MAUREEN'S  UPDATE

There is nothing big scheduled for us this month. We have a wedding reception to go to labor day weekend but that's it. We may go to the fair one evening. I'm not a big fair goer and neither is Ed. I guess it's because we didn't go to the fair as kids like our O'Hara cousins did. We enjoyed the pig roast and we hope all of you enjoyed the day too. I told Ed last night that I wish we could adopt a family from the southern coastal region where there is so much destruction. I can't comprehend how I could handle losing a
loved one, my home and all my possessions in a matter of minutes. What a horrible situation for all those people. The wrath of God is merciless. Ed and I have been to New Orleans twice. We went there on our honeymoon and stayed in the Vieux  Carre' or the French Quarter. We were there again in 1998. We were never crazy about New Orleans and I guess there will never be another New Orleans as
we knew it.

JERRY'S  UPDATE

 

Yes we are now entering the the last phase of the summer of 05.

September and October are nature's way of  getting us ready for what is to come.

As we pick our tomatoes, peppers, beans and Pumpkins, Yes some of us have  Pumpkins , not me but some of us do, we get to enjoy the fruits of our summer labor just a little longer.  The Pig Roast was fantastic.  Lots of GOOD FOOD, and lots and  lots of people.  It was a very enjoyable day. Maureen mentioned in her update about The O'Hara Cousins spending a lot of time at the fair. Yes I can remember Uncle  Tom going everyday, some days just after work, and some days not going to work  and spending the day at the fair.  When I say day I mean from early morning to late  at night, but he really enjoyed it.

 

MESSAGE FROM TIM

Greetings, a lot has occurred since my last update when i wrote I had successful back surgery. Well I had to have the operation again because the disc re-herniated. This time everything went much better with the back. Unfortunately my vocal chord was paralyzed during  anesthesia and I couldn't speak above a whisper for 6 weeks. Miraculously, it came back one Thursday and all is well now. Denise is almost half way thru the pregnancy and has that glow about her, that everyone always says happens to expecting women. She is feeling well. The due date is Dec.1 which is closer than it sounds now that July is here. The kids are enjoying their break from school and will be coming  here to stay in a few weeks until school starts. Hopefully, the hot weather will continue so they can enjoy the pool. The first half of June was a sad time, remembering Mom and Dad. Even though Dad has been gone for 18 yrs, I still recall much of what happened in the days and nights before he died. Sometimes it feels like Mom is still here and I can just call or go over  Maureen's and visit for a while. I wish now, I had gone to visit her more than I did  but I guess that's a lesson one learns the hard way. Hope everyone has a Happy Independence Day. Stay safe and healthy and remember, lift heavy objects with your legs.

 

 

 

 

Melanie's report

 

   Hi guys, I'm so happy fall is finally here, it's been such a hot summer, fall is my favorite time. I dyed my hair brown, so if you see this chick that has brown hair and you think she looks like me, chances are it is me.    Everyone here is doing well, Tony is still roofing for Boak, Larry is back full time at the bus. Tara is fine, and Bonnie has begun homeschool again.   We put a new roof on a few days ago, we've needed one, so that's good.   I had a dream of mom and dad a few weeks ago, they were sitting on a couch and there was a man in a chair behind a desk, they didn't know I was there, I was doing that hover thing I do...so anyway, they were arguing with him over my soul. Turns out he was none other then SATAN!!!  yeah I know... creepy.  They wouldn't let him have me though, they fought for me, I was watching all this from "above".   I find it hard to believe the devil has an office...     A much better paranormal experience was a few nights ago I was feeling sad, while I was falling asleep I felt someone stroke my hair back from face, I had been crying and when I felt this I said "mommy?" and it happened again. Sometimes when I am falling asleep I will see her face surrounded by this light, she smiles at me and then it fades away.  So she knows when we need her and she's there, that brings so much comfort to me, as it should to all of you.    Enjoy the changing season..(((((HUGS )))))and XXXXXKISSESXXXXX to all of you.  Melanie Ann
