Busy and rainy day here. We started out this morning in the main event hall setting up the area for the silent auction while another team worked on filling and organizing the welcome bags.
While we worked and throughout the rest of the day we heard that approximately 150 more Alliance coaches arrived here at the fairgrounds.
We had to leave a bit early as we drove to Three Rivers MI and met daughter Jennifer, son-in-law James and granddaughter Lindsey for lunch. Lindz was at a volleyball tournament the first time we met with Jennifer and the second time she was studying for her finals. The good news is she nearly aced both her Spanish and Physics test! Great job, Lindz! Unfortunately we were so busy talking none of us thought to get a picture.
Later we were surprised by a dear friend with a 50th anniversary celebration. Our anniversary was 30 March and we left on this trip the next day on 1 Apr! So awesome! The cake and cookies were delicious!
Tomorrow more setup starting at 0800 hrs, more Alliance coaches will roll in, more friends will be reunited and new friends will be made!
Most importantly tomorrow is Memorial Day. It is a time to pause and reflect as a Nation. We will remember and honor all of our service men and women that have given the ultimate sacrifice serving in our military, My flag will fly at half staff from sunrise until noon.
