Our weekends are always full of activities. The Goddard Fall Festival had beautiful weather (except for the wind) for a parade. The marching bands were out in full colors and the Shriners were well represented too. Our PT Cruiser Club was present and I have photos of a couple. The video is fro
m Larry's high school North High and this is one of their fighting songs.
From the parade we descended on a member's local warehouse for hot dogs an
d hamburgers. Always good food found with this particular
member and his wife.He also d
rove the convertible with the Grand Marshall in the parade.
Did I mention the wind. If any of you remember, I've sorta complained about the total lack of wind in the last several states we've been in. WELL, Kansas has made up for it - just like I knew it would. Note the flags in this picture. Also, notice that there are no flowers present. Larry and I quickly placed them on the north side of the camper to shelter them from the gusty winds up to 30 to 35 MPH. They were looking pretty sad.
Today, Rebecca participated in the city's Corporate Challenge put on by Wichita Greater Sports organization. Her and her partner, Henry Torrente, played doubles. While they didn't fare well, they looked really good. They're also hoping their company (Learjet/Bombardier) will win the T=Shirt contest.
After the tennis competition, we all left to go eat at Red Robin. The "Balloon Man" made Austin an eye hat. Every little boy's dream. Photo taken on son-in-law's phone camera.
And for our last challenge of the day, Trina help me get my computer so it will download my checking accounts into Quicken. She held this expression thru most of the time. She will be going thru evasion driving skills for the next two days. It's another of those pass-this-test-or-fail-the-whole-academy type of events. They have to drive the whole course in under 3 minutes.Then we drove down to Derby to eat with a girlfriend and her husband. Diane and I graduated from high school together and have kept in touch. Another great Mexican meal. That made about 4 Mexican meals in a week's time.
Tomorrow is another full day but more about that later.

Loved your pumpkin! And your blog is always entertaining. I know what you are talking about when you say the camera adds 10 lbs. Dave once took a photo of my mother and me; I said something about the camera making me look fatter than my mother, and his reply was that I was fatter than my mother! We hope to see your mother on our way to Texas in January - probably around January 25. Do you think you might be there around that time? We start a new Yucatan caravan on Feb. 1 and will meet the group in Pharr, TX around Jan. 28. Where will you be around that time? Maybe we can rendezvous for a day. Your cousin Connie
