Dear Family,
Safe Journey - Wednesday night Michael and his friend Timon arrived safely after driving the Explorer for ~1700 miles from Utah to Michigan. Mom & Dad were very pleased to meet Timon, who was one of Michael missionary companions and a fine southern gentleman from Georgia.
Neo Audio/Video - Mom & Dad have a new Vizio 55” Flat screen TV with a Sony Blu-ray home theater system and a programmable remote control to operate the whole system. Thanks to Ryan and Michael for installing the system and programming the controller. Dad had to completely dismantle the old media center to get it downstairs into the basement and then reassemble it. Thanks to Michael & Timon for getting the old and very heavy TV in the basement.
Neo Family Room - To compliment the new media, Mom, with the assistance of Michelle - an interior decorator, decided on and ordered the new couch, media center, ottoman, end table and sofa table for the family room - it will look real nice. The home will be even more pleasant and inviting for family and friends.
Healthly Stuff - Dad achieved his body mass i.e. weight goal and maintained it for six weeks and is now a card-carrying lifetime member of Weight Watchers. Dad says, “Watching your weight is easy, loosing it is difficult.” For exercise and fun, Dad, Michael and Timon played racquetball on Thursday morning. Dad won, of course, soundly beating those young inexperienced whipper-snappers.
Shuttlers - Monday morning Mom & Dad took a recently widowed member of the ward to airport. Saturday they had the joy of picking up Guilherme who is visiting from Brazil via Chicago where he is attending high school for a semester. With another Brazilian in town, it is Party Time!!! Grandma Sparks joined in and supported the partying by picking up the tab for dinner at Red Lobster for 11 of us. Thank you, Grandma Sparks!
Knee News - Pedro Armando is back home after his prolonged hospital stay. He will be on Microbiotics for another 3 months, physical therapy and have weekly tests, but for the most part he can resume his normal life. We are all grateful for the good news.

Love y’all,
Mom & Dad
