We are honestly meeting ourselves coming and going! We returned last night from a 3 week trip to visit the elders in MN, SD and WY. Along the way, we spent a couple of days in Branson, MO, as we had never been there. Took in some great shows, ate too much and sweated a lot! The heat just seems to follow us around. We found everyone up north in pretty good shape and that is always good. Forgot to take pictures......normal for me.
While in MN, my high school friends.....Crazy 8's.... got together for our 4th annual. We have such a good time. Saw a great show at the Old Log Theater and sat up talking for most of the night. We seem to pick up right where we left off the year before.
The other news in the family is that Katie and family are going to live in the Phillipines for the next couple of years. She has accepted a postition there and so the rush is on to get everything ready to go. Looks like they have a great International School there for the kiddos. We will leave for CA on Thursday.......yes, home less than a week.......to watch the kids while Mike and Kate go to Manila for the pre-assignment trip. They will find housing, register at school and general "get ready to live there" stuff. It will be hard to have them so far away, but what a great opportunity for them!
So, there has been no progress on the homefront. When we get back here about Sept. 1, we will get busy on the studio and some other projects.
Next time I will have some pictures. I will remember to take pictures of the grandkids!!!

Don't you just love retirement life?!!! What an interesting assignment for Katie. They will certainly gather stories for a lifetime. Missing the grandkids will be the hardest, but there is always the opportunity to visit!
