Back to Work

August 1st means back to the office for Mike. He will be continuing to get ready for the new school year at Crossroads

College.

We also want to say how proud we are of our son-in-laws. Luke finished his Master of Divinity program at Emmanuel and the fam will be moving to Baltimore soon to begin a new service for the

Lord with Mountain Christian Church. Ryan will graduate from

Notre Dame with his Masters in Accounting on August 8. They live in Columbus, Ohio. Congrats, guys!

Moving Miracles

In the past 10 days we have cleaned out, cleaned up, SOLD Grandma Millie's house, and moved her to MN. It actually sold before it even had the for sale sign up! She is now living in Arbor Terrace, an independent living center for seniors in Rochester.

Here are the new digs. It's a two bedroom apartment with lots of

amenities like 3 meals, nursing care when needed, housekeeping,

etc. Come and visit! It really was a miracle to get all that done, and

also selling Grandpa Dave's house in 5 days!

Summer Time

It's been a while... It's summer and Mike and I both have an academic schedule now, which means, SUMMERS OFF!!! We have been VERY busy taking care of parents and their houses. We have been cleaning out Dad's and will work on Gma Millie's this next week. We are planning to move Gma up here in the same facility as Gpa.

Summer trip to Sweden... Mike and Jimmy took a great trip to Sweden and Norway. They visited both Stockholm and Oslo and had a wonderful

time! Everything was VERY expensive. Even a Burger King chicken sandwich cost $10. There was lots of water. They saw lots of harbors, took a train trip across country, and experienced Scandinavian culture and cuisine (cold fish for breakfast??? not!). But they are both glad to be

home.

We spent some time in Illinois, too. Jael and Delaney love their Great-Grandma Benson. Briana and Delaney, and Holly and Jael

came to visit with everyone. The girls met both great-grandmas and great-aunts and uncles and cousin Tess. Then I got to go to Briana's house and spend another whole week with the girls! I've been in grandma heaven this summer! It's a good gig!
