Quick trip to MO/IL
Along with more than 60 friends and relatives, surprised my cousin Deanna and her husband Paul Nelson for their 50th anniversary celebration. Their four children, spouses, and nine grandchildren as well as her brother and family, arranged the surprise party at a restaurant in Kirkwood, MO, this past Sunday (9/4). Flew into ST
L Friday shortly after noon and niece Diana picked 
me up after her tennis tourney from 9-noon in STL that morning. My jr high, high school and college BFF Barb and her husband Jim Kadlec drove down from Naperville for an overnight stay to visit. Went out to dinner Friday night also with elementary school BFF Lynnette Bass. Saturday morning Diana, 9-yr old daughter Kate and I joined cousins from the Heberer side at breakfast and surprised my 86-yr-old cousin Gerry Boeschen. She blithely remarked, "So planes fly both ways, huh?" She and twin daughers Sharen and Karen and cousin Terry and wife Roxy had been out to visit in Maryland multiple times since my OVC3C diagnosis five years ago. Ali, Diana and Duane's middle daughter who is a freshman at Missouri State on a softball scholarship, came home for the weekend and celebrated her 19th birthday (actually on 9/11) Saturday night. Cousin Dennis Hoffman, wife Julie and daughter Ellen picked me up for the 50th anniversary surprise party on Sunday and returned me to Diana's after a nice visit at Deanna's and Paul's house with all the kids & grandkids. Talked to so many relatives and friends my brain was on overload when I got back home to BWI Monday afternoon. Rain started as Megan, Alex, Tyler and Jenna picked me up and we went out to dinner. Lovely trip. Lovely to visit with everyone.
