MARCH

 

Hello, everyone!  How did it get to be the end of July already?  I really meant to keep up with this, but time gets away from me.  I will work hard, though, so that I can post more up to date information.

But let me tell you about March.

Many of you might have heard about the airplane crash in Northeast Philadelphia.  It was a medical plane.  A little girl had been very sick and was in Children's Hospital in Philadelphia for months.  Her mother was with her.  They were from Mexico.  Finally, she was well enough to go home.  They were in a commuter plane which was taking them and four other people (doctor, pilot, etc.) to the Midwest where they would refuel and then fly to Mexico.  But just minutes after taking off, the plane crashed and everyone on board was killed.  So tragic!  The place where they crashed was across the street from the library I used to work at.  Just 5 miles from my home.  Several families lost their homes and some people on the ground were killed or severely injured.  Of course, the streets were closed for awhile following this.  When the streets finally reopened, Joe and I were able to get to our eye doctor appointment.  The doctor's office is just two blocks from where the plane crashed.  I was driving, so Joe took some pictures of the site as we passed.

As you can see from this last picture, the site was still behind a temporary fence.

On a happier note, we began a new thing at church.  Once a month we have a lunch at church.  Each time it is a different theme.  In March it was casseroles.  People brought all kinds of cassseroles.  I made chicken and stuffing.  There wasn't a lot to bring home.  I'm glad it turned out so good.  There was also mac and cheese, corn souffle, beef and noodles, a salad, homemade bread, and all kinds of desserts.

I just had to take this picture of George winking.  He is so cute.

Finally, on the 30th we went to Cape May Courthouse, NJ and went to church with our friends at Cape Community Church.  It was an easy drive.  We've been trying to get down the shore again ever since, but it hasn't worked out.

That's it for March.  I will do my best to get April up soon.  Thanks for reading and I will see you soon.
