Okay, folks, I'm going to try this & see if it actually post on the "author" page...so far I can only figure out how to do the comments feature...this is so cool, though, so good to hear updates from Sarah & Jess...complete with adorable picture of grandkids and granddogs! all is well here, I'm waiting for the "floor guys" to appear and start the installation of wood on the stair landings & upstairs hall, getting rid of the grungy 22 yr. old carpet. Then off to Battle Creek to check on Matt's house, which we try to do every other week or so...it should be a nice drive today, still lots of color. then later today dad & I have to go to a meet & greet for the U.Way kickoff at the Uof M which is to honor the "larger" givers (including us) and is being held in the new UM stadium box area...which will be the first and only time we get that close to it, I suspect. Looking forward to seeing the boys flag football game(s) on Sat. & having them over...hope to connect with the girls then too....sending lots of love to all our busy families...
