Corless Clan Connection - Sterling Heights, Michigan 4 September 2011


Dear Family,
Zoojourners - Monday, Papa took the zoobuddies - Samantha, Joshua, Preston, Jacob, Olivia and Sophia to the zoo. They were entertained in the Wild Adventure Ride with Dino Island II. They enjoyed being together, seeing the exhibits. learning about the animals, playing in the playground and staying until the park closed, while Nona caught up with the laundry at home.
Nature Biker Buddies - Thursday morning, Papa & Nona with Vanessa loaded up bikes and grandbuddies and biked along the Clinton River Nature Trail to the Sterling Heights Nature Center and back. It was fun, edifying exercise for all. 

Back-packers to School - Michael packed up and drove back to school with Ryan Drake on Wednesday and they safely arrived on Thursday. The Idaho (1) and Texas (3) grandbuddy schoolers have already started backpacking to school and the Michigan bunch (10) start on Tuesday. Papa and Nona pray that these precious grandchildren will: absorb all truth; reject the untruth; be given the power to discern the difference, to be prepared for the future opportunities that will come their way. May they be so blessed.
Came to Pass - For many years Dad and sons home-taught a less active Bill Leutze, who later became active and married Gail Arndt; they had two children. We were saddened to hear that Brother Leutze lost his lengthy battle against cancer last week. Mom & Dad and Stebar’s attended the viewing on Friday and Saturday morning funeral. It was a somber occasion, but the spirit of hope for the future, that the gospel “good news” brings, prevailed, blessing and edifying all.
Alert - Hreinson’s are coming on Wednesday the 7th at 3:10 pm. Be prepared to have some fun!
Love y’all, Mom & Dad
