April Activities

Our winter bowling league ended this month and to John's surprise, on the last day when awards were handed out, he was given the award for "The Most Improved Bowler". I must say, he is a much better bowler than I am. I guess that is OK since I am a better horseshoe pitcher than he. We enjoy the competitiveness.

John had tubes put in his ears this month. Hopefully, this will help his ears to drain properly.

John and I attended a garden clinic sponsored by a local nursery. John has planted tomatoes and zucchini. He also planted two blueberry bushes. In our basement nursery, he is growing herbs and has starts of green onions, peppers, and zucchini. Just call him "Farmer John". This week we are scheduled to attend a container gardening session at the same nursery.

Earlier in the month, we attended a "Celtic Woman" concert in Columbus, Ohio. We thoroughly enjoyed it! The group consists of four women. One of them plays the fiddle/violin and really puts herself into it by moving around all over the place. The Irish music is beautiful!!

In the middle of April, we traveled to Cleveland, Ohio to attend a Glenn Beck performance. John's sister, Julie and her husband, Jim, opened up their home where we spent the night. Julie fed us a wonderful Slovakian dinner with poppyseed cake as dessert. We devoured it and before we left, she baked another one which we ate again with them and she sent the rest home with us. We really enjoyed being with them even though it was for such a short visit.

This past weekend, we traveled to Sellersburg, Indiana, for the wedding of Scott and Allison Sanders. Scott is the son of our good friends, Brian and Terri Sanders of Indianapolis, Indiana. It was a gorgeous wedding. The reception was held in New Albany, Indiana. We pigged out at the reception. Their wedding cake was cheesecake. My favorite!

On our way home, we met a good friend, Bob Wendling, at a restaurant in Hagerstown, Indiana and enjoyed catching up on the happenings in his life. His deceased wife, Joyce, and he were very dear friends of Kathy and John. In fact, Joyce, gave the eulogy at Kathy's funeral. Here we are at the end of a huge meal!
