Nothing has happened since our last entry except that we flew half way across the U.S. Chris interrupted his poker night to ferry us from the airport, and now we are home.

Dave and Judy Meisel, neighbors at the Lake, called to tell me that the ramp to the swim dock had collapsed. Den was in route to Chicago, and I was about to get on a plane. Dave arranged with a dock company to get the repair underway--for which I am extremely grateful.

When my adopted son, Doug, heard about the problem, he said, "Well, I guess I'll just have to go down there next weekend." For those of you who don't know Doug, he can fix anything and he is a worker.
