It is our habit to go visit out of town relatives twice a year. We are going to be heading to Montana to see how Grandma and Grandpa are holding up out on the farm and to help them get ready for the winter. The calendars aligned on rather short notice this year, so we thank you for your patience and understanding.

Stay safe and we will see you soon!
