Dad 309: Congratulations, Josh!

(Dad checks in with a brief post today. Enjoy!  ~  Tracy)

Derf Here! Another beautiful spring day.

Forgot to write my post earlier today so it will be done quickly and will be very short.

Week started with whole family attending Josh's graduation. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Congrats to Josh and the class of 2016. Just a note: Aunt Kim watched Josh's graduation as it was streamed. Amazing!

Tomorrow we will attend a state playoff game in baseball as Gorham comes to Scarborough. Hope to win and play again Saturday.

I should have done a better job tonight and will try better next week. Tune in to see. I've got several projects on tap.

Until next time!

Toodle Pip!

Congratulations, Josh!

We attended Josh's high school graduation last night.

I took an 11-second video as he marched in. Below is a frame from that video. (You can see a smiling Papa and Grandma in the leftmost part of the picture, although they are a little blurry.)

Congratulations, Josh!

Lew's Logbook: I Wasn't Gonna Go

There are a limited number of tickets available for Scarborough High School’s graduation ceremony.

My nephew Josh is graduating and his mom had enough tickets for the grandparents and Tracy.

A couple days ago I was informed that Debbie had managed to get two more tickets, so now I’m in.

Sometime today Tracy said something about going to graduation tomorrow night.

I said, “It’s tomorrow night?”

She said, “YES! You didn’t know that?”

“No, I didn’t know that because I wasn’t gonna go...."

But now I am.  :)

(PostScript by Tracy: I'm glad you are going, Lew! And remember... it's tomorrow night!!)

Lew Sews

Here are two text messages I received from Lew today, along with accompanying photos:

Mouse on life support.

Surgery was a success!

Do you think our kitties might be a little bit spoiled? Ha ha!

We Interrupt This Blog....

Today's post has been preempted by lack of interest.... The lack of interest is on my part, hopefully not that of my readers!

All of my creative juices were poured out at work today. It was a good day, but it was long and crazy. ("Crazy" seems to be the operative word this week.) I've got nothing left....  But that's what a good night's sleep is for!

Nite-Nite!!!

Dad 308: Busy, Busy, Busy!

(No wonder Dad needed a nap! Enjoy his post! ~ Tracy)
 
Derf Here! Enjoying another beautiful sunny day. What a week!
 
Watched Josh pitch a shutout Saturday. Won 1-0. Watched Josh drive in the winning run on Tuesday. Won 4-3. Finished regular season at 13-3. Now the playoffs! Good luck to the team.
 
Spouse was able to see both games. Took Spouse to hairdresser today. Cindy did a masterful job on Spouse's silver hair. On the way home from hair appointment we stopped by KFC for the rest-of-the-day eats.
 
Lew installed the house's air conditioners today. Of course he had serious help from Jerry. It is great to have helpers.
 
Next big thing we hope to accomplish is the graduation of Josh.
 
So you see we have been busy as we try to get ready for our August wedding trip to Illinois. Please keep up the prayers for Spouse (Mary Lou) as we hope she rehabs to make this trip. It is looking good.
 
This seems to be enough for today. I also had an afternoon nap today. Does it get any better? So....
 
Until next time!
 
Toodle Pip!
 
Derf!
