BUT WAIT!  There's more. But you gotta wait cause the more is still coming in October!  Ya all come back and find out what!!!

REFLECTIONS 
I was refreshed to hang out with family in the mid-West! Having travel adventures and visiting with friends in Park Falls also helped!  I enjoyed spending the summer at home but it is nice to rekindle relationships and get a change of surroundings along with leaving responsibilities behind. Nice to have family to house me and son/grandson to drive me.  Thanks, Everyone!! 

This has been a good 3 GeoGram weeks in the life of Gram G.
