Mel Fowler Jr. gets traded to Minnesota Vikings!

Just got a call from Mel Jr.'s parents that Mel Jr. got traded to Minnesota Vikings as starting CENTER! The news is already on their website. Their center got hurt/back injury. We are quite excited for him and his family. Since he was hired by the Browns they had not treated him very nice (in my opinion). This all happened this afternoon. And he is going to be playing with a few guys he had played with at Maryland University/the Terrapins. Even the head coach was a Terp, and grew up on Long Island where the Fowlers still live. Small world. The only drawback is that Tim and I won't be able to see him play personally any more. We went to Cleveland several times. Good things do come to good people. Mel Jr. is a type of person who never talks negative about anyone. Good luck Mel Jr.! We'll be watching for you on Sept. 11th opening game.

After getting out of bed late, I did manage to cut the lawn. Looks much better after getting a bit of rain this week.

Tim had his first soccer game as a freshman. They lost 2-0 but still played a good game. It's such a social event, great talking to everyone. All my food angels were there. A good time.

Tim left after the game with Ben and his family to go to their cabin for the weekend. They will be dirt biking, the first time Tim has rode his bike all summer. So he was quite excited.

While sitting up here this evening, I've noticed that the area of my incision for the breast surgery is, I have some blisters and couple have opened up. My first sign of radiation at it's best. Immediately put some fresh aloe on it. It was only a matter of time that something could happen. Strong stuff. Will show the doctor it on my weekly check up on Tuesday.

All is good here. Once again we congratulate Mel Jr.
