About to Leave

   We got a hand delivered invite to Gabe's open house by Patti who told Lukas Gabe had forgotten to give it to us at the family reunion. Lukas went with us on Saturday the 21st and we stayed for about 3 hours avoiding contact with Patti but making sure we talked with all her friends. Gabe told us how he asked to have us come but Patti would not until to save face she did. We were able to visit with Charlie Becker, Gloria, and Lisa as the weather was good. Jane and I went to some music concerts around town and the dance program at LCC. I had lunch with Ed, Howard and Joe H. at Hibachi Grille last Friday for a meeting of the minds. We have been going to the Y and we will be in Grand Haven for 10 days starting tomorrow. We finally got some rain but still need more as the temperatures have been in the 80's consistently.  July was the 11th warmest in the USA at 75.5 degrees average and May-July the warmest ever according to scientists at NOAA.
