When I'm 64

A supermoon lunar eclipse is happening right now and 1982 was the last time this occurred. It will become a blood moon during the total eclipse because the refraction will give a orange and red tone. We spent our week in Grand Haven the 15-22 of August with all the boys there the first 2 days. It was warm and sunny and it was the most time in the water in years. Jon, Sharon and Silas left later on Sunday and Phillip left Tuesday afternoon. Simon and Lukas were there all week and we went up to Muskegon on Thursday as 6 to 8 feet waves were crashing in on the beach and the pier. On the 29th Gabor and I went to Mark Neering's funeral in Sterling Heights, it was a week short of his 64th birthday. Ray Morris was there and Gabor was relieved when he saw Mark's urn as he was apprehensive of an open casket. We visited with his family and bade out farewell as Mark had suffered from ALS. We attended the dinner afterwards and shared memories of Mark. I started the first 4 days of school at Waverly East with Pat Albright subbing for Mrs. Blodgett's 6th grade. I've also been in Mr. Dimick's 5th grade as they are hiring a new assistant principal. I've also been to many doctors appointments as I ruptured my left bicep tendon and needed an ultrasound and MRI. They probably will not operate on the tendon as I have no pain and full mobility of the arm but I will find out Thursday about my rotor cuff. Jon and Sharon came up this weekend and we went up to Jim and Betty's so they could see Silas. Phillip was here also for the MSU v. CMU  tailgate and recruiting for Marathon Pope Francis was in America for 6 days and I believe it will change the world and our country for the better as his message was for the poor and families and their importance to a just society. He is the pope of the people and all should be able to respond to his simple teaching.
