A lot has gone on this month. Several deaths in our church family and one of my good friends lost his son in a tragedy. I have a heavy heart for all involved. I have been to several funerals and I was always told to be sure and go to your friends funeral so they will go to yours. We finally got some rain and we got it in abundance. My pond is way overflowing and now have a lake in backyard area. It is also exciting to have Jessica pregnant with a baby boy, this will be a special experience for us. I am sure we will adapt quickly. I have to go to a medical seminar this weekend so that usually is a mixed experience. It is not a lot of fun to travel as much anymore. It occurs at the same time of course as something else I would love to attend. Everybody else at home are dong well and mom baby sits all the time and is trying to find rental houses for some who want to get out of apartment living into a house. I enjoy working and feel it is working well and I am not mentally ready to retire and cut grass. I get anothr MRI to check on progress before long so keep us in your prayers. thank you. jim and Linda Hogin
