FAMILY & FRIENDS !!!

Greetings Everyone!!   The time is just flying here at Brainerd.  Every
day is full!!  We have so enjoyed hearing from everyone too!!

Spending time with my sister,  this is rare that we get to be together...
We always keep Ma Bell in business!!!   Spent a day going down to
see Mom.  She was so good & there were a lot of laughs on what she
remembers & what she doesn't. . .  She had been to Alaska many years
ago to see her sister, so she enjoyed the picture books.   We also spent
a day at Christmas Point (the place to shop in Brainerd) & had a great
dessert lunch!!!

Able to have lunch with brother Lyle lakeside on Gull Lake.  His
storm damage was awful, as well as sister Barb & also brother Andy.
We go to Andy & Deb for lunch tomorrow.  Really enjoy seeing all.
See Lyle's daughters, Kari & Shae too.

Today we had lunch with Judy Loeffler,  our friend from our
Franklin church who summers in MN & winters in NC.  We decided
to post a pic of the 2nd annual summer gathering of Good Shepherd
Church.  Great lunch, then a trip to the 371 Diner for malts,  real real
malts.  Mine was snickers & Judy had s'mores & Mike strawberry!!

I am definitely going to have to diet when we get home,  all the yum
yum foods.  Weather has been good too.  Warm days & cool nights.

Prayers that all are enjoying their summer.   Be safe & keep in touch!!
Blessings,   Mike & Dee:)
