JAN MEMORIES

MEMORIES FROM THE JANUARY 2007 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH

Our prayers go out to Peg Wendt. She came home from the nursing home on Jan. 3rd hoping that Bob would be able to take care of her. She was unable to walk and it was found that she had a broken ankle. A removable cast was placed on her foot but unfortunately she had to return to the nursing home. We continue to pray for Peg. She has suffered so much the last few years.

We shared with fellow members our travels over the Christmas/New Year Holiday as well as upcoming travels. Donna and John Clingerman spent Christmas in San Francisco CA with John’s brother while Jan and Cal Cashman spent Christmas with their two daughters and their family in Franklin TN. Art Trachsel flew up to Gulfport MS to spend time with Lorraine’s family while Peg and George Hoffman returned to MI for the holidays visiting friends and family on the way in Dayton and Cincinnati OH. Judy and John Lardin were leaving the beginning of Jan. for San Antonio TX to see their newest grandson, Jacob, born to Kim and Larry on Dec. 16th. They planned on staying a week, maybe longer if Judy’s service were needed.

There were articles on Dec. Pinochle hosted by Jacqui and Jack Schaefer, Karlyn and Tim Gies and Vickie and Nick Angelosanto. There were articles on the upcoming Council Party on Jan. 27th at Palazzo di Bocce for indoor bocce ball, Auburn Hills, and the Winter Event on Feb. 11th with feather bowling at the Cadieux Café, Detroit. The Children’s Christmas Party was held on Dec. 17th at Madonna University, Livonia. There were 62 in attendance, 43 adults, 16 children and three babies. Pinochle scores through Jan. play had Vickie Angelosanto in first place with 99.5 points, Judy Lardin in second place with 96 points and Jan Cashman and Brian Trachsel tied for third place with 95 points.

MEMORIES FROM THE JANUARY 2012 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH

We were fortunate to start the new year with no know members or extended family in need of our prayers. Unfortunately the only trifles were from Judy and John Lardin. Their article included the annual trip to Corpus Christi TX to celebrate grandson Jacob’s birthday and celebrate Christmas with Kim and Larry and on their return celebrate grandson Dante’s birthday. Both of them were born on Dec. 16th and both families have been good at celebrating birthdays on different dates allowing Judy and John to celebrate both birthdays. They made a trip to Waterford to visit Santa and it was rather unique. The person that played Santa really looks like he could be a Santa with mostly bald head, a full white beard and glasses. You tell Santa ahead the children’s name, something about them, how good or bad they have been, how they are doing in school and he does a great job of having the children actually believing he is Santa. He drive to FL was a little different this year as John and Nick Angelosanto left on Jan 5th and Judy flew down on Jan. 14th. Nick spent a week with John getting in a couple of rounds of golf and returning to MI on Jan. 11th.

The 2012 TRI-V Council Party was set for Jan. 28th and was a blind bag, wine tasting event at the home of Amber and Steve Trachsel. Pinochle standings through Jan. play had Brian Trachsel in first place with 96.5 points and a tie between Karlyn and Tim Gies with 88 points.

This wraps up another trip down memory lane. Hopefully as you read the memories each month you might be able to remember if you made the event or how u did in pinochle as you look at the leaders. Speaking of pinochle have you noticed each month that there is usually one person who is in the top three every year? Now we are making the memories that hopefully someone will read about in five or ten years. This will not happen unless you take the time to let your editor aware for them to be published each month. If we are on the computer putting something on face book then please, please take the time to send the information to the editor. Not everyone has or looks at face book. Until we see you in print next month, the Good Lord willing, continue to look after one another.
