Well, my dear brothers and sisters, it has now been some three plus months since we were together for Mom's funeral, and I have been feeling a strong urge to try to start something that will help to keep the ties strong that bound us together when Mom & Dad were with us.

hello all, I am finally getting around to checking and doing a few things on the computer. Great to see others are not as slow as me. Darl and I are about the same. No major complaints. We see a few of you more often than others, but usually hear if anything else is going on. Susan and Justin, along with baby Cooper are still with us and doing well. Susan can actually fasten a few of her pants now. That makes her happy. If anyone likes to read interesting stories. Hearts Afire by Blaine Yorgenson is really good. Its historical fiction. There are actually three books. Would highly reccommend. Probably have to get through the library on an interlibary loan. Hope all find something to enjoy and be thankful for in their lives.
