The trip to Cincy, with the guys was spectacular with so much laughter and fun and lifelong friends. We seem to revert to our childhood whenever we see each other. It is great for the mind spirit and soul but getting harder each year on the body. We try to pace ourselves as best we can but staying up late is always a challenge for me. The bars in Mt Adams and young pretty woman seemed to help a lot.
In Ft Wayne my nephew Mark Weigand plays for univ of Denver and they played Indiana University in soccer. It was a great match and tied 0-0 Mark is the center and had a great game. Steve, Mary Ellen, David, Matt and Emily where all there. We only got to visit for a bit but was so great to be with them. My Aunt Sally and Uncle Bob cousin Joe and his son were there as well. It had been years since I had seen anyone and was good to catch up.
The weeks golf was uninspiring but had a great time with Mike and Scott in New Haven and also with my brother in laws Dave, Glenn and my nephew Brad. Brad and I took the guys and won 12 bucks.
The wedding in Terre Haute was beyond awesome. Lynn and Joe were the most wonderful hosts making the weekend so special for everyone. I stayed at there house and had such a good time. My niece Lindsey looked so beautiful at the wedding. It is so fun to be with the younger generation. The only problem is we can not hang with them anymore which is tough.
My nieces and nephews were a ball and we hung out at the Copper Inn having drinks. A few good pics below from the night. especially Sue smoking a cigarette. Joe had the wallet out getting us all our favorite beverages. It was pretty sad when he asked me to be the designated driver that night but all was safe.
The trip was such a much needed break and I enjoyed every minute, except maybe the 15 hour drives each way. I needed to get back to the island so I can catch up on my rest. I will be back on the water tomorrow for a week before heading to Phoenix for the job interview for the Center for nature and urban wildlife at Scottsdale Community college. Then I will head back to Fl with the camper and see where I will be living. Maybe we should have a contest!!! Either Fl or Az you choose to see where I end up!!! Either way it is all good with options.
sandy and Lynn loaded me up with food to bring back and will have my Cajun friends cook up some of Sandy's Anduille sausage and see if it measures up to Cajun standards. It will be good to get back on the water and spend time with my friends here again before leaving. Booty, my roommate was not here last night when I got back. It was good because I got a good nights sleep and was able to relax after the long trip.
