Derf Here! From the great northeast corner of these United States. The day's weather is "as good as it gets." Just a gorgeous pre-fall day. I plan on enjoying this great weather week, as predicted by the experts.
Another week has passed and another football game for Josh and Zack. Josh's team, winless last year as eighth-graders, won their second game of the year. Zack's team, undefeated the last two years, continued its winning ways as sixth-graders. Will be attending Josh's game tomorrow and Zack's on Saturday. I'll keep you posted.
Spent Saturday afternoon with Lew, Glen, Josh, and Zack at Sanford Airport for a fantastic show of model planes flying and model car races. The pilots put on quite a show with their skills as they put their planes through various maneuvers. Also saw two full-size planes exhibit flying skills. Having seen several air shows at Owls Head, I enjoyed the model air show more than the regular size airplanes' performance. Both were very entertaining.
Glen was at the show Thursday through Sunday. He took the motor home and stayed on site for the duration. He entered the model car races and did quite well. He performed so well he earned a spot in the final two races, which had professional drivers. He moved up from the B group to A. A remarkable feat. He did not win anything, but was ninth out of 22 drivers. I think that is accurate. Josh and Zack rode down Saturday with Lew and I and stayed on with Glen in the motor home. I traveled back on Sunday. It was an enjoyable weekend. Should mention Josh celebrated his 14th birthday on Sunday past. Happy Birthday, Josh! Cake and ice cream to follow. I'll be there!
I haven't been very active on the computer for the past two months. Am now getting back to my pre-summer routine. So, watch out, I'M BACK! Let this be a warning to you.
I'll close with a prayer request for a dear family friend. When daughter Tracy attended Colby College she roomed with Jen Armstrong and Suzy Seymour. (Suzy is the daughter of Ted and Anne Seymour. Ted and Anne were at Gordon College while I was there many years ago.) Tracy and Suzy became good friends. We got to know Suzy at this time. Suzy has had a phenomenal life. She is married to pastor Barry Gaeddert and they serve in the UK. About two years ago Suzy was operated on for a brain tumor. The tumor returned and she was operated on yesterday. I ask your prayers for this vibrant young lady who has so much to offer this world. Please add Suzy to your prayers. Also pray for Barry and their two sons, Zachary and Micah.
Until next time!
Toodle Pip!
Derf!
