Is it just me or does it seem like the weeks that are short take the longest to get through? This week was a killer! Don't think I could have made it through another day!
We're also trying to figure out WHERE the summer went.......it seems like just yesterday we were planting our veggies in the garden and picking out flowers at the greenhouse. And now, the Michigan Tourist Bureau is already running radio ads about
'Checking out the colors of Michigan's Fall'. I saw a tree whose leaves are already changing color today on the way to work....
We are NOT ready for Fall yet (Stamping my feet!!!).
Yes it's true College football began last weekend (hopefully this weekend's out come is better than last weekend or it's going to be one LONNNNNNNNNNNNG season).
LET'S GO BLUE!
We're still not ready for the weather to start changing.
I'm sure many of you have been like Glen and I, every time we turn the TV or Radio on, we're seeing/hearing clips of this City of Detroit/Mayor Mess. Well, I'm not sure about you, but I was relieved yesterday that the situation that has been dragging the city down for the last 8 months has finally come to a close. Now the city & state can get back to business and fix the whole mess of problems we're currently facing! Okay, getting down off that soap box....
A highlight to our week this week (other than getting to listen to the rain at 3:30 this morning...), we got a 2 page letter from Dara, the solider that we 'adopted' in March. This is the third soldier we've adopted over the last few years. She is an assistant chaplain for her battalion that is currently stationed in Iraq. We are always so grateful to receive mail from her to know that she is okay. We never expect to receive notes and letters (that's one thing the foundation we went through told us ' don't expect correspondence since they're there doing a job and stay quite busy', but it is nice to hear from her when we do. We continue to send care packages every few weeks to her which she shares with the troops in her battalion, the troops there are always so happy to receive 'stuff' from home.
Another exciting event - my cousin's son, Anthony, who just graduated from high school this past May, had a safe trip to Lackland Texas and has started his Air Force Basic Training. We are so proud of him and the choice he has made to defend our country if he is called upon.
We are so thankful for all the soldiers in our armed forces that have made a choice to defend this wonderful country we call home and the freedoms we have.
Well, Tiger Woods is calling - we are BOTH on a mission to beat him.
Have a Great weekend and GO BLUE!!!
Min & Glen
