I try to keep secrets. I guess the secret is out. Grasshopper No.5 did introduce your Mom and I to the guy in her life, Jeff. He is an accomplished photographer. No.5 told of her last trip to the vet with Bruno and while there, she saw this figure looking in the window of the clinic. The doctors and nurses thought it was a “homeless” man. It turns out it was Jeff. So upon meeting Jeff for lunch, we honestly didn’t know what to expect. He is a really good guy. He cleans up very well. Hey, he drives a Honda.
Grasshopper No.5 spent 3 days with Mom and I and hardly mentioned she was looking for a new apartment. Mom and I have been home for one week and we get news she is moving. Did I miss something (maybe I wasn’t listening). The new place sounds really nice.
I checked on daughter-in-law Jenny on Sunday morning. Her 1/2 marathon in the Cellcom race in Green Bay started at 7:00 AM. She had to drive to Green Bay (I assume with family) and prepare for her long distance run. Hmmm, that means she had to get up at 4:30 AM or 5:00 AM. My question is “did Jenny get any sleep while anticipating the race”? The race results were available almost immediately. Apparently she was wearing a computer chip that registered as she went past different mile markers. She did great. The women’s winner of the 1/2 marathon finished with a time of 1:12:27 or an average of 5:22 minutes per mile. Jenny passed mile marker No.5 (5 miles) averaging 9:39 minutes per mile. Spectacular for a weekend warrior. Jenny’s total time was just over 2 hours.
Grand-daughter Keely is getting very close to giving birth to a new son or daughter. If she knows the sex of the baby, she ain’t telling. I’m guessing a boy. That makes Grasshopper No.3 and “his better half”, Grandparents. I suggest they get used to the new label. Wait, that makes your Mom and I Great-grandparents. Again! Really?
It sounds like the Memorial Day weekend weather is lining up to be really nice. We deserve it.
Love,
Dad
