne and Patrick came over to discuss tomorrows reunion events in Phillie Pa.I'm spending my night cooking. No my evening but my night we just figured out what we wanted to bring . I thought chili and corn bread would be good. my sister-in-law Ann decided to be an over achiever and make pasta salad, cake and watermelon. I couldn't let her make it all. although it crossed my mind.LOL.
I don't know what Jess and Mom are bringing, probably something yummy too. I considered copping out after my accident at work. I slid on a non slip mat, can you believe it? It was an almost split. I couldn't even do one as a Kid. The floor got wet under the mat and one foot stayed on the floor and the other on a moving mat. everything in my body tightened, especially my back. I reported it to Angel the head nurse but she couldn't find the forms for an accident. I'll do it Monday when Joy gets back from California.

I think to the back porch for a cigar. bet ya!
The Exorcist House
Steve found the Exorcist house on google earth. Last night after work Steve and I went for a ride. We went to George Town to see the exorcist house on prospect street. It was a scary looking house especially at night. Actually, the entire street is spookyThe stairs the priest fell down was scarier. I kept my distance.

I got to see the unicycle lady, the TV faces and the Tony's again. It was very hot and sunny, so it got uncomfortable fast. We spent much of the time inside.Patrick and Adrienne joined us Andrea and Liz came with us.

Kennedy Center open house
We had a wonderful day at the Kennedy Center's open house. We drove the new car to DC, it handled very well in traffic. We sawstrolling proformers like "The Toney's" half man half puppet very cool," Macadam panio"(piano on wheels). In the Eisenhower Theater we saw the L'Arsenal `a Musique The Ark it ws a fasinating show . I've never seen a show like it. I'd love to see more entertainment like it.
We stopped at a little coffee shop next to the north plaza called Cupa Cupa they had great sandwiches. Steve has the Italian sub I has the turkey and cranberrry sub. They has a Indian sub with a mango chutney and turkey. I thought of Andrea.
Park on the north side of building thats the rightside. parking is $10.00, instead if $18.00 in the Kennedy Center parking garage. Tomorrow off the the French embassy for a day of entertainment and good food.
