Here is another Lisa had these on a table

Here is her diploma

Here she is with a couple of her friends

Now for the cake. Really done well.

Now in a few more years we can do it all again when she graduates from collage. It was a nice day for here The rain held off till we were on our way home.  There was 139 in her class. The Embassy was full. We had told the ones that were invited to the graduation to just come for the open house. Paul and Linda and Lynn Ann came from Tipton. Alan and Julie came from Angola. They were camping up there. Sherryl and Violet didn't make it as Sherryl was sick yesterday and today.  Well it was a big day Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Graduation

Well Kristin is officially a graduate. It was a nice service. Took about 2 hrs Not bad. The only thing was it was at the Embassy and the light was so dim in there. After that we went to Flanagan's to eat with Gary's and Lisa's mom and dad. Good meal. Had leftovers today. Next Sat is the open house at church. Will get some pictures then.  Later Ron Thelma and Eli

Home

We are home for a couple of weeks. This Sunday Kristin has graduation and then the next Sat is an open house at Concordia church. Can;t believe she is graduating. Remember when she was little and we kept her here and she would sit and read and have the TV on. Read out loud. Wish I had video of that. We may go to a retiree rally in Ohio after that. Not sure yet. Opened the pool today. Now need some chemicals and sand for the filter. It has been warm here. Guess that's it for now.  Later Ron Thelma and Eli

Heading home tomorrow

The samboree is over. It was a good one. Tonight's entertainment was Sarah Getto. She is a great singer Born blind and taught herself to play. Graduated college with a music teaching degree. So we head home in the morning. The ground pretty well dried out today and part of yesterday. Don't think we will have any trouble getting out. Will take about 2-3  hours to get home.  Ready for bed. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Finally a dry day

At least today it is not raining. We have had rain here almost since we got here. It started Wed afternoon. Sure glad we started early from Tipton and got here in the morning. Now they are having trouble getting people parked. It is supposed to be dry for next few days. Sure hope so. Would like to get out of here on Mon Morning. We will go back to Ft Wayne. Thelma and I went to a Walmart this morning for cereal. Also got a couple of other things. Guess that's about it for today  Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Samboree

We are in Lebanon In for a samboree. We had nice weather on the way here but since about 6:00 we have been under severe storm warnings. It has been raining most of the time. Hard at times. Think it is about over. It is just after 11:00 here. Hope tomorrow brings better weather. I feel for the farmers as they are having a rough time. Talked to Gene B on Monday evening. They only have about 2 fields of corn in. I can't figure this weather out. Seems like a lot of tornado's. They showed Greensburg In this evening had a lot of damage there and other places. Well we will see what the morning brings.  Later all Ron Thelma and Eli
