Well, as you can see I haven't been on here much. I took the weekend off and left town and went to a family reunion. Jimmie's sister Audrey and husband celebrated 50 years of being married. It was a wonderful weekend.

Now we are getting down to the crunch. Art has the barn just about done. Adam (grandson) will be up this weekend to put new doors in. Randy (sil) will be here tomorrow with a friend to plumb the garage and finish wiring etc. Steph will be here later tomorrow and will work on the flower beds etc. Also she will be going through the list on decorations and food. It is all coming together and hopefully by the end of this weekend we will be majorily done. It would be nice next weekend if we had just the misc. stuff to figure out and do.

I've been so busy here that I only go uptown usually on Monday morning and Friday morning to work. So, I'm not really sure what is going on.

Tonight the Community meal will be at the Community center from 5 - 7 . They will be serving sloppy joes. This is always a good meal, hope you can come and help support the Free Water for Life that they do this for.

This is the last week for the Showboat performances in Grand Rapids. I've heard this is a great thing to go to. I've never made time in my life to do it.
