Don't Know What

What!!!What!!!WHAT!!!andWhy!!!Why!!!WHY!!!don't my brilliant writings show up on this blog. Last week I wrote about our bus trip with the local Senior Center to Oneida Casino in Green Bay, Wisconsin then continue on to the Island Resort and Casino in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Not any luck at the slot machines but a lot of good company on the bus ride and in the casinos. The room at the Island Casino was comfortable as was the bed.  The room was clean and we had a great view of the surrounding area. Our room was located on the 5th floor and overlooked the parking lot, the camping area, the busy highway and a large forest. The sunrise was just a beautiful sight.

Not much more to report so I will sign off now. Still don't know why last weeks report didn't show up let's see if this one will.

New Great Grand Daughter

Very early this morning we got the news, our grand  daughter had a baby girl. This is our first great grand child. Mother and baby are doing fine. Not sure of her name. Not sure if this is official but our Son-In-Law e-mailed us and called her Elli, that's good enough for me. I'll call her Elli and shortly she can call me gramps. I like it.

Want to head for Facebook now to see if I can track down one of our grandsons who is in Rome attending college. Hope I can find his  a note from him there or maybe he wrote something on his blog.

Well, this Great Grand Pa has to head out. Enjoy life-all.

Quick Update

Daughter-in-law was doing pretty good recovering from her operation as I recorded in my last posting. Then a blood clot in one of the artery's to the liver developed and now she may have to under go a new transplant. We stopped to see her in the hospital 2 days ago and she was sleeping, a restless sleep. When the wife touched her arm she tried to open her eyes but it was a problem for her. A nurse ran down to get our son who was in the hospital  doing some   bookwork . Very lucky that he can do work from this setting. He was glad to see us and we talked with him for awhile. Another friend of theirs does volunteer work at the hospital so she checks in on the D-I-L quite often.

On another note, as a beer tester back in the mid 1950's to the early 1970's, I often look for beers that I am not familiar with. Also I have family and friends who on occasion pick up a beer for me to share with them my expert opinion of this product. Last month camping along the Mississippi River with my baby sister and her hubby they had 2 beers for me to try. Because of the weather and our travels to a nearby casino alsoI had to go to the nearest town for a haircut I only got to taste one of the beers. Anne, I hope you still have the 2d sample for me.

Well time to hit the sack, it was a tiring day today. Read the paper all morning, went to Church this evening and then to McDonalds for a delicious supper.  Busy, busy day.
