The Weekend

My folks are here this weekend. They came so that Dad could see an orthopedist friend of ours to get a second opinion on his hip problem. The verdict confirmed what his dr. at home said - that when it gets bad enough (and it's not there yet) he'll need a hip replacement. But it's not that bad yet. We went shopping this afternoon and then cooked up the wild turkey breast that Mike got last spring during turkey hunting season. It's very good - I don't even like wild meat but this has a lot of flavor to it.

Mary Lee has been busy with friends all weekend and is babysitting right now. Last night we went to very exciting basketball games at our school and beat our main rival 75-72. The game went down to the wire.

Andrew will come home next weekend for a retirement gala for my former administrator who retired at the end of the year. He is singing at the festivities and also made a video over his Christmas break that will be shown, parodying the retiree. I've not seen it but imagine it will be very funny.

That's what's going on in South Carolina right now!

Sounds like you've been busy. I knew your parents were there as we got a call from your dad while he was sitting in a mall while you, Mike, and your mom were shopping. Wish we could see Andrew's video and hear him sing - I'm sure it will be great.
