Daniel's Baseball

Gordon and I drove down to see Daniel play baseball. He is on the Detroit Tigers team. He played left field and third base and did a great job. He had a couple of great hits and one RBI. We took our little red convertible down. The evening was warm and the sunset was gorgeous.

Cambridge Chapel Fire

(Click on the above title to view a Boston Globe video.) Help Christina, I have got to learn how to link to video and websites. I am still learning how to blog.

My sister called Sunday afternoon with sad news. Her son, Michael heard that the Cambridge, Massachusetts Ward Chapel had been destroyed by fire. I attended church in that building from 1969 to 1973. My two oldest children were blessed in that ward. I have many memories of Boston and ward activities in Cambridge. It was a lovely building just off Harvard Square and across the street from Longfellow's home. This has been upsetting news. I hope it will be rebuilt to resemble the old building. Burns and Brenda attended the same building while he was in law school. An article said that 22 fire engines and 80 fire fighters responded to the fire. It is in close proximity to many homes. The Institute of Religion had a library in the building. The video shows how they saved the library.

Ryan's Ph.D Graduation

Congratulations, Ryan! You did it! It was exciting for the entire family. It was a long day for the kids! Abbi's parents have been a great support to all of them. Gordon, my mother and I got to fly back to Ann Arbor, Michigan for the weekend. Karl, Christina, and their kids got to spend a week in Michigan. The cousins had a blast. We had a breakfast brunch at a beautiful park. It is found on Geddes Road and this is a photo of Geddes Pond. It made us feel right at home! The kids buried their feet. Even Grandpa had fun swinging.
