We're all fine

I know most of you know about the weather we have been having. We have found out that almost everyone we know are all okay. We talked to friends in Hazelton and their house got minor damage, but their out buildings are all gone and their neighbor had most things distroyed.
Heard that our friend in Parkersburg was on the other end of town. Still trying to find out about a few we know that lived in Parkersburg. We hope that we can help out when they let people go in to help with clean up.
Good news from this week end. Lisa and I, and Steve and Gina and family went to Kelly and Tony's renewal vows this week end. We had a lot of fun. I think Kelly was more nervous than the first time. No worries Kel, Kel. Gina did a whole retro back to the 80's service, that had to be translated. It was funny and I think Kelly liked the whole thing.
We did get Lisa on skate that night. Yes, I did say skates. It took three guys around her, but we did it. All in all it was a good week end and we all had fun at the rink. Congrats Kelly and Tony!
Other than that Casey and I are still working like everybody else. We both really do enjoy our jobs. For me it is nice not having to make any of the decisions. I just do my job and go home. Oh yeah, the regular pay check is nice. I haven't had one of those for a really long time.
Casey is really enjoying his job too. He already got a raise after 30 day revue. I was put in for one too. He enjoys all the people he is working with. Even the ladies. He says they are great gals to work with. He worked with women years ago in a factory and it wasn't, shall we say, an experience he wanted to repeat. These gals are good. His boss is a woman and he likes her.
Not much else, just waiting for the weather to get to some what normal for this time of the year.
Please remember all the ones that are dealing with a lot of destruction here and in other states.
We are all Americans and like a family we will deal with this too and help each other out at what ever needs done. God Bless Us All.

Our Bowling in Chicago

Well, we had an eventful trip. Started out just like any other trip. Had all the things we where going to need. Day wasn't bad for traveling, a little chilly, no rain, happy about that. We get closer to Chicago and Gina ask, "Do you know where the hotel is, Casey?" Casey booked the hotel. Answer, "I left the info at home." We don't know where the hotel was. We kinda know from the bowling alley. Fortunately we know where the bowling alley is. We thought.
Chicago is full of toll ways, right. You can not get off where ever you want, right. Needless to say we found our way to O'Hare. Casey keeps saying to Steve just keep going while we are driving thru the terminals. We saw a lot of limo's. He was right, we just kept driving and we came out of O'Hare. He had done the same thing years ago when he was trying to find a show. He knew where we where, but none of us did. We did then find the bowling alley and then the hotel. Casey won't be in charge of hotel info from now on.
Other that being in places we have never been before we had a great week end. Now Gina can say that she has been in some new places, again. Gina knew we where never leaving O'Hare.
Oh, yeah the bowling tournament. We got there when the place opened, had to wait, but it finally started. They did a few things different, but over all it was the same. New people where there. We only recognized a couple other teams. One was the team we bowled against last year the last time. Didn't like them, the only ones we didn't like. Didn't bowl them either. We didn't do as well as last year but we still had fun. Gina and I did good in the sweeper before the tournament started. I got 5th and Gina won the highest handicap. Sorry boys it was a girl week end. Over all we came in 16th out of 40 teams. We where happy. We just didn't want to embarrass ourselves.
We did some shopping and had good food otherwise it was a good week end.
