Barry

New prayer request...Barry is spending tonight overlooking the East River from his Bellevue hospital room where he was admitted this morning. He was having erratic heartbeats which they had under control by this afternoon. They wanted to monitor him over night though. He didn't have any answers to the cause of it when I spoke to him late tonight. They did say his heart looked strong though. Hopefully, he will be released in the morning with good news. That's all I know for now.

Savannah loves to chew on her right foot but she is willing to share her left one with her brother.

Weekend Visit

Barry flew in on Saturday to see his friend Cy who is beginning his treatments this week (chemo/radiation) for his brain tumor. They were not able to do the surgery as planned because the tumor was not defined enough, I believe. We continue to ask you to remember him and his family in your prayers. He wasn't here very long but was here long enough for me to get this picture of he and Ridge playing the "twin" game.

Softball

Just wanted to share these photos. Yes, we are very proud of Amber and her accomplishments. She, Jason, & the team have all worked extremely hard to get where they are. Will keep you updated.

Softball

As Margaret said in the comment, E/C All Stars did win their first game, 11-3, lost second 8-2. They will play in the state games in Greensboro next Saturday, to date - time unknown. We will spend Friday and Saturday night there. Hannah has schooling in Georgia all the next week and I'll be spending the week with her, so we'll leave Greensboro and head toward GA. Rick, Jason and our third baseman will be heading back home for a "wifeless, motherless week". Rick and I have enjoyed cheering them on! Go Edenton/Chowan All Stars!, representing the Albemarle District (Gates, Pasquotank, Perquimans, & Chowan Co).

Went to see Dad today. He's having the "throbbing forehead" problem again. From his description, he and I both think it may be a circulation issue. As long as he's moving, it doesn't bother him much. Sometimes when he sitting, he's doing the "Stevie Wonder" rock, which helps it not hurt??? He says he's going to see his doctor on Tuesday. He says he need some relief. He's embarrassed in public to keep rocking.

Good luck Ed on your second week of treatments.

Congratulations to Amber and Jason for doing so well with your softball season. We're all very proud of you both. Especially Granny. I know no one has enjoyed the games more than Bertha has. Of course, we all know there's nothing like grandchildren.

Talking about grandchildren. Cortlyn turned 12 on Friday. As she will be happy to tell you that means that's she almost 13 (one of those years that you really look forward to. My last one that I was looking forward to was turning 65 so that I could go on Medicare. Sad isn't it??

Chris's family and Beverly are going to Florida next week and Howie's family are leaving at the end of the week to go to Myrtle Beach (or vacinity) for the Meyers week together all 20 of them I believe if I've counted correctly the following week. Lol and Amber are leaving Thursday and Kyle and Howie are going on Sunday after Howie picks up Kyle from his church camp. Hope all have a really safe and fun trips.
