Enjoyable 2021

Compared to last year, 2021 has been such a more enjoyable year for our family.

Some highlights so far:

- Illinois State Fair was back!  And we got our chops from the Illinois Pork Producers!  Plus rode the Sky Glider.

- family vacation, which started in Salt Lake City and ended in Denver;  there were many highlights -- too many to mention;  it was just so nice to travel.  And Estes Park is so freakin' beautiful!

- Covered Bridge Festival (just 2 weeks ago);  last year, we went over and hung-around Rockville at the antique stores;  this year, nearly everything was back, which was so awesome!  We spent most of the day in Bridgeton.

- overnight trip to Southern Illinois and 2 day trips to Western Illinois

- pair of concerts at The Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater

- Farm Progress Show (including Lee Brice concert)

- friends' wedding (outdoor)

- high school football under the Friday night lights;  season was shortened, but was great none-the-less

- college football (REALLY exciting game down at SIU-Carbondale)

- our first visit to Gordyville flea market

- volunteering at Red Cross and Salvation Army events

Still coming:

- college hockey game

- bellringing

Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
