A Birthday Party with no birthday girls




Its July 25th and it is Jo and Eva's birthday. Eva is in Barcelona and Jo left yesterday for Barcelona and then to Mozambique. Its seems extreme for them to go to the other side of the world to escape from home but what are we supposed to believe. I know they are saving the world but this blog post is for self pity so we are going to enjoy being miserable.
We went ahead and had a party without them complete with a cake and some party goers who thought they were at a board meeting for Parents Reaching Out. Little did they know that they were at a party. It was a pretty good pretend party.
Happy Birthday.
I also put a picture of Snuggles hiding under the bed. He hates parties.
More on Asheville





While we were in Asheville we met a real moose. Jo named him Mr. Moose. Also is a picture of Mom's apple pie. Yum.

Jo recently moved from her apartment and volunteered me to move her. Two days later I had filled up our house with 2 years of med school memories. You will recall I just cleaned out high school and college and now my house is filled with stuff again.
Jo decided to take her boards in Asheville and after the work we went white water rafting. The picture to the right shows Mom and Jo smiling as they go over a 50' drop which is just on the other side of the railroad overpass. What bravado!



These pictures are out of order but show us going over some rapids. Jo is in back in the white helmet and Mom is in front of her. I am cringing on the other side of the raft.
