Happy Belated Anniversary, Dan and Patty

I would like to wish my sister Patty and her husband Dan a belated Happy Anniversary. Their anniversary was on May 5. I hope that they enjoy their anniversary gifts.

Since it was Cinco de Mayo, I celebrated with a three dollar burrito and tortilla chips for dinner at Moe's Southwest Grill near Parmatown Mall in Parma. It was quite tasty. However, my trip home was delayed when the bus ran over a mirror (or something else) that came off of a car in a one car accident. I did not see the accident, but no one was hurt in the car or on the bus. Fortunately, the next bus showed up about half an hour later. I then spent the rest of the evening relaxing, after I removed sticks from the lawn.

There was another complication involving a bus. A truck broke down in the middle of the road in the Warren and Munn Roads area in Cleveland. The bus was blocked from its normal route. We went down Warren Road and eventually turned down Edgecliff Road to reach Rocky River Drive. I was only on this bus to kill time between buses. Thankfully, I made the bus to my destination of Great Northern Mall in North Olmsted. Once again, there were no injuries.

Hopefully, there won't be any other bus complications any time soon.

Easter 2011

The McDonnell Easter was a very nice event! It started with 10:00 A.M. Mass at St. Leo Church in Cleveland. My sister Kathleen and my brother Bob were in attendance. Kathleen went back to Regina High School in South Euclid for Easter Lunch. Bob and I had leftover Spaghetti from Good Friday for lunch. I then made Scalloped potatoes to bring to dinner at my sister Maggie and her husband Mike's house. Bob provided a Peanut Butter Silk Pie from Perkins.

At Maggie and Mike's house, we ate ham, baked beans with pork sausage, green beans with almonds, cranberry sauce, Crescent rolls, corn, sweet potato casserole, cheesecake, and the two items mentioned in the previous paragraph, among other things. The food was tasty!

The participants besides the hosts, Bob, Kathleen, and myself were my brother Joe and my niece Mandy. It was a very adult event. It was a lot more pleasant than Christmas, as far as our house goes.

Until next time, enjoy the Month of May.

Happy Belated Birthday, Emily

On Monday, my great-niece Emily turned 2. I hope that she enjoyed her celebration. Toys 'R' Us will not be the same.

My Easter Report will be forthcoming.

Happy Anniversary, Mike and Maggie
