Even in Michigan, "Go Pokes"!

We were blessed to spend the week at Epworth Heights, Ludington, MI

with our good friends Hank, Tricia, and Sophie Belz. Many of you

already know this, but Emma and Sophie lived together in the same

orphanage in Vietnam when they were babies. We always have a great

time and thank the Belz's for inviting us up to "Pure Michigan"!

Well summer kicked off in the Keller household Memorial Day weekend!

Cathy, Emma and I are all out of school until mid-August. We opened

all of our swimming pools on time and so far so good with them, same with our

snow cone stand in EL Reno which we converted to a drive through. Emma

has been going to Francis Tuttle during the day and has reunited with

her friends Lauren, Madelyn, and Jake. She has moved on to AAU Level 2

in gymnastics and now goes twice a week for two hours. She has also started

a youth golf class at Lake Hefner Golf Course. She is a busy girl! We are

looking forward to vacationing with Hank, Tricia, and Sophie on Lake

Michigan in July! Summer is off to a good start here in the 405. We haven't

hit 100 degrees yet, but we know it's coming!
