In South Bend, IN

Not a lot of new stuff going on.
My brother finally got approved about two months ago to start taking a drug that will clear up his psoriasis. It is a very expensive and very powerful drug. After he took his second shot (self administered) he had a very very severe, serious reaction. His feet, knees, legs and hands swelled up and the skin started peeling off. He was in extreme pain and after many visits to his local doctor they sent him to a specialist in Indianapolis, IN for treatment. That doctor very much impressed Tom and Peg and very soon after he started to recover.
He is doing much better now, but is still a week or so away from returning to work. He actually stopped taking the pain medication the other day and had a beer....first one in three weeks!

Tom and Peg both asked why I did not put a label on the header picture to show where it was taken at....was not sure if I could do that, but as you see, it is now there. Very easy to do.

Next Saturday, the 3rd, we are going with our son and his family to Indiana Beach for a week.

There is a small amusement park a campground and Lake Shafer. It will be a good chance to see if I can still sit in a roller coaster after the knee surgery some 8 years ago. We would love to go to Cedar Point amusement park but have avoided it because I was not sure if I could bend the knees far enough to sit in the coaster train.

Our son bought a "new to them" 19 foot open bow boat that they hope to take with them....if they can get a hitch and transmission cooler put on their Honda mini van. It can pull the weight, but needs a trans cooler.

This Saturday we are going to a reunion of my 1954 graduating class of Holy Cross Catholic grade school!!!!! Now how strange is that. Other than a childhood/grade school/high school friend that has kept in touch I would have no idea who any of these folks are.......should be fun though.
That's about all the news from our side, how about you.
