Labor Day has come and gone
Labor Day has come and gone but thankfully we can still look forward to more summerlike weather. It was a weekend for family.We had planned to go visit Paul's mother in Rock Island and we did that. But Lou Bauck, a longtime family friend passed away this week and the funeral was Saturday afternoon. She would have been 99 on her birthday in October. Marilyn was responsible for all the arrangements -it was a nice service with schmaltzy music. Paul and Chris were pallbearers. Women ot the church served coffee and cake afterwards. Kristin went with us - she was going to go anyway - John had to work. We had a chance to go out to dinner with Chris, Marla and Jake in the evening. We went out for breakfast with Marilyn on Sunday and after a trip to Whitey's left for home. Monday we were invited to John and Sasha's apartment for a cookout and had a chance to meet Sasha's mother, her four sisters and her grandfather. Food was good and we were pleased to get to meet Sasha...
