New Experiences:

Hello everyone:

This summer has been one of new experiences:

Auntie’s New Experiences:

· Attending a Women for Kansas’ Meeting (check it out at http://womenforkansas.org/)
· Attending a National Alliance on Mental Illness meeting-This is usually for those with mental illness but it appears ours in Reno County is for parents of those with mental illness. Kate and I both attended and she is now the program with Gus for August.
· “Campaign Manager” for Chris for Hutch.
· Parade director for Chris for Hutch. We have been in the 4^th of July parade and the Emancipation Parade. Two very different events but both quite fun.
· Made over 1000 pinwheels (helped by Grandma) for campaign events
· Vacuuming the rug and swoop suddenly Ellie Mae’s tail is in the vacuum. Not good. We were able to get it out without a trip to the vet.
· Seeing Joseph at Music Theater Wichita. Love that show.
· Using the new self-check out and check in at the public library.
· Learning a new ticketing system at work

Tim’s New Experiences:

· Developing “Liza Elbow”. (he thought it could be from carrying Liza but also probably from work)
· Campaign Treasurer for Chris for Hutch. They discovered that having a bit of rum and coke really made the reporting not so bad. (we just hope it didn’t hinder the accuracy)
· Leading a Bible Study on Satan
· Driving the truck for two parades. No accidents, either.
· Helping his mom “shop” for nursing homes.
· Dog class with Liza.

Upcoming new experiences:

Auntie:

· A new boss at work. It is a lady this time. Should be interesting.
· Perhaps attending a political rally for Women for Kansas. Anyone want to join me on August 29?
· Be dazzled bra contest at the fair.
