Busy Days

Neal and I have been doing a lot. Neal has taken up tennis as his new sport. Unfortunately I am not very good. Last weekend we headed up to Cleveland to see DJ's, Neal's nephew, graduate high school. We are very proud of him! We managed to get up to Elyria early to have a Schmity Burger. It is the best burger in town.

Oh yeah, I almost left out the most exciting part. A bird dropped a present on my lip. I asked Neal to clean it off and he smeared it everywhere. It was gross. Luckily we do not have a picture of this!


This weekend Neal had to work all day Saturday. I headed up to Cleveland with Mom and Mike to go to Dawn's wedding reception. Dawn is my oldest friend. We grew up on the same street and I feel like a part of her family. Dawn provided me with a lot of cell phone support during the last couple of years. I think my "other" family is starting to believe Neal is my pretend husband since he can never make any events. We are going to be visiting with Dawn and Brian in Pittsburgh in July. Neal will be there for sure. Congrats to Dawn and Brian! We are looking forward to getting to know Brian better in July.



Sunday, Neal and I headed to Cleveland to see his Uncle Greg. Uncle Greg had open heart surgery on Monday and is doing great. The noises at the hospital brought back a lot of bad memories, however it was nice that Neal was not the patient. Uncle Greg had one of his valves replaced with a cow valve. It really is amazing what doctors can do. I am not sure I understand how they do not all have a god complex.

We have a busy week planned and a camping trip set for next weekend. As you can see Neal is putting a lot of miles on our cars and on our legs. Neal's follow up with the oncologist is on Tuesday, so please think good thoughts. We will post after the appointment.

Nele, if you have access to a pool (that allows pets), you should take up water polo. It is a unique experience to get to ride a horse on water.
