Andrea & Kelsey
we went to Andrea's new apartment in Grand Rapids and took a tour of
GVSU. Then out to dinner at Uccello's, Andrea's new place of employment.

156 more days
How many ways can our President screw up our country? Try two more before he goes. We have them trying to make changes to the definition of birth control. Wouldn't you like to have it considered abortion if you took a pill to prevent contraception? Is our country being run by the Taliban? Can you tell who's the extremist in this country?

And here's another bright idea out of Washington. I first read about this in the August 25th edition of Time Magazine. On Aug 11th, the White House proposed an overhaul of the rules for the Endangered Species Act. It would allow for the evaluation of whether an action harms an endangered species to be made NOT by trained biologists but by bureaucrats. The new rules could go into effect in as few as 90 days and won't need approval from Congress. Here's a link to a sight that gives further information and tells where to go to express your views:

It'll be fast - Bush needs to get it done before he leaves (156 days) to protect his big oil buddies as they prepare to drill in ANWAR. The NPO's haven't even started to raise hell yet so it's important to have our voices heard.
Love you - thanks for caring

July
Well, another month has flown by. Here I am again trying to get caught up. We had some pretty dramatic storms in June and July, and the amount of water really took it's toll on the "dry" creek bed. Apparently, not built for the deluge. We're waiting for repair........
We rented a house between Glenn and South Haven with our friends the Klubas. Their daughter Rachel, husband Luke and 4 month old son Dylan from London came, along with all of our kids, spouses, significant others and of course our Alexis! It was quite a houseful. At one point we had 14 adults, and two small children. Amazing that we had two sets of kids from California fly in; Gretchen and Jay drove and Andrea popped in for a day. We're very lucky that we could get everyone together - even if it was for a short time for some. We had wonderful weather, food and of course - booze. I think sleep was the only thing in short supply.
