The Hoods and SU






















This time it was the Syracuse Orange entering the Sweet-16 NCAA tournament that gave us another excuse to have party! This one had a few extra people attending. Besides Dianne, Jake and Mike, Tim’s friend, Mark Hood paid us a visit from Florida last week. Accompanying him were his son Josh, daughter-in- law Nikki, and his beautiful granddaughter Maddie. Mark arrived in town on Thursday and treated us all to a dinner at the world famous Euclid restaurant, (Denim jeans and Timberland boots are welcomed!). Joking aside, the food is really good. Little Maddie sat in her car seat for over an hour and did not fuss at all. We had such a nice time moving from subject to subject which eventually ended in laughter. The next night, as Syracuse was playing in the Sweet 16, it gave us another opportunity to get together for pizza and wings. We were all decked out in our Syracuse Orange colors. Even though Syracuse did not advance to the Elite 8 :(, we had a lot of fun. Again Maddie was just perfect, I have yet to hear her cry. Unfortunately, Mark had to leave the next day, his visit this time was too short. Hopefully his next visit will be longer, and hopefully Syracuse will advance farther in the tournament next year so we can have more parties!
