Another year has past
and I will be turning 83 by years end. This has been a good year. I
continue to live in an apartment at the old Blair Central School that
my sons David and Stephen attended. I belong to the YMCA and exercise
on their treadmill. My health has been good except I have a little
difficulty walking a long distance.
Last January, February and March, I again spent at South Padre
Island, Texas. SpaceX is building a space port near by and several
times I have gone over and watched the construction. They build the
spaceships out in the open and not in a building, so one can watch
the progress. I spent a few days at Branson, Missouri on my return
home from Texas. In July, I took a flight to Chicago for my grandson
Zackary's 18th birthday. This will be the seventh winter
that I have spent at South Padre Island since Lila past away.
Stephen, Kelly and
family live in Chicago. Zachary is going to college, majoring in
computer science and will be a college sophomore next month after he
took some tests. Anna is a freshmen in high school.
David, Cindy and
family continue to live near Blair on an acreage where Dianne and I
lived. Martha, Kathryn and Paul continue to grow and are getting
tall. They are busy with school, church and 4H. Martha is in the 8th
grade. Kathryn is in the 7th grade and a good softball
player. Paul is in the 4rd grade. I attend the musicals,
band concerts and other school events. As a proud Grandpa, I think
all my Grandchildren are smart, my Granddaughters are beautiful and
my Grandsons handsome.
Lila's son Corey and
Sarah live at Superior, Nebraska. Lila's daughter Suzanne and
Granddaughter Kirsten live at Lincoln, Nebraska.
Blessings,
