WHERE?

Where did the summer go?

After this summer we can appreciate the sacrifices early pioneers had to make.  Except, it only took us 24 hours to drive their 3 month journey (in an air conditioned car, with padded seats, pit stops, and various food choices)  Also, No boat ride or pulling a handcart or lost children or freezing or starving to death. 

Some summer Highlights:

David said quit cussing him. Listen to the promptings and leave him out of it. He doesn't want to talk to you anymore. = You can still talk to me Mike! A. Debi
