  THE LARDINS
  The month of September begins with Judy and John spending a night at the Windsor Casino returning home on Labor Day to enjoy a barbecue with friends from TRI-V. September also included blood work, chemo treatments and dental appointments for John. John and Judy both golfed a few times during September. Judy took her neighbors to airport to attend a black tie wedding in Washington DC. It was quite comical trying to get 4 adults, car seat with one year old, luggage and Judy as driver into car. When they returned, John drove the son’s car to airport and Judy picked up neighbors and John (much easier). They will be ending the month with another trip to Windsor spending one or two nights.

  MEMORIES FROM THE OCTOBER 2009 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH
  October 2009 was much better health wise than 2004 with only known TRI-V member in need of our prayers was Terry Connolly who was recovering from hip replacement on Sept. 8. Reports of travel included Diane and Ken Plocharczyk to Las Vegas doing a lot of sightseeing on the trip and Sherry and Bob Kuhr in Albania for a month visiting son, Rob and family. Those having visitors included Judy and John Lardin with son Larry and family in from TX for a week. The trip included the whole family (21 total) making a trip to Cedar Point and Kirk Trachsel, son of Art, making a quick trip to Sarasota FL for a short visit. The October Stag event is an evening of whirly ball scheduled for Oct. 17 at the Novi Sports Arena, Novi, and the Children’s Christmas party scheduled for Dec. 6 at Maples Lanes Golf Club in Sterling Heights, MI. There were articles on pinochle hosted by the Clingermans and the Lardins. Pinochle scores for the first month of play had Jane Trachsel in first place with 26 points, AnnMarie Angelosanto in second with 25 points and Donna Clingerman in third with 24.5 points. Five years ago we had three houses with six couples at each house for Tri-V pinochle each month. This year we have only two tables with five couples at each house. What is the future of TRI-V pinochle?
  MEMORIES FROM THE OCTOBER 2014 ISSUE OF TRI-V UMPH
  We were fortunate that the October issue had no one in need of prayers. The October stag was scheduled for the 24 at the Cadieux Café, Detroit; and the November social was to attend the play “The Star Spangled Girl” on Sept. 15 at Schoolcraft College. The ladies Christmas luncheon is scheduled for Dec. 6 at Champs America in Livonia. The Children’s Christmas party is scheduled for Dec. 14 at Eddie Edgar Arena, Livonia. The first night of pinochle had Onallee in first place with 27 points, Ken Stress in second with 26 points and John Lardin tied with Brian Trachsel in third place with 21.5 points. Those travelling included Judy and John Lardin to Akron, OH to visit John’s cousin, Corpus Christi, TX to visit son Larry and family, and celebrate granddaughter’s birthday. Cal and Jan Cashman celebrated their 25 wedding anniversary by taking a 7 day cruise around the Hawaiian Islands. The trip included a 3 day visit with Jan’s son in San Diego and daughter Kathy in Arizona. After 64 years Blondie Forsyth found it necessary to sell her home in Northville and move to assisted living in Brighton. Kirk Trachsel flew in from Las Vegas to celebrate Art Trachsel’s 94th birthday.
  This wraps up another trip down memory lane. Read in the paper where the last Bob-Lo boat was being towed to New York to be refurbished and used as some attraction there. Do you remember making that bat ride to Bob-Lo Island and the amusement park? Share with each other your memories of those trips. Back when we had Bob-Lo we also had a Winkleman’s and Sanders store in the neighborhood. How about attending a hockey game at Olympia Stadium to watch the Red Wings and shortly a new stadium and Joe Louis will be a memory. Kresges and Woodworth’s were called “dime” stores and Kresges is now K-Mart and they continue to close them. Another memory to be gone soon. Then we have the Good Humor man in his white uniform and truck going through the neighborhood selling what our parents thought was expensive ice cream treats (mmmm those toasted almonds ice cream bars). Lastly we went on a tour of the Wonder Bread Bakery on Grand River and received a small loaf of bread. Now it’s the Motor City Casino. How sad to think back at all that are now just memories. Take the time to share with each other. Until we see you next month in print, the Good Lord willing, take care of one another.

