Labor Day Weekend


John and I will be heading down to Charlottesville, VA this weekend to see my parents and sister, Abby. Unfortunately, we won't be going through Washington DC where we could see Chris. Hopefully we'll get to do that soon, though.
Darcy and Jamie have rented out their home for all seven Penn State home football games in September and October so we will be doing various things each of those weekends. John and I are embracing this as a chance to get out and see the area, do a little camping, and go see friends in surrounding cities. We're planning to go camping a couple of hours from State College over the weekend after Labor Day with Darcy, Jamie, and the two dogs. Pete will LOVE being off leash in the forest for a couple of days where there are countless things to investigate.

I am going to just write a few lines and sent and see if I have the username and password right. Thought I did and the message I wrote earlier did not go through. Know you are in Charlottesville. May just call you. Love you, Grandma

Yeah, think it went through. I really wanted to talk to you before you left, but seems time gets away. You will have a lot of adventures during the weekend of the games and I know Pete will enjoy camping out. Just must remember he is a dog and not attack a bear.

Have been thinking what a caring, loving family we have and how they are there in spirit and prayer when you need them. I know your mom is feeling that now, John. So thankful for the technology that they have now and Kathy Shackelford sharing her doctor with your mom. Your mom said when she called me, "I have good news and a little bad." I had to think, the good news is going to take care of the bad. I have been so impressed with the advances of the procedures and the advance in treatment and education. Your mom has advantage of them all. As always the best medicine is the 3 F's. Our Faith, Family and Friends.

I will talk to you next week. May call you tomorrow and say hi. Tell Terry, Sherrie and Abby hello and we love them. Also, tell that Pete to behave. Wow, that Hunter is a big dog. I am sure Pete thinks he is just as big. Wrong. Love you all. Papa and Grandma
