So that is about it for this year. Many of our summer projects didn’t get completed, blame it on the heat (way too many days over 100 degrees) or on my recovering from the tonsillectomy and then bunion surgery, or just not enough time. This past week Russel has been on school break with the […]

School is starting here, Russel hasn’t lined up all his jobs yet, (teaching Aikido to kids in the local schools) but we know they are there for him. Hurricane Katrina is barreling through the south. This past month went by in a blur. I made it to Reggae, but only Friday for Michael Franti and […]
It’s been a long time since the last post – Sorry! We’ve been just so very busy. The trip to visit family in Michigan (lawns and lawnmowers was a constant theme) was a good one. Dad and Sue are good and everyone seems to be doing well. We had a family gathering picnic […]
