Hey Everyone

I finally found time to get on. Thanks again to Kelly for doing this. Great pics from the family. Things going good here, Jacob and Alex are both corn detasseling this summer. Got a late start with the weather and all. Alex will start school next Tuesday so he won't finish out the summer. Jacob will be able to finish since he doesn't have to be at Millikin until later August. Had good time at family reunion. Went to Sandusky, Ohio, Cedar Point Amusement Park, for small vacation in early July. Kids road every roller coaster available to them more than once. Love it all. Greg and I rode a couple and then kept our feet firmly on the solid ground. Had a great time. Hope everyone is doing well. Love to all. Deb

Just wanted to thank Kelly for doing this. When I learn how to post pics I will put some up. Boys have started break and it is time. No big plans, just visiting colleges with Jacob.
