July calendar

Hello all.

With my mom being able to shuffle around a bit, my parents will not be needing many overnight guests any more, although out-of-towners will always be welcome to stay at my folks' house. My dad has taken over "calendar" duties, so if you can visit during July please call or email him. bandjhansen@comcast.net or 916-772-7986 (home) or 916-420-2303 (Brian's cell)

The kids and I will be in California with my parents from Sunday, June 22nd through Monday, July 7th. They will be looking for 2-4 hour visits on various days of the week after that, with an occasional overnight stay.

Plans are shaping up for the ongoing search for Rita. A family friend, who lives in Davis and vacations in Hamilton, Montana, offered to either look for Rita or drop off live cat-traps in Challis as they drive through later this week. Thank you Sylvia and Don! The traps would allow a local person to set out food and check the traps every day or so to see if she came in to eat. Animal lovers who have never seen a live trap need not worry, they are very safe and the little door just closes behind the animal with no possibility of injury. So now begins the mad scramble to find two live cat traps by tomorrow around noon.
