RUDE UPDATE

We had a nice party for Mat's 50th birthday and our 20th Anniversary, with a couple of surprises, notably my friend Jeni and her husband who live in Virginia showed up at our door. They were in Bozeman visiting family and drove up for the day. Mat's youngest brother, Jason, and his family, also came.

For Labor Day, we went to the Griz (University of Montana) football game in Missoula on Saturday, and then spent the rest of the weekend working around the house. We have a lot of dead trees from the pine beetle infestation, and we have some people who have agreed to cut the trees if they can have the wood. Works well for us as we would have to pay alot to get someone to do it. We have lots of trees, but you would be amazed at how many are dead and "red".

It was great to be back in the stadium with 25,000 of our closest friends!

Sounds like you had a good birthday celebration for Marie!

Good to hear from you.

PHONE CALL WITH DAD

Dad says he is sitting around lazy as can be, but everything is going pretty good. The grain is all harvested, and they are about to start cutting corn. The grain yields were good, and the beets look good.

He has a cold and sore throat but it isn't bothering him that much. He just takes what comes, no matter what, and does the best he can; that's all he can do. Watching what goes on outside his window is a pretty good job! There has been quite a bit of rain so the hills and fields are green. It looks good! He says he is doing pretty good for an "old man."

As transcribed by Bill!
