Rocky River VII (1987)

The year 1988 seemed to be noted for marriages: Mike and Donna were married Feb. 20th in Ft. Lauderdale, and Kent & Tamiko tied the knot at the [First] Unitarian Church in April.

One year later in 1989, Brynne was born on April 14th and Donna + I shared our April birthdays with her.
Other happy events during the late Eighties included Erich’s + Kyle's visits with us in Rocky River + Marco Island.  Fun times were ours when Jean + Milt L shared their pool on Tonawanda [Drive] with our guys with their grandsons.  We drove to Danville, Pa. where we met Kent + Tamiko half-way from R.I. for the exchange.  What fun was in store when they arrived in R.R., not just with the Ls, but our annual trips to that great amusement park, Cedar Point.  "What fun until we got home about 11 p.m. + Grandma made us get showers before going to bed!"
More fun was in store for us at Marco Island when we made our annual visits during ski week.  Other grandkids of Marco friends came during ski week + we had our own club house meetings.  Too bad our cousin Ryan couldn’t come from Colo. at the same time.
In addition to our entertaining grandchildren in Rocky River and Marco Island in the late 80’s + early 90’s, Bert + I decided to check out various Elderhostels in different part of the country.  One of our favorites was at the Highlands in No. Car. + another one was Gettysburg, Pa.  We did eleven in all before retirement at Azalea Trace, and you can read about them in our folders in the lower drawer of my filing cabinet + also in my green diary.
