Dear Family,
Matter Organized - Dad finally found a reasonably priced place to store the camper trailer and arrange to store it out of the way. Dad has been helping Michael get the various parts and tires for his Escape in preparation for his annual (1700 mile 2736 Km) journey back to school in Utah. Michael finished and submitted his application to attend BYU starting in January 2012. Also, the 16 year old air conditioner stopped functioning (gratefully the weather was cooler) and Dad arranged to get it repaired. Luckily, it was a $250 for a new fan motor and not a $2900 A/C unit replacement.
American History Day - Wednesday was a very pleasant weather day so Papa & Nona took Samantha, Joshua, Preston, Olivia, Jacob and Sophia to Greenfield Village. They rode in a Model-T, and a vintage 90+ year old carousel, watched a theatre performance, saw Edison’s machine shop and laboratory, vintage homes, old school house, and, of course, turtles and fish in the pond. Josh actually played old style baseball for a while. They had a picnic and Nona bought some yummy Hobo bread for dessert.

Naturalists - Papa and Joshua biked to the Sterling Heights Nature and down the Clinton River trail and back. The next day Papa and Nona took Samantha, Joshua and Olivia to the nature center and saw a movie and the animal exhibits of turtles, fish, snakes, salamanders, coyote, fox, various birds, etc. They walked down the Clinton River Trail a short way and back.
Kickballers - Friday evening, Dad watched and photographed Jim & Michael winning their game kickball. They won 10-1 and play for the league championship next Friday. Go Team!

Sunday Dinner Party - Sunday Dinner Party - The home was full of sabbath day celebrators with 7 invited from the YSA Ward and a family of five invited by Mom and the Home Teachers came at 7:00 pm. It is wonderful to have a full house, even if it isn’t all family.
Love y’all,Mom & Dad
