Made It to Indianapolis, IN

This bed was a very welcome sight to two weary
travelers who had spent eight hours making their way from
Waukegan, IL (a suburb of Chicago) to Indianapolis, Indiana.

Overnight we had 5-7 inches of rain that flooded interstates
and local roads. Route 94 was closed and we spent over an hour
retracing our steps to finally make it to some sunshine
and temperatures in the upper 80's for the first time in weeks.
We welcomed Indianapolis with open arms, knowing we would
have a nice place to lay our little heads at the end of the day.

Elsie Stuhler, my former choir librarian and "adopted Mom",
is not fond of having her picture taken. I was able to steal this
great photo of her holding her great grandson, Will Comerford.
Elsie sends warm greetings to all at Holy Cross.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that is me holding Will.
He looks just like his Dad, Billy Comerford, at his age.
Will does have his Mom's nose. A sweet little man.

Doesn't Bill look comfortable holding the baby?
By the way, we were at Linda and Tim's house for dinner.
Elsie's daughter and son-in-law were gracious enough to open
their house to a number of young people who were there to
see the motorcycle races at the Speedway this weekend.
Add the two of us to the mix, and we had a "full house" for dinner.

At five years, Grace is quite adorable and a joy to be around.
