Mary Jo's House

Stephen and I had a funeral to go to on Saturday. The kids went to one of their favorite places.... Mary Jo's house. They had a blast! Her house is very kid friendly, and they always have a great time there. She even let them take pictures with her camera. They aren't the best photographers, but it is always fun to see things through their eyes.
Kathleen was disappointed that she didn't get to go. (She spent that part of the day with Jason.) She told me yesterday, "I miss my Mary Jo." I reassured her that Mary Jo was coming over to eat with us, and she could sit by her then.

Dress-Up

On Monday, Mary Jo came over to eat supper with us. After they supper, Isabelle and Kathleen played dress-up. They wanted to get Mary Jo involved, so they brought her lots of things to wear. She was a good sport about it, and they had a great time.

Mary Jo's

One of our "going away" parties was at Mary Jo's. It was just a few of our closer friends. The kids had fun laying on Mary Jo's water bed, watching a movie. Then Caleb moved on to play with the cat and enjoy some fudge. Yum, yum.

Mary Jo's Birthday

There is not much to do in Browning. Ask anyone who has lived here, or visited, or driven through... So we have to make our own entertainment. Any excuse for a get together will do. It can be an interview, get to know you party, a going away party, a holiday, a birthday, baby shower, etc. We just enjoy the chance to spend time together eating yummy food, talking and laughing.
Mary Jo loves to be a hostess, and lately many of our parties have been at her house. Everyone loves this because Mary Jo is a wonderful cook and makes lots and lots of food.
This time it was her turn! We had Mary Jo's birthday party last night at Peter & Alice's house. A bunch of friends and neighbors showed up with presents-- and of course food! We spent the evening eating and listening to funny stories everyone remembers from the hospital. Mary Jo has been working at the Hospital here for over 20 years! As you can imagine, she has quite a few stories. Happy Birthday, Mary Jo!
