Barry ran in his first half marathon (13.1 miles) today and did great! There were about 3,000 runners and he finished 18th in his age group and 325th overall! I am so proud of him!

Wonderful Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day today. My son and Hubby bought me roses and we had a nice brunch at the Buffalo Launch Club. We also visited my Grandma's grave.

Happy Mother's Day Mom!

You are my strongest ally and one of my best friends. You have been there for me through the worst times of my life and listened, counseled and loved me. You have been there to share in my triumphs. You are my rock and my confidant and I don't know what I would do without you.

I hope that you realize that even when I take out my frustration on you, it is because you are the one I know will understand.

I am happy that you are able to celebrate your 2nd Mother's Day as a Grandmother.

I love you!

Goodbye Friend

Today was a very sad day for our family. We had to have our cat, Blacky, put to sleep since she was suffering from kidney failure. Barry found her as a stray about 13 years ago. She was a funny, inquisitive, sweet cat and she will be sadly missed by our family.

I took this picture of Josh and Barry last weekend when we took a drive to Wilson. Josh was sick all this past weekend. He caught a virus from his cousin Noah and spiked a fever of 103.9. I called Dr. Beney and he had us bring him into his office on Saturday even though he doesn't have office hours on the weekends. Grammy and Poppy came over yesterday to see Josh and bearing gifts. Josh especially loved the new Little Tykes Basketball net!
