Corless Connection - 30 August 2010 - Sterling Heights, Michigan


Dear Family,
Grandma’s Michigan Residence - The purchase agreement has been signed and the escrow payment and estate documents have been delivered for her condo. Everything is on schedule for her to set up residence in Michigan in late September.
Deck & Closet - Dad helped Ryan put a coat of sealer/stain on the thristy boards of their deck and install shelves in the new boy’s room closet. Looking good!
Beautification - Mom & Dad replaced a dying bush with a flowering Althea Hibiscus with great hopes it will grow and beautify this small corner of the earth. The yard really looks nice with all the flowers blooming.  The weather was so nice Mom & Dad took the time just to sit out on the deck one evening, to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and the sight of the moon rising in the clear sky.  It even inspired Mom to bring out the guitar and play some old songs under the moonlight.
Visitors - Thursday Morning the backyard was visited by four whitetail deer, which Dad photographed. Thursday evening Mom hosted the ladies of the Relief Society Board to a dinner and message; everything looked beautiful and they all had a good time together.  Saturday morning Mom & Dad went ot the airport and brought back Pedro Armando & Paula Gatti for a short, but fun visit.
Brazilian Connection - It is always a great joy to have a visit from our Brazilian family. Just to be with them is good for the heart and soul. In the afternoon, we went shopping to Costco, had dinner for 10 people at Brio, toured the homes of Jim & Vanessa and Ryan & Maureen to see the updates since their last visit and to play a game. Rex & Myriam and Pedro & Paula went on a cruise on the Detroit River.  Sunday family dinner and games for 17, included the Kulka Klan and Ryan & Maureen Corless Clan. Papa made a campfire for Jacob, Olivia and Sophia.  The time was short but we did pack in all the fun and love we possibly could.  Thanks Pedro and Paula for the wonderful visit!
Love y’all,
Mom & Dad
