A little behind

Wow, I've been a little behind in updating dad's blog. Sorry about that. So far, dad's updates include that "everything's going fine." While he's starting to get a bit tired, he's still doing great and biking every mile. Yesterday in Woodstock, my cousins, Bonnie and Eric, surprised him with a visit and brought him one of his favorite food items - chocolate chips. She sent me a picture to prove he's still alive (and eating).

He received some more mail and care packages. A big thank you to all who sent him something! The next mail stop is in St. Catharines, ON and needs to be there by August 23.
This week they'll be arriving in Grand Rapids. It turns out the bike route goes less than 1/2 mile from his house in Allendale. We'll be along side the road cheering them all on. Some friends of ours, Jim Reiffer, Jason Reiffer, and Dave & Jenny Wenger, are joining the bike tour on Saturday for the day. We wish them the best! Hope you guys can keep up with them! (Just kidding).
Until next time...

I'm a classmate of Roger's (Unity Chr. '69). My sister Carol (and her husband Rich Rienstra) are on the SeaToSea tour (joining the group Sunday from GR). I'll be watching your blog for news and please know my prayers and support are with him and all fellow riders. I'll catch up with him at the next reunion. Gloria Aukeman
