Right of Passage

by Clay
You may remember the first time you got to mow the yard, at least I do. It was a highly anticipated and memorable moment when grandpa trusted me enough to let me MOW! And he allowed me to help years before my dad did.

Here's a video of Cameron's first experience mowing this past weekend. He's quite excited about it.

Dear Carl Myers Travelers:

After this week we will have been at the task of providing rides for Carl to Ft Wayne for 16 weeks. I hope you know how thankful Carl, Doreen, and the whole family are for your generous rides.

Now, in consultation with the family, we believe it is time change our strategy. It is our plan to move from a style which demands special trips to a plan which, hopefully, can take advantage of occasional journeys that can combine your needs to be in Fort Wayne when Carl can ride along.

Here’s what we are suggesting: When any of you find yourselves heading for Ft Wayne for shopping, medical visits, or whatever, we encourage you to invite Carl to be a passenger. He can be dropped off at the hospital (he no longer needs someone to stay with him), where he can visit with Doreen and then return with you to Timbercrest on your schedule.

I expect I will remind you each week to include Carl in your travel plans when it makes sense to you. You can simple call or email me or phone Carl to set up the trip. My observation is that we are traveling often enough to provide a fairly regular ride for Carl.

If this raises any questions or reactions , please let me know. In the meantime I will look forward to our continuing serving Carl and Doreen in this more informal way.
