....that was probably the most heartbreaking letter ever! The letter starts out...Mom, I miss you....I want to come home...I miss you....Can you pick me up....I miss you....I am crying....I miss you...Please "rite" back...I miss you....I love you Mom...I miss you...Love, Mary
After worrying about Lucy for 24 hours, then I get this...another thing to worry about. I tried calling the camp but the office was closed. Eddis reads the letter and I am about in tears....he says, "it's good for her". I started thinking...she has not been all that nice to me lately, so maybe this is good for her...BUT on the other hand I don't want her to be sad. I was assured by another mother that she is fine and pulling at my "guilty heartstrings"! Lucy is starting to feel better, still not 100% but on her way to a full recovery. Darn anal glands!
Last night Eddis and I went to one of favorite Hawkeye events. It was the Quarterback Club lawn party. One of only two events a year woman are invited too. YES, as always I am so fine with the tradition that was started with my grandfather as the "good ole boys club". I am more than fine with...I LOVE it! I love traditions.
I love the fact that the football coaching staff is always there. It is wonderful to have a staff member at our table every year. I love chatting with Kirk, we had a great chat last night and YES...my lips are sealed about where he is going to be tonight. I promised, I would not tell anyone until Thursday. He mentioned how much he loves our Quarterback Club and how he and the staff actually get know the members, there are to my guess around 100 members, the oldest member has been in the club for 59 years! Oh, and he delivered my brother! I get a little sad, thinking my grandfather would love to sit at a table with us at this event. He played basketball at Iowa and I remember Saturday's at Kinnick just like the memories I am creating for my kids. Kirk commented on the fact that it is such a family tradition to attend Iowa football games. No, we are not wishing our summer away, but one cannot help but look forward to Kinnick on a Saturday!
This weekend brings, Eddis' 44th birthday and Father's Day. Teddy is taking a friend to the lake. It will be so nice for them. I just don't want to make the trip down this weekend. I HATE the drive and I have to come back on Sunday, it is not as bad if I could spend a few extra days. I just really don't like it. Eddis keeps telling me when we get a bigger house, I will like it better....really I don't think that will happen. Like I said, they all love it and that is great...I am glad they do love it. I do like going on the boat but there will be too many people to all go on the boat this weekend. Did I mention how much I HATE the drive!
