August & September Crumbs

We had a couple additions to our family in August. My brother, Mike, who for years thought he'd never have grandchildren, had identical twin grandsons (that gives him 5). My sister, Ina, had twin great grandchildren earlier this year, plus 2 others. So our family, who up to now had mostly girls, had 6 boys in less than a year. That gives my mother 17 great grandchildren and 10 great-great grandchildren.

An old friend came to town from Michigan so we got a group together and had a girls night out. My friends, Ann and Helen went with my sisters and I to see a movie in Hibbing and then go out for dinner.

I spent most of the summer playing pinochle with my mom and sisters while Jim watched the Twins with my nephew, Eric. My mom (97) was my partner and we won our share of the games. Actually we were pretty evenly matched.

We left Babbitt, MN on Labor Day weekend and met my niece and two of her grandchildren at an RV park in Pine City. She also picked up my grandson, Matthew, and brought him to meet us. The weather was a real answer to prayer. We'd had a very cool summer (in the 60s) and that weekend it was sunny and in the upper 70s every day. Here's Matthew about to devour another S'more.

After much deliberation I finally caved in and decided to join Facebook. I still have doubts about the wisdom of social networking sites, but it is fun to be able to have a running conversation with lots of people at the same time. Bob Harter also created a MMAP group on Facebook that active and retired MMAPers can use to keep in touch. If you have a Facebook account and want to be my friend or be in the MMAP group send me an e-mail and I'll initiate the contact.
