We had some house guests this month.  Gunny and Piggy (aka the Terrible Terriers) came to stay with us for a few days while Granny and Pop-Pop went on their annual trip to the Jamboree in the Hills.

On our way to the annual Family Reunion, we took a field trip to Pittsburgh, PA. 

While there, we went to the Carnegie Science Center to see their roboworld exhibit.  It was really neat to see all the different things robot can do. 

We also went on a Duck Tour.  We wondered why the vehicles were called Ducks until Pop-Pop told us about this and now we know!

And we also took a ride on the Monongahela Incline.  The view of Pittsburgh from the Incline Station at the top of Mt. Washington is really impressive.

See you next month...

Ross and his new guitar

The pool is open and school is out for the Summer.  Now if it would only stop raining! 

Ross has decided to learn how to play the guitar in hopes of becoming a world famous rock and roll (or maybe country) entertainer. 

Owen is honing his skills as as Game Boy 24x7 in hopes of becoming a world champion gamer.

And Uncle Brian and Aunt Rosemary are now running a home for the care and feeding of old Air Force veterans.

See you next month...

The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year.  Let us be thankful for the fools.  But for them the rest of us could not succeed. -- Mark Twain

Nothing much new to report this month.  Pop-Pop had hip replacement surgery a few weeks back.  He is doing fine with his recovery so far.  Baseball season has started and so far the Washington Nationals are not much better than last year.  Maybe they will get better as the season progresses.

See you next month...

    Congratulations to Granny and Pop-Pop, who celebrated their Wedding Anniversary on March 1st.

    A once in a lifetime event...Ross celebrated his 12th birthday on the 12th of this month.  One other rare event occurred on the third of this month,  i.e., 03/03/09.  We'll leave the significance of this as an exercise for the reader!

    We also had the biggest March snowfall in 10 years this month.  We got a couple of days off from school as a result.

    Gunny and Piggy We going to have a birthday celebration at Granny and Pop-Pop's house this coming Sunday with Gunston and Piggy.  Gunston will be eight years old and Piggy will be seven. 

    Pop-Pop's alma mater GMU lost to VCU in the CAA Tournament final, so VCU gets the NCAA Tournament bid.  GMU will probably not get at-large invite to the NCAA Tournament, but probably has a good chance of getting an invitation to the NIT.

    See you next month...
