Bob's Inaugural Posting
Like Art Carney in golf attire, I am addressing the Blog for the first time. Thanks to our great "kids", Robin, Dave, and Andy, we have this great new vehicle to express ourselves and keep family and friends abreast of the latest developments. I'm even listening to a radio station I created on Pandora's Box, as a move at warp speed into new technology. Thanks, guys, for the idea and effort to implement the Blog. Love, Dad
Carol's Inaugural Blog
Happy Thanksgiving Weekend. After way too much turkey and pie, we are heading back from Atlanta to WNC. Until next time and posting, much love
Carol
"How did it happen that..." (a group project)
*HOW DID IT HAPPEN THAT…
(Initiate by Sister Judy and Brother-in-Law Marty)
(To all visitors and/or participants to the Carol and Bob Blog: You are cordially invited to add Carol and Bobby “ism” Happenings - this is merely a starter list, now it’s your turn. Add one or more happenings and we will all watch the list grow! Be sure to identify your contribution.)
The knees in all of Judy’s slacks were stretched out (Carol wore them)
All of the coats taken to a BBYO Convention disappeared (Carol borrowed them)
Mr. Gregory, the next door neighbor on Dellwood Drive, called to see if someone was hurt…he heard someone screaming (Carol, age 14, reacting to one of her teachers at Northside High School)
The JOJ (BBYO) Basketball Team didn’t win a game (According the coach, Marty Kogon, “Carol was better than Judy!”)
The best songs were written at Lake Lanier during storms (Bobby wrote them)
A golf club ended up in the upper branches of a tree at the Meridan Mississippi Country Club (Bobby played golf)
Judy made a 4-point landing on the 3rd fairway of the Meridian Country (Carol drove the golf cart and threw her out)
The towel bar “just came out of the wall” in the guest bathroom (Bobby “just” hung up the towel)
The clothing bar and all of the clothes in the closets of the guest room ended up on the floor (Victim of a Carol and Bobby visit)
All of the condiments on the 3 shelves on the refrigerator door landed on the kitchen floor (Bobby was making breakfast)
During Passover 2 Temptee Cream Cheeses, 1 Whipped Butter, 1 jar of Preserves, 1/2 box of matzahs and 6 eggs are consumed daily for breakfast (Carol and Judy really love Passover)
In one day there are 4 sets of sweaty clothes (Bobby’s typical day activities – running 5 miles, biking 20 miles; jumping rope for 45 minutes, stretching – and that’s before breakfast!)
A horseback ride during a family trip to Tucson ended abruptly (Carol and a cactus collided)
A Security Deposit is a pre-requisite for a visit to Winterthur Lane (Experience of 60 years of living with Carol and 38 years of visits from the Deutsches – we’re slow learners)
Canyon Ranch visits deserve hazard pay (Carol left Judy for one class and Judy ended up with the medics; Marty did a bike ride with Bobby – need we say more)
Etc., etc., etc.

The "Ask"
THE INSTRUCTIONS:
Many of you have contributed to our creative birthday efforts in the past. In fact, we recently uncovered the 'book of memories' that we put together for the fiftieth birthdays! Well, this time around we decided to catapult our parents into the 21st century - and go viral!
So, how could we NOT do something to celebrate this milestone? ... this is a surprise (shhhhh)
To celebrate their birthdays, we are launching [BobandCarols60th.blogspot.com] - a multimedia extravaganza of memories, photos, stories, tall tales and good wishes on their birthday.
So why are we contacting you?
1. We need your contributions - a funny story, reminiscences of a shared adventure, wishes on their birthday, etc. We'll post everything to the site and share the completed work of 'art' when we are done.
2. We need your help getting in touch with all of the people that would want to contribute - high school friends, college friends, grad school friends, Hendersonville friends, camp friends, etc. We have a LOT of your email addresses, but need your help. Please send us contact information (email is preferred) for old friends, new friends, family etc. that you think we should get in touch with.
3. Remember, this is a surprise. We'll 'launch' the site on October 26th when we head down to Asheville to celebrate.
Thank you so much for helping us try out a new medium and celebrate our parents' 60th birthday!
