What You See Is What You Get!

Well it has been a while since I last wrote. Cheryl and I have been very busy getting our home ready to sell. After 19 years we are downsizing to a smaller house. It took us several years and much thought and prayer to make the decision. But, we are on our way we still have much to do but we are on our way. My life seems to just hum along and that is a good thing. I have enough of big ups and downs and now I hope for small hills. Our kids are moving along also Sarah just had some surgery and that is a good thing because the result is that she won't have as much pain as she had before.(for those who forgot Sarah is my daughter-in-law) Todd is working hard toward planting the new church in CA. It is much more work than I thought it would be. Brad is also doing well on his career and in his life. His life in DesMoines is expanding and his circle of friends continues to grow. He turned 30 in May and that is always a milestone. I know it was a big deal for him and us. We got to spend the weekend before his birthday with him and this really a very unusual occurance. He is always very busy around the first os May so we have rarley been with him around his birthday.
We went out with the other 3 couples that went on the cruise with last year. They are great friends for us and we love them dearly. In the last year Jane has been through extensive cancer cure. She is fine now. She and her husband Bill held a wedding for their daughter in the past year so they have been very busy. We found out last night that one of the group, Betty, is haveing surgry for cataracts. Wow that made us all feel old.
the other couple dennis and Chrlene had their son Bart and his wife move to Tx. They really did not think that any of their kids would move out of town but it happens to all of us.
Well that is all for now
