Still on the Road

As I mentioned last week, I've been on a major road trip. Over the past 10+ days I've driven well over 2,000 miles, through Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. We were able to attend the Navy boot camp graduation of my granddaughter last Thursday, and it was a very memorable experience. I'm grateful to so many of you who kindly expressed thanks for her willingness to serve. Soon she will be off to her specialized training and on with her chosen career.

Right now, I am traveling with one of my kids, Eric, with his wife and their son. (Eric and his wife joined us last Wednesday, in time for their daughter's graduation.) Today, we are traveling in the Great Lakes area of Pennsylvania and Ohio. We have one or two places to visit today, then we will continue our trip westward, toward home.

I hope that your week is off to a good start and that you enjoy the tips in this week's newsletter.
