MEMORABLE MASTER'S AND MOTHER'S WEEKEND
We had a memorable weekend. First I can report that Lou's bones are stronger than we thought. Friday night we stayed at what was the Radisson Hotel in Denton that has been bought by UNT who canceled the restaurant and lounge. They did have a free hot breakfast Saturday morning. We ate after Lou took a shower and slipped falling down in the tub. I helped her get up with no injury to any bones or even strains on her left arm that she used to break her fall.
After breakfast we drove to the campus where Lou joined the Regents in getting a robe and a tam type cap on her very short hair do. Her hair is growing but is very short. She was able to walk down the aisle and sit on the podium with other Regents for the commencent exercises at 9. She didn't have to attend the services at 12 and 3. Our granddaughter, Ashley Pagenkopf, was receiving her Master of Science degree in Child Life with a large class of Master's students many of whom had taken courses online. We had 10 family members sitting on the front row of the graduating students in seats marked Regent Rodenberger. We felt honored. Ashley's husband and his mother joined members of our family to watch the event. After we enjoyed the fruit and cookie buffet for the graduates and their families and then went back to Weatherford for Ashley's party where about 30 of her friends and relatives celebrated her achievment. She received a number of nice gifts. We enjoyed another meal prepared by our talented daughter-in-law, Mary Kathryn, who had chips and dips with specially prepared dips and side dishes that she added to Rudy's BBQ that she picked up in Denton. Rudy's had an outlet in College Station and Dallas I think. Excellent meat and sauce.
And of course, brownies as well as ice cream with hot fudge! Some of the others enjoyed the strawberries also.
Then today we went to church at Aledo UMC where we found that Lou is listed in their prayer list. That probably helped with her fall also. While we were there, our daughter, Kathy, and her husband, Keith, took their daughter, Vanessa, to Love Field to catch a SW Airlines flight back to Lubbock. They got back in time for the meal to honor the mothers. We had Ashley's mother-in-law as well as Lou, MK's mother, Lou, Kathy, MK who all had presents and calls from their children.
And at 8 p.m. everyone has checked in getting home safely to complete a wonderful weekend.
