Hi everybody,
Needless to say Bob got no call on Friday, so he will start the phoning all over again tomorrow. He continues to feel well, and though he had a bad day yesterday w/ his knee problem, it hasn't gone out on him today at all. So, one day at a time. He's still eating well, and in keeping with the true spirit of our blog I will tell you about the wonderful Hungarian dinner that Bobs' friend and pt. Aniko made for us. She dropped it off Fri am...sorry I missed you Aniko, Anyway she brought us chicken paprikash, spaetzle, cucumber salad and a rum dessert I do not know the name of....all homemade, and all enjoyed by us on Friday evening. Actually we still have a container of chicken frozen, and a 2nd dessert also, and 2 bottles of wine and real Hungarian paprika that Aniko just received. So Aniko thank you, thank you, thank you. Everything was delicious....you really outdid yourself, and we truly appreciate all your hard work.
It's been a hectic weekend for me. My parents are staying at my brothers' while he is traveling to the Czech Republic, and my Dad took a tumble on Toms front concrete stoop Friday am. He really got banged up, poor guy, and looks like he went the distance w/ Mike Tyson. I'm sure he's going to be the talk of their apartment building(they just moved on 6/2, and barely know anyone there yet) when they get home. So they've been w/ us since Friday, and my mother and I have also gone out shopping for linens and some new kitchen doodads, even though she says it's ridiculous to buy all this new stuff for her and my Dad at their ages(Mom-82, Dad-88). I should be so good when I'm 82...criminy!, I should be so good now. Between my shoulder, Bobs knee and neck, my Mothers' knees and my Fathers' feeling sore everywhere, our house looked like a pain clinic this morning. I want some warm weather!!!!
My niece Kate was over also on Friday and I wanted to thank her for helping Uncle Bob with the phone....she did some reaching and plugging for us under our bed that we haven't been able to get to. Also wanted to thank you bloggers that keep us smiling with your wit and levity....MDF, Eileen, KrisM, DebT, KM, Kim...whether intentional or not, you guys crack me up and it seems like it's always right at the exact moment that I need it. Kath, do you really not remember how to get to our house?? We're right down the street. Oh and I have to confess to Jax and Connie that I shamelessly stole the Lucy/Ricky thing from that paragon of wit, Kathi Moore. BTW, we don't have HBO anymore so I don't watch the Sopranos, and even when I did watch it, I only peeked thru my fingers. I don't do well with violence(gratuitous or otherwise).And Mary Day, PUHLEEZ, don't worry about using the blog for communicating with other bloggers....reach out and touch/blog whoever you like....that's what I always loved so much about Debs' blog, and I know she enjoyed it too. Actually, I think we need to have some serious cosmo party talk again. And MDF, you're out of school, so you HAVE to come!!! Also wanted to say to our fluffy buddy from MSC, hope you're feeling better, they've got a handle on your problem and you are already or will be soon out of GVH. Also, it was great talking to you today Charmaine...you look wonderful, and I'm so glad you're really liking ICON.
Once again, our thanks to everyone for your continued support. I'll try to be better about writing. It's funny how you start to slip back into your old patterns of daily living...only natural I guess. That is what we're striving for after all. And sometimes I feel like I'm writing the same-o, same-o each time, and who really wants to hear that. But I do love hearing from you all, so I will try to post more frequently. Please keep the prayers and good vibes going, especially for our dearest friend Deb T. who just heard on Friday that her chromosomes have reverted back to an abnormal pattern, and she is now facing a bone marrow transplant or mini-stem-cell tx from a donor...a much riskier procedure than the autologous sct(her own stem cells) she was hoping and shooting for. All our prayers and love are with you and Joe, Deb. And I will close right there, wishing everyone a good week ahead.
All our love,
Bob and Mo
PS, A great big dating game kiss to the newlyweds Sarah and Kenny. And mucho congratulations to Mom and Dad, Lorraine and Bob. So sorry that we couldn't celebrate with you all on the big day. Guess we won't be hearing from you guys for a while as your blogger is on her honeymoon. Hope everything came off smoothly yesterday. Let us know. Wanna hear all about it.

Mo, i really think your parents and english teachers did a nice job with you, your blogs are really well written.... lengthy, but informative.. be feeling alittle lucky that im not near by to bring you a great dinner.. it most likely would be a frozen lasagna from Costco! All that hungarian food sounds interesting, although i must admit, im not too adventurous when it comes to ordering food i can't pronounce..
hope bonnie feels better soon, will include her in my prayers, along with all of you guys.. i also hope your dad feels better soon... i think i met him once about 30 years ago!!
Keeping my fingers crossed for some good news for you guys tomorrow..hope the neck and knee can get some help also.. ttyl..mdf

jeez, i didn't know i was putting good intentions in for bonnie humphries! hang in there bonnie. mo, i know why i have travel anxiety. i leave kulpsville for 53 hours and all this unfolds. tell your mom she needs new doo-dads b/c she deserves them and that's that. i am really disheartened to hear about deb's chromosome reversal..i am baffled, i thought chromosomes were the foundation of who we were, no idea they could change. i am hoping that means they could swing around again and head in the more favorable direction. boy oh boy. i have some really cute paper lanterns that have lights in them equal to the wattage of a lightening bug...when the evenings warm up a bit, we will have some cosmos outside and we can all bay at the moon. xoxoxoxoxkm
looking at the moon as we speak and it is magnificent [note to mo..feivel movie] forgot in my last blog to send a smooch to our rock dr. bob. xoxox
Hey Mo and Robert, just a quick note as i just talked with mo for 30 min. on the phone. (do i ever run out of words?) Your house did sound a bit pitifil with bob's neck and knee. your shoulder , poor joe with his face and ribs and your mom.YIKES!!! you all looked good though and the silent prayer service inspired me to come home and nap. i prayed for all of us and our sweet boonie till i fell fast asleep.joe made a great dinner of eggplant parm and i made sauce and meatballs. followed by poundcake with icing. may day and eileenC. eat your hearts out. anyway hugs and kissesto bob and mo and yes fellow bloggers we really do need that cosmo party. need a firm date from dr. porterand maybe we can do that. it would be so good to see everyone and for all the bloggers to meet. gotta get to bed. have an early appt. at penn to get some blood. sleep tight oyu guys. love deb
Hi Mo and Bob,
Sorry to hear everyone's aching a bit - hopefully the warm sun will help you all heal! Mom told me about Joe's nasty fall, thank goodness he's alright!
Looks like the rest of this week will feel more like summer. Get some deck time in early and take it easy!
Glad to hear you're home and on the mend, Bonnie H.
Love, Jessie
