Hi Aunt Leslie & all :-)

Hi Aunt Leslie,
What a great site you have here!  It is  really great to read everyone's letters here.  This was such a great idea Aunt Leslie -- THANK YOU
We are still really busy here with  the household  consisting of 6 people so far.  There is never a dull moment.  Bryan (who will be 25 in Sept.) is getting married around August 3rd in San Diego.  He has put in for a transfer with the Navy because he and Michelle want to live there.  She is an only child and would like to live closer to her family.  Bryan is in the process of going to school on the base -- he wants to get his doctorate in Electrical Engineering.  His fiance Michelle will be working towards her doctorate in Psychology.  Chris is still 14, and as big of a sports nut as he has always been.  He starts high school  in September.
He is also highly involved with his youth group, of which he is a youth leader.  It is almost midnight here, so I better hit the hay.  Hi to everyone out there -- it is so nice to read your letters.  I hope one of these years we can have a huge reunion where everyone will be able to attend.  Good night & take care all.
Love,
Bev

Illinois family says Hello

Hello everyone! 

This is a great idea.  I'm not much of a phone person or letter writer so this is wonderful for keeping in touch with family.  We at the Mirus house are all doing well.  Amy is a sophmore at Augustana College in Rock Island, IL.  She is at the moment majoring in chemistry and pre-med.  Ryan is a Jr. in high school and playing hockey on the varsity team.  He is also playing on a mens hockey team late at night.  Melissa is a sophmore in high school and is now in drivers ed.  I have only been out driving with her once.  I guess I'm like my mom, Thelma.  Mitch is still with the refrigeration company and is also the assistant coach of Ryan's hockey team.  I am at home  doing all the at home mom things.  Would love to hear from everyone.  

love, Jan

Doing a great job Aunt Leslie

Hello All,
    You are doing a great job so far Aunt Leslie.  I think you are going to have a ball with this, and the rest of us are going to have fun joining you.  I am really excited about all of this.
 
    This email address that you see with this is my hotmail address.  I used it so I wouldn't have to come up with a new passport for this site.
 
      I have been truly busy with my new job at Sunshine Gardens Nursing Home.  I love it there, the people are really great to work for and with.  I am also looking for a house to move into on the Northside close to Andy's school.  I am also keeping my eye open for a new hard drive, or new PC as this one is dying a slow death.  Hopefully Jim can help me out there.  He has been working on it, but not as steady as I would like him to.
 
     Anyway, keep up the great work, and GREAT JOB to Uncle Boyd on the jam!   It is Yummy!! Take care all.  Love to you,  Jeanne

Hello from Sheryl

o Hi, this message is from Sheryl Emerick.  I hope that everyone who reads this is doing well.  I have been forced from the comport of my couch to do this message.  I have been a couch potato for the last week or so as I have had knee surgery and am not getting around very well.  Please encourage my mother with adding pictures and messages as she is very excited about this.  Take Care, Sheryl & Family

Boyd's been busy.

Hi gang, It's quiet & cold here on the old farm with everyone else gone.  We got 3 new inches of snow last night.  Boyd made more strawberry/rubarb jam yesterday.  Last week he made current & elderberry jelly along with his strawberry/rubarb jam.  All by himself!  This afternoon I'll help Rylee write names on his valentines for school & help him with his 1st grade homework.  Busy, Busy. I want to hear from ALL of you. Love, Leslie.
