May 8th marked the 70 year anniversary of VE Day. To commemorate this event, a number of vintage WWII aircraft conducted a Flyover of the nation’s capitol. Our neighborhood was in the flight path. We didn’t get to see the planes because we were in school, but Mom and our neighbor got some good photos of the planes as they flew south towards DC.

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
The family spent a long weekend in the Big Apple this month. While there, we met up with Mom’s cousin Brian, who lives in New York City, and had lunch with him at the legendary Katz’s Deli.
One year ago, Ross began his career in the food service industry making sandwiches at Jimmy John’s. This month, he left Jimmy John’s to become a “burger and fries” guy at Five Guys.
Like this time last year, Owen is still chasing his dream of becoming a World-Class Gamer. He does, however, take time out from gaming to swim and go to church youth group meetings. He’s also busy planning upgrades to his computer to make his games run faster.
Happy Birthday to Ross, Pop-Pop, Gina, Jill in Florida, Ryan in China, and Pop-Pop’s friend Pat in Morgantown!
March came in like a Lion this year and shows no signs of going out like a lamb.
Ross and Pop-Pop celebrated their birthdays on the 12th of this month. Ross was 18 years old. As usual, Pop-Pop says he can’t remember how old he is.
Ross has decided where he will pursue his higher education this fall. However, his final acceptance is contingent on passing his AP Course in Couch-Burning 101 and committing the lyrics of this song to memory.
Owen is still quite busy in his quest to become a 32nd Degree GameMaster. However, something called “Geometry” has been getting in the way of this much more important endeavor.
In addition to all the birthdays, Granny and Pop-Pop’s wedding anniversary was on March 1st. Pop-Pop said it doesn’t much matter which one it is since he stopped counting them many years ago.
