Not much activity on the blog


Well, I have to say that, although limited, the adoption of the family blog concept is quite ahead of most people/families in the nation. Unfortunately, there is a huge gap between the Milicia participation and the Buchan participation. Is is this a result of life or are there other issues keeping family members from reaching out?

I will be visiting on Aug 4th for the Vintage Ohio festival. We are thinking that a nice swim would be the perfect end to a hot day of wine tasting so I will at least be there Friday night.I plan to look at Gram B's computer when I am there in a couple of weeks. Mom told me that Gramp's birthday is being celebrated on Saturday. So, I will try to be there for that as well.

Anyway, I wanted to share some critters that have been living in our flowerbeds.

MS Bike Ride

Hello everyone,

It has been quite awhile since I have posted. Paige and I just got back from a vacation in Ohio, visiting the Columbus area relatives. We spent 4 days with Paige's mom in Dayton, and the rest of the week with the Columbus and DeGraff relatives. It was really nice to see everyone.

Currently, I'm in training for the MS 150 bike ride. It is a two day event that covers 150 miles. If you are interested in donating to the event, my personal goal is $500.00 dollars. They have a bandana that you wear, that signifies that you are riding for someone with MS. Of course, I will be riding for Ang. I will have to get her to sign it for me. (Some people ride for people they don't know, the MS person signs it and they meet at the end of the ride.) I am riding for the Areva team, (Duke doesn't support sport teams, so I'm riding for one of our vendors). Here is the link to my page for the MS ride, you can make online donations etc.
