This is the wrap up of the last couple weeks.  It appears that I haven’t had an entry in ~10 days.

Memorial Day weekend was pretty standard.  Hung out on Friday.  Saturday went to Darren’s, then to Toby’s.  Both were fun.  Sunday all the family went to Dennis and Trudy’s in New Minden for a fish fry.  Monday I pretty much sat around all day.

As the week went on, I got ready for two things that were going on this past weekend.

1. The Shriner’s Parade
2. My first yard sale

The Shriner’s parade is one that we always do with club.  This year was a little different, however, because there was a competition.  We opted for the patriotic theme.  We did a flag them for the float and played a sweet rock cover of America the Beautiful (arranged by yours truly).  We ended up getting 2nd. Not as good as first, but I’m not really all that surprised because the float itself wasn’t all that great.  We only do well because of our energy and the fact we have a whole band on a trailer.   There was a bit of concern with the weather that night.  It held out, but only until the way back to Fischers when it started raining and hailing pretty bad.  We pulled into a band overhang, and then drove back to get our cars.  It worked out fine.  Parades are a lot of work but they are so much fun.  Playing to so many people is great.

Saturday morning was my first yard sale.  I had some of my stuff and my parents had a bunch of stuff, too.  My dad sold his rider mower.  We sold most everything.  Some stuff didn’t sell.  I’ll probably just donate it to the Zion yard sale in a couple of weeks.

Barb was off the last couple of days at work, so we’ve been pulling extra duty to cover.  Yesterday wasn’t so bad, but today was really busy and tomorrow will be pretty busy, too.
