Happy Halloween
In case you're wondering . . . Rachel as Elle Wood (from Legally Blonde), Samantha as a leopard, Sarah as a Prom Queen (aka 1981 North Manchester Junior Miss) and Jeffery as a dinosaur.

Another season comes to an end . . .
It's inevitable, but that doesn't make it any easier to accept.
Steve and I probably took our last footin' runs for 2004 this morning. The air temp was a brisk 46 (Can you say brain freeze?) and the water temp was about 54 . . . The only thing that keeps you warm this time of year is the adrenaline from dodging the shots of duck hunters.

Another season ends
The LCA Lady Cougars ended their volleyball season with an outstanding performance. Unfortunately, it was not a winning performance, but this very young team (only one eighth grade starter) made great strides and will return next season ready to set, spike and win!
Can you guess who we think the star player is?

Benchmarks
Some people leave their mark behind as they journey through life,
and allow everyone to reap the benefits.
Some people touch lives even of those they never meet.
Some people simply give life, and history, to everything that their lives touch.
That describes my parents, David and Jane Grandstaff.
They have been setting benchmarks for years, but in 2000, they became the reason for a new Benchmark. In 2000, Steve and I along with my sister Penny and her husband Rick, honored their rich history of giving by placing a bench and a Gingko tree at the North Manchester Public Library. It now also serves as a great reason for a yearly photo to benchmark our lives.
