Andy and I took an hour to go to McGinty’s Pub today to enjoy a really wonderful stout beer, Perennial’s Prodigal. It was a quiet hour with just my husband. We do not get time like that very often these days.
An Hour
Thirty Years
Thirty years ago today, Andy was initiated into the Sigma Chi Fraternity while he was a Freshman at Western Illinois University. As he would say, the fraternity was the one thing that has shaped his life more than any other. It gave him a guide for life, taught him leadership and responsibility, and made him a better person. Thank you to the Men of Sigma Chi who have given Andy so much.
Pie
Laura is full of smiles as she enjoys the blueberry pie that she worked so hard to make!
One Advantage
One advantage to having taken a picture nearly every day for over ten years is that I take an overload of pictures that occasionally result in the “great one.” I have no idea how many pictures I have deleted in the last ten years, but it is all worth it when you see this.
That is John crushing the mat during baseball practice last night. It is memories, and it is worth every minute even though it absolutely drives my family nuts when I say POTD (picture of the day)!
Pies
It is time to pass on the pie-making knowledge. Before long, she will be making pies better than me. My Grandma Evalyn and my Mom would be proud.
Shoe Size
He went from a 6.5 shoe size to a 9.5. My how things have changed in just 12 short months…
Like Father,
Like Daughter.
