It was a spectacular Sunday in September here in central IL.......wow! The weather could not be more perfect with low 70's, lots of sunshine and a gentle breeze.
After breakfast and one more short walk in the park by Luke and Grandpa, we packed up Luke's stuff and drove to the Busy Corner to pick up a Triple Berry pie and off we went. The trip thru the country was just delightful checking the crops and enjoying those deep blue skies. Won't be long till the fall harvest begins. While some corn and bean fields look "ready to go", others are
still pretty green
We arrived at Dave and Judy's (Luke's grandparents) around 11. Grandpa Dave took Luke for a tractor ride, he fed the chickens and just ran and ran. After lunch we said our good-byes to our little man and he went down for his long nap. We 4 enjoyed delicious BLT's and watermelon, followed by the pie and ice cream....
Had a good visit and then on our way....sure have happy memories of our 6 days with Luke.
In the car with his I-pad off to see Nana and Grandpa Dave
Love this tractor
Dave is remodeling their living room - Luke is showing Grandpa the tall tower that Grandpa Dave built for him (and... made all the blocks)
Lunch time!
Back to Daisy at 4:15 and started packing - the Nomads are going "on the road again" starting tomorrow afternoon heading to Annapolis to winterize Catrina; Virginia Beach next weekend to see Ryan and the Blues (it will be 4 weeks since Kansas City - we definitely need a "Blue Angel" fix) and finally to NC to see Blair and the boys! We tidied up Daisy, vacuumed and "thought' we had gathered all of Luke's belongings, but found a little car....we'll give it to him at Thanksgiving.
Walked around the park - beautiful evening
Liam and Connor ended their fall baseball games today - Liam went 4 for 4 in a 10-4 victory!
Hockey season....bring it on!
Just got this photo from our good friends, Paul and Kathy in McKinney, TX who went to the Fort Worth air show yesterday with their daughter, Elizabeth and family. After the show, they had their picture taken with the team AND Jet #6.....we've never had that (usually #1)! Awesome!
