July Tidings and Greetings!

Greetings, friends and family members.  I trust that all
is well with you and yours.

It's America's Birthday today, with mine shortly to
follow, so it's a time of celebration.

All here are fine.  Chartel is on her way over for a
visit, about a once-a-month thing.  Better than none.
C.J. plans to be here sometime in the next couple
of weeks, so that's cool.  My plans are to head to
Wisconsin mid-August, visiting the grandsons and
family just before Bill is deployed.

Cindy has been honored with another recognition
for her many hours of volunteer work.  The local
newspaper, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, along with
the American Red Cross, the RSVP program, the
Heinz Endowment Foundation, and Highmark are
feting her a others from the region in a special
newspaper picture and article, another dinner, and
the possibility of going to Washington, D.C. next
year for another event.  WOW!

C.J. is settled into his new apartment near downtown
Harrisburg.  He love his job, and his new "digs", as
they're one short block from the Susquehenna River.
He and his lady friend, Emily, seem to spend a lot of
time together when they are working - he's daylight,
she mostly afternoons and evenings.  Oh well.

My health is better, though I'm being pressed to get
a colonoscopy, which I'll probably have to agree to
soon.  All other tests have been good, so onward
and forward, I guess.  Hasn't kept me from work or
church lately, so that's good.  New script costs
$82 a month!  Wow.  Never spend that much before.
Oh well, we only die once.  Huh?

Writing my blogs when I get a chance.  Did a sports
column and a patriotic column today.  Will do a
humor and an inspirational blog tomorrow, hopefully.

Love to all.  Have a great summer.  Hope to hear from
you or see you soon.  Cindy, Bill, Chartel, C.J.
