tire fun

The girls had some fun with the tire last night.
it blew out and so they started to change it and
some guys came and helped them. Ben was on his
way too it was about 10 minutes from home. Glad
they were able to pull off the road into a parking lot
and nobody was hurt as they could have been with
a tire blowing out.
At least it happened at the end of their night as
they were on the way home from a wedding reception.

Seems like when you go to funerals

you catch up with family you have

not seen in a bit that is fun but too

bad it seems to take a funeral to do

that.

I will be posting other pictures in the next

few days to highlight some of what we did.

family

This is the some of the last family photos
we really have of Bens dad that were good
and everyone having a nice time.

Bens dad Fred Graul passed away on Saturday.
He had been sick and not doing so good. He had hospice
care come and take care of him but was not eating and
all that. Ben and i are flying out to be with the family
on Tuesday the girls will come out on Thursday.

How he will be missed although we did not see him a lot
we all loved him and his sense of humor. He was a great
guy.

a nice something for a great leader

I really do not have to say much about this as
the poem and and pictures say it all for me.

Ben wrote the poem
