All is well.

We all continue to do quite well here in Nevada. It has cooled off a bit and we have had rain and snow, which was a bit different than this time last year.

The boys are doing great and we are proud of both of them for the great work each is doing and the fantastic grades Matthew and Nikolas receive. Gail attended an informational meeting this week concerning a charter school which will open in the new school year. We are considering having Matthew attend as it appears it will be a better environment for him. We will keep you posted.

Gail and her cleaning are going well. She is up to 4 accounts and along with her Pampered Chef business is quite busy. She is enjoying the change as it allows her more flexibility to do the various things she wants to do and it helps with the financial side as well. One nice benefit was going on a date this week for lunch. Andy and Gail hope to make this a more frequent event.

Andy remains quite busy with work. He has a few major jury trials coming up in the beginning of the year. Andy did not take the job with the District Attorney's office, but has left that option open for the future. We shall see what happens. Andy is on the negotiating team for the public attorney association and there were negotiations this week. The association and county appear to be getting closer and hopefully this will all be wrapped up by the end of the year.

Andy and Matthew went on a fun little trip on Saturday. In Battle Mountain fireworks are legal and so he and Matthew went out to check out the various shops. There is one store that has a fireworks museum with some pretty nifty items. No, they did not bring anything home, but the 100 shot aerial show was quite tempting. Matthew enjoyed the missiles and torpedoes one of the shops has outside (these are actual ones by the way, but are no longer live).

Hope you have a great week. We wish you all well.
