April 2016

Happy Birthday to
Bethany and Sarah Jane

The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year. Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed. — Mark Twain

Punxsutawney Phil blew it this year.  The April Showers never showed up and Weather claimed it never got Phil’s email requesting that it raise the Temperature a few degrees on or about 15 April.

Our resident interpreter Owen was inducted into the Spanish National Honor Society this month.  Now that he has achieved this honor, his next long-term goal is to be invited to join the National History Honor Society.

Ross had to make a quick trip home this month to interview for a summer job.  On their way to Morgantown, WV to pick him up, Mom and Dad took a side trip to Pittsburgh, PA where they went to the Heinz History Center, took a ride on the Duquesne Incline, went to Saint Anthony Chapel to see its world-famous collection of relics, and last, but certainly not least, stopped in the Strip at Primante Brothers for lunch. 

The day after his “10 minute in-depth interview,” Dad and Pop-Pop took Ross back to Morgantown to finish up the last two weeks of his first year at WVU.  Before heading home, they had lunch at the Primanti Brothers Morgantown branch.  It’s a good thing Pop-Pop didn’t tell them he was born and raised in the Pitsburgh Area – he actually had them substitute onions for the standard french fries on his sandwich!


See you next month...

Ross & Owen

Never Forget!
