Dear Family,
GM Wins One - Ryan is resigned his position at Ford and starting September 1st., will be working for GM at the Tech Center in Warren. It is a significant improvement in compensation and he will save and an hour+ each day commuting time. Go Ryan! Good for you, bad for Ford.
“Better than it was” - Dad and Ryan changed the rotors and brake pads on the the Mazda MPV, which, successfully, eliminated an annoying brake shudder problem. Dad removed and replaced a faulty valve in the shower, which eliminated the annoying drip, drip, drip. . . .
Missionary Moment - After Mom & Dad’s bike ride on the Clinton River trail and his way back home, Dad rode his bike to pick up a part to fix the shower leak and to meet the new insurance agent. He knew Whitaker’s, who years ago, had given him a Book of Mormon, which he brought in and showed Dad. After reviewing the insurance coverages, Dad showed him the record in 3rd Nephi of Christ’s visit to the Nephites and committed him to read it.
Clan Campout - Dad took the Explorer and pop up Camper trailer to Ryan’s on Thursday evening so the Corless/Kulka Clan could go camping at Metamora-Hadley Rec Area for the weekend. Mom & Dad joined the fun on Saturday by bringing fresh pizza for lunch. They used the brand new hitch mounted bike rack to bring their bikes to get back and forth from the campsite to the beach. It was a beautiful sunny day with a nice cooling breeze. Games, bug catching, sand castle construction, hiking, biking and paddle boating activities filled the day between the daily meals. All combinations: grandparents, parents, cousins, siblings, husbands & wives all had such a good time with each other and together. Photos: http://gallery.me.com/rcorless#101136
Kickball Champs - Friday evening, Jim (came back from the camp out) and Michael executed the right strategy and won the Championship Kickball game finishing with an undefeated season record. Dad took some photos and accumulated them on the gallery.me.com/rcorless website - http://gallery.me.com/rcorless#101125
Freshman Football - Tyler played quarterback and linebacker in his first football game on Wednesday. It was 90 degree weather so Dad found the only shady spot in the whole stadium from which to take photos. He was joined by the rest of the (partially broiled) family after the first half. After a few rough edges on their plays they started to connect for touchdown passes and won 29-0. http://gallery.me.com/rcorless#101109
Love y’all, Mom & Dad
