Can you believe it; summer is practically over. I remember so many times hearing "old" people saying how fast time goes by as they get older... now I know what the mean.

We had a great time in Colorado this summer - but it was a long drive. On the way out we had a blow-out (The first time I blew out a tire at 70 mph.) and on the way home we sat in Ogalala, NB for 28 hours while they changes the fuel pump in the car. Once it was repaired we drove straight home - 1500 miles in 25 hours.

Karalee, Willy & Karissa have started school again. Both Willy and Karalee are doing several subjects over the satalite dish with Bob Jones University. That makes it a bit easier for Pat to focus on Karissa.

The garage in Trenton that has been occupying so much of my time this summer is almost up. They hope to set the last peice this Wednesday. There will be a lot of finish work after that, but it will be a big step.

The next big event that we are preparing for is Karalee & Willy's trip to Hawaii next summer. They will be going with the Bel Canto childrens choir to preform in a festival there. They are doing some fund raisers and saving their pennies for the trip.

Have a great fall

Love, Phil
