Dear Family,
Empty Spots - Nona & Papa are already missing Mia & Lydia, who left with their parents Ryan & Rachel for Denver, on Wednesday afternoon. With all the visits, get togethers, parties and meals together, we made some good memories - so it was a great visit enjoyed by all.
The Storm - Thursday evening, a violent tornado-spawning storm hit the area. Papa & Nona’s house only had a litte thunder and rain. But, Jim & Vanessa’s had a neighbors trampoline blow over 300 feet into their house to damage a rain gutter. Stebar’s had a 18 inch diameter oak limb break off and land on their roof. Thankfully no one was hurt and the damage is minor and easily repaired.
For the Birds - Papa helped Tyler with his Eagle Scout Project. First, there was the morning fueling of Tyler with 4 8” Waffles; second, a few of hours in Papa’s shop cutting out the wood parts for three Purple Martin, (mosquito eaters) bird houses. It was a success - 1) Tyler got his stomach (temporarily) filled, 2) the bird house parts actually will go together for easy assembly and 3) all the fingers are intact as well as no physical damage to any body parts. Go Tyler!
Sports Central - Monday night, Vanessa & Rachel played a game of soccer at Total Soccer. (The team was planning for next season and wanted Rachel, “the web”, to stay and play.)Papa survivied an hour of Racquetball on Friday morning and a 10 mile bike ride with Vanessa early Saturday morning. Also: coach Jim with Preston, Jacob and Joshua won two roller hockey games on Saturday morning. Go team !

Grandma’s Michigan Abode - The purchase agreement for the condo is scheduled to be signed on Tuesday, which will kick off the minor repairs and the title work to be done, and the closing scheduled. All making ready for Grandma’s move to Michigan late in September. Go Grandma!
Journey to Brazil - Nona has scheduled her flight to visit our Brazilian family - leaving the 7th of October and returning on the 18th of November. It will be springtime so the weather should be very nice and certainly warmer than last years mid-winter visit. Go Nona!
Love y’all,
Mom & Dad
