Late September means one thing for the folks in Bluffton, Indiana...Street Fair! Jeff and I drove home to Bluffton on Friday night to be ready for a dose of fun at the 100th Street Fair. We walked the midway, connected with old friends, and had our share of fair food. On Saturday night we met up with friends from high school and their children. This weeks photos shows a sweet moment I captured of my friends' children. These boys not only understand the fair spirit of friendship and food, but also the important lessons of sharing. I also must add that these two boys had only met once before two years ago. Enjoy.

Friends and family,

It was a busy week of recruiting in West Lafayette last week. We took a quick break on Wednesday afternoon to visit Discount Den to get one of their famous Den Pops. Way too much soda for one serving and terribly environmentally unfriendly with the styrofoam container, but it is still a Purdue classic.

After returning home to Peoria, I had a fun filled weekend with the family. We spent Sunday afternoon and evening celebrating Uncle Mel's 90th Birthday. What a fun reason to celebrate! And his 102 yr old cousin came to the party too!

Enjoy!

Friends,

Yet again this harvest, I find myself trekking East to Indiana. This weekend I visited three Universities...U of I with Jeff for a football game, Purdue for recruiting, and Wabash to visit Jordan. I love the drive especially during this time of year. Bright days with the promise of fall. It was a special weekend with sweet moments from each stop on my journey.

Enjoy the journey.

Ahhh, Long weekend, how I love thee! Full of cook-outs, eating out, work outs and hanging out. All of this fun, and the only photo I have to show for my weekend is Jeff toiling away on Labor Day to paint the entrance to the house. It looks lovely and clean.

And we did move an organ into the house...I'm sure it will somehow manifest itself into an upcoming update. Stay tuned!
