There is much to report from the Speer house. We went on our family vacation from August 10th through August 17th. We visited Gatorland, Sea World, Florida Caverns State Park, and attended my family reunion in Louisiana at Lake Bisteneau State Park. We also got a chance with my father-in-law in Ocala on our way up to Louisiana and our way back.

Unfortunately it was our last visit with him, as he lost his battle to lung cancer. Robert Nelson Speer, born October 9, 1947, passed away on Tuesday August 18, 2009 at age 61. We will be attending his memorial services on Monday August 31st.

The children are back to school, which I think I am more happy about that they are. Brianna has begun a dance class, as has Logan. Heck, even I signed up for a class. I know it's been 14 years since I've put on a pair of jazz shoes, but it sure is fun!

I am busy with the American Heart Association in West Palm Beach preparing for the Start! Heart Walk that will be held on Saturday, September 26th. I am on the Host Committee, and we have only a few more meetings to finalize all of the details for this year's walk. I'd love for you to help me raise funds to help fight heart disease and stroke, the number 1 & 3 killer in the United States.
