Jan is home, YEAH !!!!!
I left Elkhart about 12:30 pm to pick Jan up at Chicago Midway from her 3 pm flight. By 3:30 we had her bag and were on our way home. A smooth trip both ways.
And it sure is great to have my sweetie back home.
Arriving at the RV park about 5:45 pm Jan was greeted by big hugs from Nick and Terry.
About 15 minutes later we headed out for dinner with Nick and Terry, Mike and Elaine Loscher, and Jan and I, at Mancino’s Pizza.
Whoops.
Mancino’s is not open on Sunday. Bummer!
So it was back over to Bob Evans right near the park. And we had a great time, great food, great conversation, and our always great waiter, Michael, who caterers to our every need, and still keeps a smile on his face.
Jan brought back a bunch of Landon photos so here goes.
Here’s new mom Brandi about 30 minutes after Landon was born.
Here’s Piper holding Landon with the proud parents looking on.
And here, too. I think this is another day. 
And, of course, here’s Grandmother Jan with Landon.
And here’s Grandmother Sonja with her new grandson. 
And another one of Miss Piper.
Jan took a lot of photos that I’m still going through, so more later.
And now for something completely different.
When we got back from Chicago this afternoon, I noticed a new rig parked back behind Nick’s rig and ours.
And I couldn’t help notice the pair of really BIG girl panties hanging from the wipers.
After some debate, a bunch of us just had to find out what the story was behind the panties. And a big behind it would be, too.
But, amazingly, the gentleman in the rig had a perfectly rational explanation.
He said that like Prince Charming was looking for someone to fit the glass slipper, he was looking for someone to fill these panties.
OOOOKKKK !
That makes sense, but I’m not sure Nick and I TOGETHER could fill those.
But good luck with that. And let us know how it goes.

Piper and Landon
Did the final checkout on Nick’s tail lights and everything’s working now. It’s about time. At least I’m sure that’s what Nick is saying.
Around 2 pm I headed to do the final final pass trying to squeeze out a few more door prizes out of local restaurants, with a little luck, but not much.
I’ve got one more pizza place to stop by tomorrow on my way to Chicago to pick up Jan at Midway International. Hopefully they’ll come thru.
Jan should be in at 2 pm tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully it will be more on time than when Jan left here last Thursday. The flight was 75 minutes late leaving Chicago, so I’m going to take plenty of reading materials just in case.
About 5 pm Nick and Terry, Mac McCoy, the Fire Guy, and his lady friend Cheryl, Mike and Elaine Loscher, and I went over to El Maguey, our favorite local Mexican restaurant, and as usual, spent more time talking than eating. Although you wouldn’t know it by looking at Nick and I.
I talked to Jan about 8:45 tonight. She was packing, getting ready to fly out tomorrow. These 10 days are the longest we’ve been apart since the early 80’s when I was working Shuttle Missions out at White Sands. I’m not good at doing the bachelor thing anymore.
Here’s the latest Landon photo, shown here being held by his aunt, our 16 year-old (soon to be 17, she will tell you) granddaughter Piper.
Two real sweeties.
The park is really filling up with the Rally starting Monday. It’ seems like most people are already here.
Here’s the park today.
And here it is a few weeks ago.
Today…
And a few weeks ago.
Big difference!
More tomorrow…
