Dear Family,
Bad news - Good News - The week started with Jim’s Birthday. Unfortunately, Jim got food poisoning and was sick the whole week. On a more positive note Lara, Abby and Sarah arrived on Monday from Denver and the party began with Ryan & Maureen and their tribe. Pizza, canoe rides, campfire and the water fountain provided the food and entertainment.
Pool Party - Papa actually went swimming with the grandbuddies in the Partridge Creek pool. There was food, fun and sunburns.
Wild Life - Abby & Sarah went on a wildlife observation expedition with Papa in the canoe. They saw seven turtles and two baby ducks.
Anniversary - Saturday marked Mom & Dad’s 39th wedding anniversary. The celebration included a Tuscan Grill dinner at “Brio” with Jim, Vanessa, Ryan, Maureen, Lara & Michael. Dinner was followed by two games of Bocci (right there at Partridge Creek), boys vs. girls - the girls won both games. There was a band playing and we listended and some (Ryan/Maureen, Michael/Vanessa) danced to the music as the sun set. It was a wonderful evening!
Matter Organised Projects - Holli and Dad worked on the chest of drawers, which is getting close to the staining/finishing phase. Dad helped Ryan install the cabinets and the baseboards in the basement on Wednesday evening and Saturday afternoon. Soon it will be time for carpeting.
Church - Our Stake had a Special Stake Conference for no special occasion, (except that there was a training session for bishops in Ann Arbor with Elder Bednar on Saturday, and a member of the quorum of 70’s attended our Sunday meeting) but it was nice - except for the cooling in the building which was not functioning and made it very uncomfortable for everyone.
Happy Father’s Day - Papa was honored after church with a dinner by the family. The Grandbuddies got another canoe ride to visit the turtles and baby ducks in the pond.
Love ya, Mom & Dad
