Derf Here!
Back home in Scarborough, Maine from Illinois and Indiana. A great visit was had and a great homecoming to 198 Pine Point Road. (Welcomed by Lew, Tracy, and of course, Pepper, the bestest kitty in captivity.) It is nice to visit and observe family activities, but it is also nice to return home to familiar surroundings. Now must prepare for winter. Bring it on!
Three big events were witnessed in our last Midwest week. We attended "senior night" at the football game. Kelsey was honored (with Joe and Kim) as a member of the cheering squad and as a super-duper head Drum Major for the award-winning Eureka High School Band! This event gave Kaelen and I a chance to use up our excess bubble stuff left over from Chris and Heidi's wedding. Congratulations to Kelsey and family friend Ali for senior night recognition.
Saturday we traveled to University of Illinois at Champaign. Band competition was the day's event. Kelsey's band competed with ten other bands (total of eleven) in their class. They received two trophies, including the overall second place trophy. (Prior to the awards ceremony we had the opportunity to watch the U of I band of 330 performers put on a show. What a great band. One of the best college bands in the country.) This week Eureka will go to Illinois State University in Bloomington for the state championship competition. The winning band at University of Illinois will not be in their class, so we're hoping for a good showing. Good luck to the Hornets!
Sunday morning we went to a local church where Joe's college choir (about 80 voices) performed. One song featured Kaelen and friend Sara in a duet. Well done, ladies! This was the first public performance of the choir and they did a great job in our opinion. A great service.
A brief lunch time -- loaded the R.V. and started for Maine at 1:00 p.m. Central time. Spent Sunday night at a truck stop in the R.V. Left Monday morning after cereal about 8:00 a.m. Drove through until home at about 10:00 p.m. We stopped for snacks a couple times and for gas several more times. Only one incident while traveling on the Mass. Pike. I missed a little doggy and the van that had stopped in the middle of the road with no flashers. Spouse told daughter that I drive like a NASCAR driver. I take that as a compliment. Thanks, Spouse!
Enough said for now.
Until next time!
Toodle Pip!
Derf!

It was so nice seeing you at the wedding. Thanks for coming. I'm glad you are home safe and sound. Tell Josh that I think his team would get a win if they played the Colts. Your Patriots are looking good. We may see them in Indy.
