Packing


No more blog posts, I can see. We'll either set up another blog or do emails.

Meanwhile, check out Roger's announcement of the coin jar winner.

Love you all.

Win $100 !




For anyone who may have missed the message, Grandpa Mac is offering $100 towards a Mission Savings account to whoever comes closest to guessing the total coins in this jar.

Anyone who has lived in this house has probably helped themselves to coins from time to time. I know I did in a pinch, and Alan claims he's gotten the price of a ski pass out of it. In any case, the guesses so far are Daniel, $100, and Christina, $324.

(Coincidentally, Grandpa Ralph Stanley had a similar jar in their San Carlos kitchen where he deposited his change.)

Dasvedania




We've been making farewell visits. Kathy and Ken Freeman, VNHS friends, hosted us for a night on their 150 acre forest between Reno and Tahoe. Their driveway through the tall pines is 1/2 mile long. They served taco salad with little name plates: St. Petersburg Tomatoes, Ural Bear Meat, Iceburg Lettuce, etc. Ken told her it was dorky but we loved it.
Last night Roger's basketball buddies held a roast in his honor at a cookout in Logan Canyon. The humor ran along these lines: "He's not himself lately. Have you noticed the improvement?" and "He's so narrow minded he only has one eyebrow."
