Happy Birthday America

Hello everyone!

The 4th of July is just a couple of days away so I thought I would let you know about the Mirus Familly summer. 

Mitch is finishing up his coaching season for Ryan's high school hockey team.  It's a good thing he will be done in a couple of weeks since work at REI is picking up again.  The hockey team is in 2nd place right now.  We have a playoff game tonight and if we win the championship game is July 14.  We were invited to play against the deaf olympic team a couple of weeks ago and Mitch ended up in the emergency room at the end of the  game.  One of the players lost control of his stick and it flew over the bench and hit Mitch in the face.  He was unconsious for 45 seconds so they called the ambulance and made him go to the hospital.  He is fine and it just looked like he cut himself shaving.  Anyway the freak accident took our minds off our loss of the game.

Amy is working three jobs this summer to make money for her fall term.  She will be spending her fall term in Asia.  She leaves for Japan on August 29th and will take classes as well as sight see in Japan, Taiwan, China including Hong Kong, and then spend a few days in Hawaii before coming home for Thanksgiving.  She is really excited about the trip.  I'm not sure how I will do without seeing her for 3 months.

Ryan is playing hockey for his high school and also for two mens league teams.  He builds houses with Meticulus Builders during the day and plays hockey at night.  He still manages to see his friends too. 

Melissa got her drivers license and is out and about with her friends.  She picked up some job applications but has yet to fill them out.  She is attending a church camp in Michigan for a week and is looking forward to that.  She went last year and made new friends that she is excited about seeing again. 

I am spending most of my time in the garden.  It takes me over an hour to water all the flowers.  But I enjoy the color in the yard.  Keeping track of everyones schedules and laundry also keep me busy.  In my free time I enjoy reading and crocheting. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! We will be enjoying Batavia's fireworks as we do every year.  Take care and send a message.

Love you all, Jan

  1. Hi Jan,   Thanks for the message.  Sounds like all kinds of exciting things are happening with your family.  Gardening must run in the family.  We just saw Beverly's yard and it is beautiful.  I love her roses.  Wish we could all see yours.  How about a photo? You can start a Mirus photo album on our photo page.    Boyd's cutting & hauling hay today, it's going to get to 96 degrees.  We usually don't have such good weather for the 4th.  I've been busy building new web sites for all my family history.  Will close for now.  Hope to hear from all of our family members soon. Love, Leslie
