Good day everyone. Welcome Aunt Jan, it was good to read your blog. The Beechgrovians are doing well. We took our first out of town trip in about 6 years last week. We went to Oxford Mississippi to visit some friends, the Lifferths. It was about a 6 hour trip. About 100 miles were spent on the Natchez Trace. It is a beautiful drive. For the first time in my life I really took the time to enjoy the drive. I think it is a symptom of getting older. I'll have to see the doctor about that. Of course that visit will be my first visit to a doctor in about 6 years. But I digress... In Oxford we visited Henry David Thoreau's home, took a tour of the Ole Miss campus, and hiked around a beautiful lake.

Other McKee news; Sarah was baptized two weeks ago. We had a very nice meeting for her. Papa spoke on the Holy Ghost and Grandma (Jenny's mom) spoke on baptism.

Sam is playing his first season of basketball with the YMCA league. He loves it. He is doing great at school.

Erin has been working hard to save up money for her 6th grade trip to Fall Creek Falls. They have a 3 day trip planned the end of May. The next week we are going to Disneyland. She is doing extra cleaning around the house to save up. Erin has many talents. One of these days, I'm going to post a book that she wrote. She did pictures and all. Her latest work has been a comic strip type story. She uses pictures to depict a conversation two girls are having.

Jenny is doing great. My work is as busy as it's ever been. Ever since the beginning of the year I have been busier than at any other time. We are in the beginning stages of being purchased by another company. I don't foresee any layoffs for me or my teams as a result. If anything, I think things will be better.

Until next time...
