More Contrast

As most of you know, Al (Britt's dad) has been battling pancreatic cancer for the last year and a half. He passed away this past thursday (Aug 3) at 5 am. His passing was peaceful and he was surrounded by family. The family is in mourning as well as taking care of 1001 details involved. Please keep us in your prayers and thoughts. Britt decided that it would be a good idea to go with the boys and I to the RuDiBalle. This is the yearly Ruhe/Diehl/Geballe family gathering at the Geballe home in CT. It proved to be a bit overwhelming for Britt at first who needed to go off by herself for a while but when she returned she was much better and at the end of the day reported that the gathering was exactly what she needed. There was food, boating, swimming, singing, tennis-ball baseball, sparklers and laughter on a picture perfect Saturday afternoon. Thanks again to Gordy and Shelley for making it happen.
