Corless Connection - 5 September 2010 - Sterling Heights, Michigan


Dear Family,
Empty Nesters Again - At 7:30 am. Sunday morning, Michael with Ryan Drake packed up the Explorer and started the 1700 mile journey to Utah leaving the home once again void of children.  It has been a great summer with Michael, Lara, Abby, Sarah, Ryan & Rachel, Mia, Lydia, Pedro & Paula visiting us in Michigan.
Paleobuddies - Papa took 5 grandbuddies (Samantha, Joshua, Olivia, Preston and Jacob) to Cranbrook Science Museum to see the special showing of dinosaur skeletons and the regular permanent displays. The “paleobuddies” all had great time and returned with glowing reports of what they saw and the fun they had together, while Nona visited the homes of 15 sisters in the ward.  http://gallery.me.com/rcorless#100580
Temple - In addition to the Tuesday night Temple service, Mom taught the Relief Society sisters about the Ancient Israelite Tabernacle and how “ The House of the Lord” relates to us today. She used the scale model of the Tabernacle and the visual aids from prior presentarions to bring temples closer to the Sisters with the emphasis on not only being grateful for a temple close by but actually using it regularly.
Michigan Bound - Grandma’s Condo has a new driveway in the front of the garage that really looks nice. Friday evening her red Jeep Wrangler arrived safe and sound on a carhauler to Michigan. Mom & Dad picked it up in the parking lot behind Walmart and Dad drove it home.
Eagle - Tyler’s eagle project was completed this week. The houses were assembled and painted on Wednesday evening with the help of the Scouts and Young Women. Tyler and Jim installed them in place on Friday afternoon to finish the project. Go Tyler! http://gallery.me.com/rcorless#100564

Love y’all,
Mom & Dad
