At long last, Gyna's parents made it to Pittsburgh, with our niece Valerie in tow. I'm told it is a long haul from Susanville CA. As if I didn't know that. They flew in on August 12th. We made some minor repairs on the house including a new basement door with a screen, updated some wiring, and installed a new stair banister. Since I am pretty clutzy on stairs, this is a good thing. We visited Phipps, the Cathedral of Learning, the Strip District, Ohiopyle, and the Incline. It was so hot, the hottest it has been all summer, that we were content to work inside our air-conditioned house rather than play outside. We did go biking, swimming, and made a slip and slide in the backyard. We still had fun.
During the week they were here, Brandon successfully finished his last classes at Tepper. He says he isn't a graduate until he gets that diploma, but that could take months. To me, he is now the proud recipient of an MBA from CMU. It has been a long haul, but we both think it was the best course for Brandon to have taken. He loved being a student. Yeah!!
