Our family gets together.....

October, 2010

Happily when her family arrived to visit this fall, Dorothy Brady was doing so well.   Her recent hospital stay signaled the need for oxygen, and as soon as her body got used to more, she started feeling so much better.
We celebrated by having an early Thanksgiving meal.  Turkey with all the trimmings, including Adrian's Potato Fiesta, Ellen's scrumptious stuffing, Gay's macaroni salad, and the best pickled beets I've ever had.   Kaitlyn was visiting from Paul Smith College, where she is pulling straight A's.   Erin brought her new puppy, Bobby and Allyssa.  We also celebrated Adrian's health. 

 It was so good to see everyone.   The New York colors were beautiful, probably at their peak, when we were there.  My daughter, Kathleen, will be visiting this week as she is going to Ithaca College to see her son, Ryan.  I hope to be able to send more photos when she returns.

Mom Brady

Hi, Family,

I just wanted to let everyone know that Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma Brady hasn't been feeling well.  She's been in and out of St. Mary's hospital this past week, but seems much better now that they have adjusted her medications, and oxygen.   She is now 89 years of age.   

I'm sure she would love to hear from all of us.    If you would like to send cards, drawings, letters, she would be thrilled.    Kathy and I will be visiting from Oct. 13-26th.   Aunt Celeste is now living with Mom and continues to create her usual fun and ministrations to our mama.   I love watching her sit at Mother's regal feet, doing her nails.   It is just as it should be.

Address:   Dorothy R. Brady, 110 Deer Creek Blvd., Gloversville, NY 12078.

Also, my sister Laura's husband, Adrian, has just undergone some surgery, is home now and having his toenails colored glow in the dark green, last time I called.   His doctors tell him he will return to "normal" quite soon.   Whatever he meant by that....I will just wait to see.

Adrian Jessop, 7 Conrad, Albany, NY 12205.





 

Logan's Fourth Birthday Party

October and May are the prime birthday months in our family.  Monica is Oct. 2 we had a wonder party at Flavors of India that night.   Lots of fun and new taste sensations. 

Logan was 4 on Oct. 4.   He had a party at Live Oak Park in Berkeley under the redwoods and live oaks, naturally.  The alligator pinata was a great hit!






Logan was the perfect host as Pila took his turn at bat.  Finally Aunt Kathy, Grandma Irene and multiple strong men broke open that crusty alligator and released it's treasure.
