Still Living in Ohio

Well we are still living in Ohio. My step dad passed away in June of 2010 but my mom is still alive at 98 and a half. We have been enjoying ourselves in Ohio by getting involved with a good church and spending time with friends.  We now have 12 grandchildren the oldest of which is a freshman in colleget and the youngest of which is just a little over 1. We spend much of our time visiting friend and family around the country. We did make a trip down to El Rancho del Rey in February for 2 weeks. We hated to come back home.

Catching up

Sorry I have not kept this up. 2008 was a very busy year. We moved to Ohio. Attended 3 weddings, had 4 of my kids families come into visit their Grandma and Grandpa, and we visited 4 of my kids in 4 different states. We have also been helping my folks who are in assisted living.

In 2009 so far we have traveled to Mexico for 2 weeks. We were down there visiting and helping with a Christian boys home.

We are about to head to Israel for 10 days.
