Hello,
I have not written for a while and Michiko keeps reminding me to post a message.  I have had a busy summer.  First my partner hit a dog on the 4th of July with his motorcycle and wrecked it badly.  So we didn’t take any motorcycle trips.  Then a few weeks later he totaled his brand new Mustang GT.  We have not had good luck this summer. 
My daughter got married in August.  Then we bought a new business.  We are now the proud owners of  Fast Stop Fitness.  It is a fitness club for men only.  Just like Curves only we have made it better.  I still work my regular job, but Spencer now only works at Fast Stop.  Owning our own business for the first time is pretty scary, but we are having fun planning our Grand Opening.
This week we will be hosting a Japanese student from Mutsu City, Japan.  Our school has an exchange every year at this time.  We always enjoy our students.  I have many fond memories of hosting students from NACOS!  I wish we had the chance to host for long term.

See you Soon,
Laura Dietrich
Port Angeles, Washington
PS if anyone who knows me from Hawaii reads this I have reallly been thinking about our friends there and would like to know how to get ahold of a few.
