Howdy

Yes we are still alive. It's been two weeks since we posted anything on the blog. I'll try to bring you up to date on our doings.

The brilliant fall colors are here. The picture is of the trees across the road from our house. Fall is beautiful, but all of those leaves have to go somewhere. As you can see, most end up on our lawn.

Our days begin with a trip to the gym. every morning we walk to the gym and workout. Soon Erleen will have the figure of a 20 year-old and I will be as buff as I always thought I was.

The other innovation is bowling. We have joined a league. Our team is known as the Gutter Busters. I'm afraid that is a good description of my abilities. My handicap is 95. That qualifies me as a paraplegic.

Erleen has been studying night and day for her real estate exam. Somehow she still finds time to teach some local girls to make sushi (see picture). Today she had eight of our friends over for dinner after church. This evening she is having supper for our family bible study group. I don't know how she does it.

I am also including a picture of downtown Hannaford at rush hour. The road is North Dakota Highway 1. It is one of the busiest arteries in ND.
