Halloween Classics

Happy Birthday Mom

Mom really likes this time of year and always decorates the house and yard with stuff that has an “Autumnal” theme, which of course includes lots of Halloween decorations.

This Month’s News

Mom and Dad attended the annual Gala sponsored by Mosaic Virginia® this month.  Mom works at Mosaic Virginia® doing IT and Communications stuff.

Our “New” deck celebrated its first birthday this month.  And Owen got his permanent driver’s license one year ago this month.  We’re all going to Morgantown, WV next weekend to visit with Ross and go to a WVU football game.  If thngs go the Mountaineers way, we may even see some Burning Couches.

Congratulations to Mom’s cousin Bethany and her husband Dave.  They ran in a Marathon this month.

This Month’s News…

It’s Mom’s favorite time of year.  How does one know you ask?  Well, because this year’s verson of the Autumnal Tree has been sighted! 

Mom went on a White House Tour earlier this month.  They also spent some time at the Trump International Hotel.

Mom and Dad made a day trip to Morgantown, WV to visit Ross during WVU’s Fall Family Weekend.  They also took a side trip to Cooper’s Rock.

Owen’s continued his college tour this month.  He did a tour of James Madison University.  If he submits an application to JMU, he will be considered a “legacy applicant” since JMU is both Mom and Dad’s Alma mater.

Family Reunion 2017
On the first week of this month we made our annual trek to the hills of Southwestern PA to attend the annual “First Saturday in August Family Reunion”.  We left on Thursday for Morgantown, WV to help Ross get his apartment ready for occupancy.  Unfortunately, this turned out to be more problematic and time-consuming than planned.  However, Pop-Pop and Dad did get to spend a few hours at Gene’s Beer Garden with Pop-Pop’s friend Pat.  On Friday afternoon we headed to Uncle Brian’s house in PA for the “Brothers Reunion.”  On Saturday, we went to the Family Reunion.

On the way home we stopped again in Morgantown to see if any progress had been made on resolving the apartment issues.  It was still a “Work-in-Progress” when we departed.  However, the majority of the issues were resolved within the next week or so.  Ross stayed on in Morgantown to get ready for the start of his third year at WVU.

Why can’t we go to the reunion too?
The dogs spent some quality time with one of Mom’s friends while we were away.  She said a good time was had by all.
