I went to Cook on Saturday to visit with Dad and Shirley.  The Kontios were gathering to celebrate Kathy’s retirement and before they went out to dinner came over with the remains of Kathy’s delicious retirement cake.  In the photo above are Melissa (Kathy’s daughter), cousins Kathy, Ann, Sue and Aunt Siggie who will be celebrating her birthday next week.

Dad, Shirley and I attended the Grand March for the Cook High School Prom to see Justin and Alisha in their finest.  All of the kids looked so nice and had a fun evening planned including dinner at the El-Roy.  I think that is the same place my classmates went to for their prom dinners!

Here are Justin and Alisha again with their friends after the Grand March.

Violet had a very busy day inspecting “Grandpa” and Shirley’s home and “marking” spots of it as her own.  She was so busy in fact that when we got home at about 7:45 pm, she fell asleep by 8:00 and didn’t wake up until 7:00 this morning!  All of that attention wore her out.  She was unusally attached to me with the large crowd around.  Tom and Lisa stopped by too and gave me a great shirt that says “All Dogs are Pets, Pugs are Family”.  I was tickled to death and look forward to wearing it.
