Hello From Wichita:

We are late but not lost:)  Summer here has been working in the yard and working on wellness.  Hannah was home for almost a month (it was great to have her so long) and she did lots of yard work with help from Erik and Samuel.  The back flower gardens now have brick/rock edges to keep out the  grass.  We also moved our "statuary" into a more prominent spot.

Crepe myrtles by the drive.  This was mother's day and father's day gift.

Samuel has some new medicine.  And it seems to be helping him.  He played two shows last week and there is another one tomorrow night.  Hannah was able to go to one of them last week.

Erik had surgery last Wednesday for a hernia on the right side and a "sportman's hernia" on the left.  They happen to people who play sports with lots of twisting.  He had trouble with the pain medicine giving him nausea and heartburn.  The nausea medicine settled everything down and today he is up and doing much better.  He has limited activity for 4-6 weeks.  No ultimate:(

Tim was in San Francisco for 4 days attending NAMI national convention.  He heard many speakers and there is lots of new research for mental illnesses.  Some are even looking at brain training to help the brain rebuild itself.

Vicki has been working and helping with the yard work.  Best wishes to all.  Stay cool:)
