Sara is a Sophomore at UMD, Ryan is a Freshman at Michigan Tech, Justin is in 8th grade at Cook High School and Kelly is going to graduate from St. Cloud State in the Spring.

You hear many jokes about Holiday Letters but I absolutely love them.  I love reading a summary of the events in the lives of my friends and family.  I can count on one from my dear friend Sue Aune with a personal note on it every year and I look forward to it even though we see each other in person.  This year she included a picture of their grandchildren Peyton, Jacob (Matt's) and Rian (Spin's).

My friend Myrna Wells married Bob Uland on July 31st.  It was a beautiful wedding and a wonderful reception at the Kitchi Gammi Club.  A beautiful blue moon was rising above Lake Superior that evening.  It was the most perfect weather day we had all summer.
