What's Happening

We just finished spring break with our youngest boys in Chile. For the past four years we’ve been playing “standby roulette” with the airlines and this year the plane with the most seats available took us to Santiago. We got a lot of hiking in—good prep for the PCT.

Our youngest daughter spent the week before our vacation visiting us in Buena Vista. Got her out to the track fundraiser, Thai, Mexican, and a tour of the newly completed library remodel. Lots of games! She’s back at school now, counting the days until a May graduation.

The new library is open! We had a grand opening last week and I’m not sure which the community is most impressed with…the beautiful remodel, that we built it so close to what we said it would cost, or that it was finished on time. Best views in town!

The Youth Writing Contest results are in. We had a record number of submissions at 73! Deep in the throes of planning the ceremony mid-April that I unfortunately will not be able to attend.

The Books: Diverted is back with the publisher for final production. Check out the cover here!
