We had a great time with Rick, Fay, and Connor on their recent visit to Idaho. The weather was great and we really enjoyed each other's company. The only thing that marred the visit was Bob the peacock....seen at the end of the video!

The Oklahomans come to Boise

A good time was had by all when Carol, Jean, Lisa, and Erin visited Boise a few weeks ago. Marge really enjoyed their company and they provided expert assistance in helping Marge go through some things from her recent move. Thanks for the memories girls!

Marge's New Diggs!

Greetings from Marge's new apartment at Heatherwood Retirement Home. It has been quite a change for her, but she is settling in. It's a rough life with great food, lots of activities, new friends, and maid service! Drop her a line. She'd love to hear from you. Heatherwood Retirement Community, 5277 Kootenai St. Apart 5, Boise, ID 83705

Vanderbush Update

What a busy year!  Ronda celebrated her 70th birthday in April and we enjoyed a nice lunch with her at Mimi's Cafe.

Henry is nearing his 80th birthday in July!  He has made progress since the strokes he suffered, but is still working on regaining strength, his speech, and occasional memory loss.  He is usually in a really good mood and can laugh at just about anything. Henry was ready to get back to Minnesota right away. Bill has been very busy with work at the church and ministry school,  so Ronda bravely drove herself and Henry all the way from Texas!  She is an amazing woman. 

As for me and Bill, we are working on having a home built.  It will take about 4 months, so we are temporarily renting a home from my parents. Most of our stuff is in storage, so we're feeling a bit unsettled at the moment.  I am still homeschooling the kids and we have recently spent quite a bit of time at the State Capitol, studying the process of lawmaking. The kids learned how to lobby.  That was quite entertaining.  Sara loved it....Britain preferred that she do all the talking. 

The Training Room Boston

Heidi and her business partner, Maren, have worked tirelessly to make their dream of opening up their own personal training studio a reality. Larry recently went to Boston to assit them with many of the remodeling projects in their studio. With lots of help from their friends and loved ones, they completed many projects and are on target for opening in July. Congratulations Heidi and Maren and we wish you best of luck with your studio! Check out The Training Room on facebook and at their web sit: www.thetrainingroomboston.com.

Yale Graduation Day!!!

The weather was perfect for Yale graduation day. Heidi, Alex, Larry, and I were so proud of Luke for receiving his Masters of Fine Arts in Theater Design, culminating three years of hard work. In addition, Luke received an award from the Drama college for excellence in costume design. He is moving to New York City to pursue a career in theater design on or off Broadway! Best of luck Luke and congratulations on a job well done! We love you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEIDI!!!!
