Judy decided she needed more exercise, so she bought a bicycle to save her knees from the stress of running. Here's her bike outfitted for riding in the house for exercise.	Geof liked the biking idea, so he went out and bought a tandem bike. Tulsa has a very nice bike trail system, and Geof has dragged (almost literally!) Judy all over town. It is great fun.	Jerry graduated from Washington University in St. Louis last spring and he took a job in Houston working for Jacobs Engineering. Here is his truck all loaded for the move to Houston last June.

We were sad to see Jerry go (especially hard on Judy), but we wouldn't want him to do anything else.	Judy plays piano at Southern Hills Retirement Center every Sunday evening for Ric Carradini, one of our church friends who is the part-time preacher at the center. Ric asked Geof to preach on several occasions when Ric was out of town.	Geof's big project over the summer was to replace the floor of the deck. It required about 120 12' long 2x6's. We replaced it in sections.	All the boys chipped in to help. Unfortunately, we had to see Joey's underwear on several occasions.

Geof has to have knee pads with his kneecap that was broken three years ago. His knee will never be the same, but he has gotten the strength up to about 80%.	Getting a little music going to help the work go by faster.	Here is a crew hired by the city to pick up ice-storm debris. This is only a small portion of what we cleared from our backyard.	These are socks Judy knitted for her mother. The yarn was multi-colored. What is especially amazing is that the socks are identical!
