Tonight, in a rare Wednesday game, I travel back to Elida for the second time this week, for a boys Middle School double header...meaning I will miss my baseball rules meeting in Van Wert. With last week snowed out, I will be getting a late start, but have plenty of time to get my requirements done. The state rules meeting is a different story...I need to get one in, but the area ones, except Piqua, have passed or were canceled due to snow...my ace in the hole is I can do it on~line. But this computer has so many firewalls, I cannot get logged in, so I may have to take it over on mom's computer, when I get the time.
Hal and his new bride Lisa, made it back to Ohio yesterday, after a few days extra in West Virginia...both are back at work. I am sure the short "Honeymoon" was just that, far too short...but at least both have good paying jobs to return to, as they begin their lives together.....
Saturday____
Saturday was the busy and most important day on the West Virginia trip....after morning coffee, the guys, at least 9 of us, headed south to Ghent, West Virginia, to the Winterplace Ski Hills. Not enough time for the guys that ski(I gave that up years ago) to do that activity, but plenty of time for a few cigars, a few beers, and "tubing" or snow boarding...I choose the beers, and cigars.
As I mentioned, at Elida tonight, Van Wert tomorrow, here in town Friday, for the JV portion of a key WBL contest, and a JV game at Allen East for Saturday afternoon. That will end a busy week. Next week basketball winds down, then we have the reception for the couple on the 19th...one final fling at basketball February 25th, then some down time before Baseball begins with scrimmages in Mid March.
back later

One of the tube runs, and Hemmelgarn celebrating his conquering the run...The location of the Ceremony, me and the boys about an hour before the vows were said, Sam the older brother being the best man for Hal, me and Patricia decked out for the first of our kids to get hitched.

Awesome! I know you're a proud papa. Congratulations to you and your wife for raisin' such good kids. And to your son on his wedding.
Thanks JW/FHB...a good time, with good kids, was had by all. The reception comes up the 19th, then they can concentrate on reality, and both appear well prepared for most of what can happen.
Pat,
Beautiful pictures - a beautiful wedding!
