I know, I havn't updated in a while. We have been very busy with birthdays, graduations, and house work. I am once again the main music man at Westwood. Since Louie hit the road, the chapel has closed, projects going on around the house, it lucky if I find time to retire.
I have watched the gasoline prices rise over $1.00 per gallon over the last few weeks. The news people are trying to excite us by telling us that gas prices are down $1.00 vs. last year.

Donald and Akiko have been busy raising money for their move to Japan. They will be moving in the end of July.

Liz's health is still not good. She will be going back for more shots in her back which is really limiting what she can do.

My health is ok.

The dogs are doing better since they can spend more time outside. This also makes the cats happy.

I just don't have time to sit and blog anymore.

The first half of this month is very busy. Young Don, graduated from Hope College this past weekend. This involved alot of running back and forth from Holland. This week was also the beginning of Tulip Time, so traffic was terrible.
This week is Cody's 18th birthday, Mothers Day, Catherines birthday, and the openning of the Star Trek the movie.
