Extreme Home Makeover

We wish it was our house they were in front of!!! Not so lucky but someone else in Charlotte is. Rich got to work Extreme Home Makeover here in Charlotte last week. Since we had been partying at the reunion for the weekend, the Monday morning 7 am call was unpleasant but he had a fun day, minus the bike crash!

Everyone on the show was great and really appreciative of what they were doing. They set a record for most EMS calls on a shoot in one day. It was extremely hot and people were going down right and left.


Rich missed most of the actual reveal. While everyone was yelling "Move that bus" he was trying to move someone out of the crowd without being caught by a camera.

Look for the show in October some time! We are becoming quite the famous family. We have to have a Trading Spaces event in September and now we have to watch Extreme Home Makeover in October to see if we catch a glimpse of Rich.

Just had to throw this one in. He wants to be just like his daddy!

Trip to Southern California

Della and John had a terrific week in Southern California (Sep 15 to 22). Our favorite family members, Fran, Merle and Jeff Gerhardt made us more than comfortable and provided many wonderful eating events which which they are famous. We visited with our young friends, Alanna and Eric Hoyer who we have known since their births and Eric's wife Susan. The 5 Hoyer dogs provided much entertainment. One highlight of the trip was our attendance at Lynwood High School, Class of 1959's 50th Year Reunion. It was a blast to see friends from long ago. It was held at the Long Beach Marriott Hotel 18 and 19 September.
