Taken at Dollinger Family Farm in Channahon, IL. Fall is not complete without a trip to Dollinger’s to pick out a pumpkin, walk in and out of cool small buildings, visit the petting zoo, and, caramel apples!

Our youngest son is a freshman in high school and participates in the marching band. High School football games in our small town are big events! Rivalries, pride, marching band, cheerleaders, poms, Arrowettes, popcorn, and, lots of cheering fans make for a fun community experience! Go Indians!

title?

Just thought this was cool. Just can’t think of a title. Just saw the movie Gravity. A must see. Just wrote random copy for this post.

Gotta love the sights and sounds of high schools bands! I am always amazed at their commitment, musicianship and excellence. I love a parade!

Let’s Go…

Taken from our recent trip to Florida. Ormond by the Sea is a beautiful little town north of Daytona Beach. We had a wonderful day visiting family and enjoying the beach.

Bilbo: “I want to see mountains again, mountains Gandalf…” I feel like Bilbo, and, miss the beauty of Montana. Taken this past summer.
