Cubbies..............

The good 'ol Cubs are driving me crazy. I have been a Cub's fan since I can remember and I should be used to this crap. I have faith, the Cubs will prevail.

A fellow devout Cub's fan, Paul Lawrence,who used to sit in our section at the Iowa Cubs (triple A) passed away last Thursday. His family had a memorial at the ballpark; his ballcap on the back of his seat and Go Cubs Go piped throught the P.A. system. After the ceremony everyone sang "Take Me Out To The Ballgame". A few days before he went to the ballpark in the sky he said, "I believe it's their year". Paul, I hope you are right.

Sister Sue Update...

Val and I went to Little Rock over Labor Day weekend and stayed with my sister Sue. Mark flew in and stayed with my other sister Brenda. We had a barbeque on Saturday and the "gang" was all there. My nephews Jeremy & Jeff (Josh couldn't make the trip), my brother Ron, sister Brenda, Sammy (Sue's Hubby), Sammy's brother Bert and Sammy's mother Darlene. You'd think we had planned a family reunion or something. It was great seeing everyone.

Sue is a little thin and stubborn as ever. She finally drank an Ensure just to shut me up. It was amazing that after she drank it she had this burst of energy. I fear she won't drink anymore, can't stand the smell. I wish there was a pill (Lord knows she takes enough already)that would put a few pounds on her. Next trip, Thanksgiving.

Blah, Blah, Blah

Okay, I know I said I was going to keep up with my blogging and I don't have an excuse. Honest, I will really try to do better.
