Happy Graduation, Mychal!

The Rahrich family had a very exciting day today, and we were there to share in the excitement. Mychal graduated from Erie High School today. There's lots of pictures - so take a look at them in my photo album. The link is on the right hand side.

What a great day, and how proud are Chris and Larry - rightly so! Take a look at their fine son, Mychal.

Congratulations Mike! Have a great life ahead!

Jump Rope for Heart

This is Elizabeth, she is the daughter of our nephew Matt Anderson. Isn't she a beauty? Liz was involved in a 'Jump Rope for Heart' and we donated some $ for her participation. Liz collected the 3rd highest donations for her entire school! Her class gave her a party. She is 7 and in the first grade. This is the Thank You card she sent to us.

If the writing is too light to read:

"Dear auna & Bob

thank you for helping me.

Love Elizabeth"

Hopefully you can read it, it's in her own handwriting.

Oh, and, I think 'auna' is short for Aunt Donna :) Cute, huh!

They said it would be here May 9th

LOOK! It's hard to believe that Bob is eligible for Social Security....but, truly he is and we will now look forward each month to receiving payment from our Government. They said that he could expect a check on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, with the first being received 5-9-07. Yep, Bob received it yesterday, May 9th.

One of the benefits of getting older :) Stay healthy everyone and enjoy the years to come!

Hunting in your own back yard

Well, here's the story. You can't see a whole lot in this picture, but, we spent lots of $$ on flowering plants and shrubs in our back yard. The rabbits have managed to eat about half of them already - so Bob is fighting back! Those pesky rabbits.

Happy Birthday to Cindy

Here are most of the Rahrich girls - although we're missing one of the best - Sara. Now, this picture is being posted in honor of Cindy's birthday - she is the leader of all of us! Cindy - or, Cinsia as she is well known in our family - had a birthday yesterday. Sorry, I missed it by a day.

Hope you had a great day Cinsia!

Here are the girls: Back Row: Cindy, Janay, Chris, myself, Barb
Front Row: Kate, Tessa, Melissa, Mary
Oh, and let's not forget Honey (dog).

Rain, Rain, Go Away.....Please!

If anyone is wondering why we would have 2 buckets and a plastic bin sitting together in our bedroom...... we have a leaky roof. And, it's raining to beat hell today. All you can do is laugh - it's not worth crying about. Bob is leaving work early today -- probably around 9:00am to make sure the buckets don't overflow!

Denny

We all lost a good person last week. It's scary to know that you or a loved one may not wake up in the morning.

Bob worked with Denny for 20+ years, and they were buddies. It was a shock to hear that he passed away.

Say 'I love you' often - and give hugs!
