Bell Flight Fourteen You now can Land
The kids enjoyed their Spring Break this week. We were boring this year, staying home and taking it easy. Ann continued to recuperate her ailing right arm. On Monday, Ann called me in obvious pain and we left early so she could go rest. I went over to pick up the kids at Brandy’s house early and ended up staying about a half hour to play kickball with them at her house. That night, the weather was beautiful so the kids and I went for a long bike ride after work. We played outside until dark…as we did for much of the week. Matt made the paper one more time for wrestling in that night’s paper. Ann proudly displayed her signature-riddled cast as she passed out on the couch.
On Tuesday, Ann stayed home to rest and after work, the kids and I went out to buy a new bike for Dad. I ended up getting the same kind of bike Matt had, which he didn’t appreciate much. He started teasing me saying we were the BFF BC…the Best Friends Forever Bicycle Club…smart ass…We ended up riding bikes again until it was too dark to stay out. We enjoyed popcorn and American Idol; especially Crystal Bowersox! Sandy let me go through her pictures and I found a few that I didn’t have, including a couple of her with their friend Susan (Matt’s 5th grade teacher) and a couple more from Matt’s last home wrestling meet.
On Wednesday, Grandma and Gigi left town to visit Keith, Rosie and Megan (who was celebrating a birthday!). Dee ended up in Cincy for the week, as Gracie went to New Hampshire to be with her Daddy. That left Matt to step up to be the dog watcher for the remainder of the week; which he willingly did. After we got home and rode around the neighborhood for a few hours. Matt & I then rode back to Maryann & Sandy’s house to get the dogs out one more time. It was a pretty good ride and Matt was ready to do it again the next night. Unfortunately, the weather started to deteriorate, turning colder and wetter on Thursday, so we had a nice quite night off from everything!! YES!!
On Friday, I was getting ready to leave work (on time for once!), when the fire alarm went off…ugh…I ran downstairs to the panel only to find that a child had ripped off a smoke detector out of the ceiling. I ended up staying another three hours until the issue was resolved. When I got home, the kids were just settling down. Luke, Abby and I ended up watching The Princess and the Frog on our new laptop while lying on our bellies on our master bed. The kids fell asleep during it, but I thought it was really good and loved the jazz music soundtrack. It was also Megan’s birthday. Gigi took several great pictures of the birthday girl. She’s so cute and looks so mature…well most of the pictures anyhow! 😛
Finally, we have beautiful young Ms. Dee in ’91; Ann in ’93 with Gigi at a motel in LaPorte for Keith & Rosie’s wedding; speaking of the devils, here they are in ’93; and finally Rob in May of ’96.
Well that’s it for this episode of the Scheu Family Blog. Thanks for hanging out with us for a little while. We’ll catch up with you next time. Until then, have a good one.
Later, Scheu
