Wonderful Weekend in Chicago

Hello Everybody,

This weekend was awesome because of the weather, great food, Butch being able to relax and the draft is finally over! The past week was challenging for him but we all know he works best when there is a little pressure. I can already hear a difference in his speech. He is sounding out letters and saying some names. This is HUGE because he would never try to say anyone's name when talking to you.

While he watched the NFL draft all day Saturday, my niece picked me up for lunch and a little girl time (mani/pedi) which I needed. We have never walked so much and its great!

On Sunday, Butch walked across the street to the Catholic church while I listened to last weeks sermon from our church (White Rock Baptist). If you didn't know, he grew up Catholic in DC and was an alter boy....memories and flashback must have been a monster!

As I mentioned in an earlier blog, we are trying new restaurants.....yes, this is the high-lite of my evening which is fine with me. You will see pics below. We also walked the waterfront/beach, whatever they call it.....well, one of us did. The temperature has been in the 60's and low 70's. God just keeps on blessing us!  :)

Today, R.I.C Aphasia program is incorporating music as part of the participants therapy. If you didn't know, most people who have aphasia or some type of speech impairment from a stroke can sing....yes sing. They would not let family members watch any of the therapy this week but next week, IT'S ON!

Enjoy the pics and keep those prayers going up. We miss EVERYBODY and we are counting the days until we return.

Butch and Sherron

  3. So glad you all are having a wonderful time! Be strong! I wouldn't be the young man I am today without the strength and persistent nature you all instilled in me! Ever since I was wearing over-sized Corona tee-shirts as PJ's you all have always taught me the importance of hardwork, so I expect the same from you uncle B! Like you always told me, you get out what you put in, and while your sleeping your competition is working. Take that attitude and blow the rough off the building.CREAM ALWAYS RISES TO THE TOP! I know the Marine in you is already working harder than anyone there, but these are just my kind words son to father letting you know its "NUTS & NECKBONES" time. I say a prayer for you all and our family everyday, but we know whatever is the result will be GOD'S WILL, and we will be perfectly fine with his final decision. Once again I love you all and can't wait to see you guys!

  4. Hey,
    Diann & I love the blog. Hang in there. Glad to get updates without having to worry y'all to death. I'm sure Bunny & Ron know all the hot spots in Chicago. The pics are great, but Butch, I'm not sure I'm buying the one of you on the park bench next to the 6 mile marker. Nice try though. Stay strong. Luv, Steve, or Stevie as Butch says

  6. Hey! I understand this is sort of off-topic however I needed
    to ask. Does managing a well-established website like yours
    take a lot of work? I am brand new to operating a blog but I do write in my diary on a daily basis.
    I'd like to start a blog so I can share my experience and thoughts online. Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
