MEMORIES FROM THE May 2015 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH
John and Judy Lardin arrived back in MI on April 20. It’s always good to be back in your own bed. John has been suffering with a “bum” ankle since last summer and felt it would eventually go away. After putting up with it all winter he finally went to the doctor and was told he had Achilles tendonitis and surgery was out at this time as there could be complications from the surgery. He was given a boot to wear that comes to the knee. When asked about playing golf the doctor told him he doubted if he could play with it on but not rule out playing sooo John being the sport he is wears a special ace bandage the two days he plays golf. Cannot put into print Judy’s reaction. Upcoming trips include one to Texas in June to visit son Larry and family then to Idaho in July to celebrate Judy’s uncle’s 90th birthday. Judy plans to try to fit a trip to visit her sister in IL and John hopes to fit in a trip to OH to visit his cousin. Congratulations are in order to number 3 son, Larry who finally completed and received his bachelor degree from the University of Texas. Congratulations to Jack Schaefer who had successful right knee replacement on May 4. We ask you to remember Jack in your prayers that he has a rapid, successful recovery. Congratulations to Andrea Trachsel, daughter of Jeff Trachsel, who graduated from Oakland University on May 1 with a Bachelor of Science-Nursing Degree. Hopefully this fall she would like to return to school again to be a Nurse Practitioner. Karen and I would also like to announce the birth of our newest Grandson on May 7. Damien Thomas was 7.8 lbs and 19.5 inches long. He is the son of Karen’s daughter Nicole and son-in-law Jason. Mother and baby are doing well. One down and two more to go this year!
The ladies spring luncheon is set for Saturday, May 16 at Papa Vino restaurant, Livonia. All daughters and daughter-in-laws are invited. Final pinochle was held on April 19 at Cadieux Café. Congratulations to Jan Cashman who was awarded the first place plaque with total points of 134. There were 19 TRI-V members for dinner and feather bowling after. The Anniversary party is scheduled for Friday, June 19 at Joy Manor, Westland. Entertainment will be provided by the musical group Killarney Creek. Final Golf is scheduled for the weekend of Aug. 21-23 in Gaylord.
This wraps up another trip down Memory Lane. With the Corona Virus we have so many memories to think and talk about. Some of our grandchildren will have no memory of what has happened. Now is the time for us to take time to discuss our memories with each other as well as our children and older grandchildren. Do you remember going to Edgewater Park, the Boblo Boat or Boblo Island or maybe a trip to Belle Isle to go canoeing? How about Hudson’s downtown that they were not able to enjoy or riding on a street car? Hopefully you are getting the point. Share those memories with all. Until we see you next month in print, the Lord willing, take care of one another.
