Memorial Day weekend brought a house guest for Duane and I. My friend Colleen, formerly of Spring Grove where I was blessed with her students in my band, now resides in Colorado. I haven't been able to see her often but it is always good to catch up when we get the chance. She came in on Saturday and stayed with us until Tuesday. Although she'd never met Duane before, I'm pretty sure we got her approval!
Duane and I were in and out of the house during the day while Colleen attended a graduation and the associated festivities. During the evenings we watched a movie, shared pictures and stories, and chatted well into the night. On Monday I conducted the band at the Memorial Day ceremony in Spring Grove and she made the trip to join us. It seems to me that she was happy to see the band again, but I was a little disappointed in how few students actually realized she was there. They were in such a hurry to leave and enjoy their day out of school that they neglected to look around for friends. I'm sure she would have gotten many hugs if they had slowed down to enjoy the day in the park. Sorry about that Colleen.
I didn't have my camera with me, but I did steal a couple of pics off her facebook that show the personality we were blessed to spend our time with. It was a fun visit, and we very much look forward to next time.
Coming next....Brandi's new habit. (Hey, no kids...just a Duane and a Dog...so...you get to hear all about it!)
