Dad 98: Back Home

(Wait a second... I just typed in the following!  How come nobody told me about Kaelen's technology?  LOL!  Enjoy Dad's post!  --  Tracy)

Derf Here!  A day late and a dollar short!  Nothing unusual about that.  Back in the Northeast after a successful trip to Mid-America.

First a note about last week's post from Eureka.  The writing was completed and waiting for Kim to type and send to Tracy, when granddaughter Kaelen asked me if I wanted her to take care of the typing.  However, Kaelen has an iPad and she did not do any typing.  She dictated it to the screen.  She talked and it wrote!  Technology is remarkable!  I understand nothing, just accept it.

Went out to eat in Indy with sister Jean.  Received word from Jean that she will be taking trips to the eatery with Wendy!  Good!  Go for it!

We thoroughly enjoyed Kelsey's graduation and graduation party at Kelsey's home.  It was attended by around 40-50 people.  (I should state that the home is also lived in by Kaelen, Kim, Joe, and Cocoa!)  It was a great event!  Especially seeing Kelsey's cousins in attendance from Indy.  It was great to have Gordon and Kathy Morrow attend the party.  I hope they got home not too late and were able to rise up and make work the next day.  Thanks to all who came to the party.  We talked to several acquaintances that were probably last seen at Kaelen's graduation party three years ago.  Thanks, to all who helped!  Thanks for graduating, Kelsey!  We are all relieved!  Now off to college!

Kaelen travelled back to Maine with us and has set up housekeeping in the motor home.  This is her summer apartment while working down at the Clambake.  Her fourth season!  We arrived home on Wednesday after taking two days for the trip.  Tracy agreed to allow me to switch to Thursday this week to post as we were on the road Wednesday.

We were welcomed home by a new cat, Jeremiah.  He is four months old and very nosy as he scouts about the house.  Not sure how long it will take our 15-year-old Pepper to accept the new member of the family.  Hopefully it will eventually happen!  We hope!  As of now it isn't happening!  HISS!

It is good to visit family that live afar, but it is good to get back to the comfort of home.  Back to our routine of baseball and lacrosse games.  I find it difficult to operate under the central time zone.  The only thing good about central time is the televised games are on one hour earlier.  I don't have to stay up as late for game results.  No games today as the Red Sox have the day off and the Celtics have backed themselves into a deciding game seven.  This to see if the play in the Eastern finals.  They will probably win game seven at home and then go down in defeat against Miami for the chance to play in the finals.  They have had a good year.  Better that I expected!  Getting old!  Think about it, OLD in their thirties.  What am I, then?  Ancient!! Yes!

Thought I had more to say.  I must have left it all in the Midwest.  Soooo!

Until next time!

Toodle Pip!

Derf!
