"Bridge Players & Family" Refocuses

Margaret has altered the essence of her MSN Groupssite. Heretofore, Bridge Players & Family has been primarily maintained as a cyber-community for the group of bridge players with whom she and Theodore regularly engage. The content is now directed toward "family, pets...and hobbies". In her own words:

"I have tried to let this site just die a natural death, but Ted keeps renewing it. So I am just going to change the content and do family, pets, grandchildren, and hobbies of others. Please feel free to add pictures."

All are invited to stop by for a visit.

A Busy Fortnight Ahead

The upcoming Independence Day holiday week is shaping up to be quite busy in terms of visitors to the North Texas branches of several affiliate families.

Sandy is taking a few days of vacation to visit with members of the Johnson Clan. She is due to arrive in Dallas this Friday, 30 June, and will be staying through Independence Day. By coincidence, Andrea and Michael will be in the area during the weekend and Joanne will make a special trip to take advantage of the rendez-vous. Preliminary plans call for a dinner gathering Saturday evening at the home of Mike and Cathy followed by an informal breakfast at Marion's the next morning.

Arriving on the heels of Sandy's departure will be Fred and Carmen. Tagging along with them will be Collin, who will have spent the preceding seven days visiting his grandparents in Florida. The Adame Family patriarch will spend Wednesday through Friday with Mark and Kristie before moving to the other end of the county and staying with Elizabeth and Herman through the weekend. Planned activities include a family lunch on Friday and a rodeo on Saturday. Departure will come early Monday morning (10 July), as Fred and Carmen prepare to return to Florida with Avery, Ethan and, once again, Collin. The quintet will sail on the Disney Cruise Line Thursday for a trip to the Bahamas.

Trouble in Jefferson Davis Parish

In keeping with disreputable clichés associated of the State in question, some mendacious goings on have been reported with respect to board members of the I.E. Andrus Interests corporation. Legal remedies are being pursued toward an amicable resolution. Corporate shareholders are advised to make contact with the site administrator as soon as possible for information and updates.

Wienen Whiner

Andrea and Michael have announced that they are expecting their first child during the month of December. This information came as a shock to many of us, but we wish them the best and congratulate them on their pending arrival.

Their message was delivered via a 3Mb video file, which was misdirected* to several recipients. Below is a reproduction of the text contained within the file.

"There is something I want to tell you"
 
Try not to laugh when I say this...
 
Though your life will probably go on as usual
 
<newspaper facsimile bearing the headline "Expected Arrival December 10" with accompanying sonogram image>
 
Our lives will never be the same
 
Yeah I know... you thought it would never happen
 
We were just waiting until you least expected it
 
...Just thought you would want to know.

They seem to have already determined potential names and the video credits as "Special Appearence" by "Baby g" or "(Baby k)".

* The original announcement appears to have been sent on or around 02 June. However, it was sent to an obsolete address for your humble editor. Please take a moment to ensure that your address book entries are current. If there is any doubt, please make an effort to correct any discrepancies.
