Corless Connection - Sterling Heights, Michigan - 15 August 2010


Dear Family,
Inspiration & Perspiration - Inspired by kids and grandkids around us and working in the Temple.  Perspired by the very warm and very humid weather week.  We are all very grateful for family and air conditioning.
Cranbrooked - Papa & Nona hosted a lunch trip to the Cranbrook Institute of Science to take some photos and muse the special dinosaur skeleton collection and educational displays. Photos: http://gallery.me.com/rcorless/100497
Mentor’s Memorial Morning - Mom & Dad attended the Memorial Service for Earl Mabery. It was a great tribute to an experienced engineer that Dad worked with and learned from at Ford for many years; as an excellent racquetball player, he taught Dad much in the court, too.  Dad will missed their weekly breakfast sprinkled with political and religion discussions.  Also, the service and following lucheon, was a wonderful opportunity to visit with several ex-coworkers that Dad has known for a few decades.
Dinner Disco Date - Mom & Dad had a tasty Mexican dinner at Abuelo’s and bowled in a Disco/Bowling alley with Jim, Vanesssa, Ryan, Maureen, Ryan, Rachel and Michael & Melanie. It was a challenge to bowl with flashing colored lights and music videos in the eyes and pulsating beat of the music in the ears. Jim had the guy’s high score and Mom was the lady’s high scorer.
Sports ‘R’ Us - Hockey and kick ball topped the family sport’s week.  Preston, Joshua and Jacob coached by Jim did better this week in their two team “under 8” roller hockey league.

Old Scouter - Ryan invited Dad to bring his scout memorabilia and tell a few stories about his scouting experience to North Shores troop of scouts as part of the 100th anniversary of Scouting in the USA.
Love y’all,
Action shot of the week - Michael dives for one!
