Kim came to visit Pappa yesterday. They did a little puzzling and then went out to find yummy whoopie pies from  a bakery in town. They ended up at Mia's tennis match at the high school. It was a very sweet visit and a good day!

May Showers

Ros is doing pretty well this spring.  Yesterday he, Volley and Kathy went to watch Mia play a tennis match at the high school. There is a lot of commotion in the Farnham household right now with all the graduation activities for Mia; Max coming home in another week or so and Lucie's usual gang of girl friends.  A bit of a concern is that Ros has had a cough that has become a mild pneumonia. Hopefully, antibiotics, vitamins and nebulizing will straighten everything out. Appetite is good! He is just taking it easy at home - no Spectrum Club for the past 2 weeks. Bethany and Jo Ellen, his caregivers, are lovely companions and so helpful!  We have discovered Craig's List to buy more puzzles as Ros is voracious - completing a 300 piece puzzle every other day! He is very particular about his puzzles. We are learning more about what he likes about puzzles - that's for sure!!

Ros is looking forward to getting up to Sunapee for the first two weeks in July when Ted takes two full weeks off. It will be a lot of fun. Volley is allowed to stay in the house we are renting in Fisher's Bay. Tickets for Ros, Ted and Kathy have been booked to travel out to San Juan Capistrano in September for granddaughter Lauren and Shaun's wedding which is very exciting!  

We are having an open house to celebrate Ros' 93rd Birthday on Saturday June 16th from 10am-3pm - 179 Perkins Row Topsfield MA. Stop by for a visit. He would love to see you! Bring old pictures to chat with him about days gone by (his recall is not good so a picture is a good way to jog his memory and have a more satisfying conversation). If you cannot make it and want to SKYPE or FACETIME anytime, just let us know. Ros is getting all caught up on the latest ways to stay in touch!