  Presidents Message

  Tri V was saddened by the news of the passing of Ken Plocharczyk’s brother in early September. Our prayers are with Ken and his family.
  The start of the marbles season begins Saturday October 5th at John Lardin and Dave Burkes homes. There are a few rule changes which should help speed up the games and lower frustration. Good luck to everyone this season.
  The stag party committee is looking into some interesting event ideas and we hope to hear about the October social event at the meeting on October 8th.
  Coming up in December will be the children’s Christmas followed by the Council party the beginning of 2020.
  Committee chairmen please get event information into the paper ASAP so people can make plans to attend.

  Presidents Message 

  The Tri V golf season ended August 12th, then the golf weekend in Jackson was on August 16th-18th followed by the Steak roast on August 24th (held at Jeff and Karen’s home) concluded the Tri V summer schedule. Its now time for back to school and the start of the Fall schedule. We kick off the Fall schedule with the September meeting at 6:00pm at the Perfect Score bowling alley. Please try to be on time as we will cover a number of events from the summer calendar. Committees remember to bring your event reports with copies for the officers. Fall event committees should be ready to talk about their upcoming events. After the meeting a number of members will begin the bowling season which we hope includes improved averages since the lanes are all new and our excuses have been taken away.

  THE LARDINS 

  THE LARDINS

  As usual, Judy and John have been busy starting with celebrations of John’s 77th birthday, Texas Roadhouse with Mike, Bev and Alyssa, and friend Paul; then on actual birthday had ham sandwiches with Jacqui and Jack and John played golf with Brian; then day after birthday celebrated with a barbecue at Cashmans with Angelosantos, Schaefers, and friends Pete and Jan Thibault. The following day had dinner with 12 or 14 friends from our former St. Bernardine family. Mike and Bev played in a golf tournament supporting Autism on Sunday, August 11 so Judy had Alyssa who she had to take to birthday party and of course then shopping. On August 17 Judy and John went to Caesars in Windsor, spent a couple hours there but were each rewarded with collapsible Igloo cooler and water bottle. Of course the above does not include chemo every other week for John. John has also had an echocardiogram, dental work, seen podiatrist and is scheduled for carotid artery check up; pacemaker/defib checkup and cardiologist check up in August. John is also playing golf twice a week; Judy once a week. Judy had her physical and is scheduled for mammogram and bone density test the end of August. Judy also watched Alyssa during August as Bev was finishing teaching summer school, week off and then back to school preparations for new school year. Judy took Alyssa to soccer practice, basketball camp, piano lessons, etc. (Alyssa keeps extremely busy.) They are going to Caesars September 1 and 2 hoping to spend some time relaxing and enjoying the pool and spa. Judy also tries to visit neighbor in assisted living at least once a week; gets her mail and takes to her; pays her bills and picks up items she needs from home or store. Judy says she’ll finally get a break with school starting and hopes to get to the water aerobics 2-3 times per week at the Y. John says “we did all that”?

  Keep those prayers coming—they WORK!!

  GRANDPARENTS 

  With September being the month we celebrate Grandparents Day, we send this to our Grandmas in TRI-V.

  Once upon a time there was child ready to be born. The child asked God, “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how as I going to live there being so small and helpless?” God replied, “Among the angels, I’ll choose one for you. Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.”
  The child further inquired, “But tell me, here in heaven I don’t have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.”
  God said, “Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel the angel’s love and be very happy.”
  Again the child asked, “And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don’t know the language?”
  God said, “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words that you will ever hear, and with much patience and care your angel will teach you how to speak.”
  I’ve heard that on Earth there are bad people. Who will protect me?”
  God said, “Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.”
  At the moment there was much peace in heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, “God, if I am to leave now please tell me my angel’s name.”
  God replied, “Her name is not important. You will simply call her “GRANDMA.”
