August just flew by! The kids around here are getting ready for yet another year of school --- they start on Monday! My semester schedule for piano lessons has started again as well! I will also enjoy accompaning for the Lapeer East Choir, although I won't be able to attend many rehearsals during the week.
It was great to see Nana, my parents, and Uncle Chuck & Aunt Margie this past Thursday night! Jason and I always love to hear Uncle Chuck say our names: "J" and "Liz." We definately have royalty in our family line. Uncle Chuck told us how Billy Graham had asked the Ohman trumpet brothers to come to his college (when he was a college president out west before he was "famous"); at the same time the president of Kings College asked the Ohmans to come to his school in NY! The trumpeters had their bags packed, but they didn't know if they were headed East or West! Grandpa Ohman knew what to do, though! He phoned both presidents and asked if they'd take Nana! The president of Kings agreed, but Billy didn't.... so all 4 Ohmans went to Kings with a four year music scholarship!
Friday night we saw about 20 hot air balloons in Metamora, Michigan, during their "Metamora Days." If I had a digital camera, you'd love to see the pictures! The sight was so cool!

Neat story, Liz! I didn't know that about the Ohmans!!
You should put "digital camera" on your Christmas wish list. :)
Thought the same thing...ask Santa for a digital. What a fun story to read.
