Dear ones,
On August 17, we received the word that we had sold the RV. After we thanked the Lord that we had sold it, we started looking for a new car on August 20. The utmost test was that Marilyn could get into it by herself. The only one that passed the test was the Scion IM. We received delivery on the Scion on August 26 with just 13 miles on it. WE LOVE IT! I know you will be surprised that 
it is a red car!! And did I mention that WE LOVE IT! We were told that since it was built by Toyota, it will be incorporated into the Corolla line by next year. So essentially, we bought another Toyota. Our RAV4 has served us well for the past 16 years with 200,000 miles plus registered on it. We trust the Scion will do as well by us as the RAV4 did. We are very happy with it so far.
We plan to drive our new car to Indianapolis on September 26 to attend Glen’s 60th high school reunion in Brownsburg Indiana, and we plan to drive on September 27, arriving in Brownsburg on the 27th. We will be staying in Brownsburg until October 2, at which time we will drive back home on October 3, arriving in Kansas City area by October 4.
We plan to entertain the Swanson’s, Wally and Vicki on the fifth or sixth of October. They are friends from Memphis Tennessee and they may be moving to our apartment complex around the first of the year. Please be praying about this. We would love to have them as neighbors.
I have only fallen twice since June 27. We think that is a major accomplishment. I did embarrass myself since I fell at Matt’s house. At least I had two handsome grandsons to help me get up. That was one benefit of the fall. Another benefit was that I am off Warfarin so I did not bruise nearly as badly as I might have were I taking the medicine. Another benefit was that I did not need to go to the hospital. I did heal up nicely with just a minimal amount of bruising. Much of it has faded away now, just a week later. That is a very good thing.
On August 28, we were able to hear the Liberty quartet. They were missing one member so there were only three. They were really good. On September 18, our Sunday school class is having a taco bar after church. And some time in between when we get back from Indianapolis and before the taco bar event, is Boomers and Builders, when we will all be singing the songs from the Sound of Music. That should be a lot of fun! Boomers and Builders is a new group and is aimed to include an enlarged age group.
It is encouraging to us to know that many are praying for us. Thank you for all of your concern. We do appreciate the prayers, phone calls, and letters that we have received over the past few months. Don’t be afraid of us. Marilyn will not be content until she hears from all of you.
We love you,
Glen and Marilyn
