Staying Busy

   Lukas turned 31 and had lunch at Sushi Moto and then dinner at DeLuca's. Starting the end of July we'll have Gramma stay with us Wednesday through Friday afternoon. It has worked well so far and Jane took her to visit her friend Eva today. Both cars had their oil changed this month and I had the serpentine belt and exhaust pipe from the engine replaced on the Malibu that now has 100,222 miles. Brandon and Taylor got married in Cedarville on August 3rd and we spent the night there and stopped in St. Ignace, Mackinaw City, Gaylord and Hartwick Pines on the way home. They had a nice wedding and reception despite Betty's rudeness and rewriting history about settling the estate and Frank's kids being excluded by them. The U P is truly God's creation and so peacefully different. I did my last week at the Y as we went to Grand Haven from the 10th until the 22nd for vacation. Phil and Steffi were there from the 11th to 18th and Jon Sharon and the grand kids the 16th and 17th. We had WIFI this year so I only went to the Library once but went swimming 5 times and Jane bought a suit and got in the water 3 times. A busy summer is over as school begins Monday after a record hottest July global temperature in the 140 years of being recorded. Wildfires rage in Alaska, the Amazon, the Canary Island and the Arctic all with some correlation to global warming. Smoky hazy sunsets may be pretty but are not good for our lungs or other living creatures on the Dirty Boulevard.
