June 26 2016 Letter

Caleb and Jacob:

I hope all is well with you.  In case you missed it June 21st was the summer solstice and now the days will gradually start getting shorter.  Every year I can't believe we are already there but time passes and it never changes.

Mom isn't a morning girl but it has been light in our bedroom in the mornings such that she's up and after it every morning.  I find that I'm sleepy sometimes in the middle of the day because I rise early and go to bed late simply because we have the daylight.

Yesterday was Grandma Follett's funeral.  It was really good.  Grandma really didn't want a funeral but it was a good thing to get together as a family.  Uncle Bill related events in our lives, like funerals, to traffic accidents, where we slow down before the accident and anticipate seeing the accident and then afterwards we drive carefully and obey the traffic laws for a period of time.  Soon we forget about it and carry on normally.  He then suggested that we examine our lives during this period of "seeing the accident" and immediately afterwards to make needed changes in our lives.  it was great.

Sydney sang at the funeral.  Grandma wanted to have Sydney sing "How great thou art" and it ended up being a quartet (Syd, Emily, Grandpa, and Dan).   She sounded awesome.

This past week the Huffs called and had ordered too much sod.  They asked if we wanted it so we put down some sod in the back yard.  I'll send a picture.

Finally, I've been on several rides and will send pictures.  The summer is awesome.  

I love the two of you.  Keep the faith and do your best.

Dad
