Last Weekend


Last week was Homecoming week here. Their theme was Rockin Through the Ages. They got quite a kick out of dressing in the 60's 70's and 80's styles. Mckendrie's High School Band has a new advisor this year who helped them start a new era. It has been 25 years or more since the band put on uniforms and marched complete with formations at half time for a football game. These kids have worked so hard practicing at 6:30 in the morning 2 to 3 mornings a week and it really paid off!! They looked fantastic!! It was awesome to see. Only one little faux pas' while they were marching off the field McKendrie's drum set fell off ! She got that deer in the headlights look very briefly then picked them up and bowed to the audience. Pretty funny stuff!

Monday due to budget cuts we had the day off from school. Russ is off on Mondays as well so we headed out west to see if we could find some pine nuts. As you can see I found a few NUTS among the trees but look at what we also found. Oh if it just would have been the right season!!(that what Russ and








McKendrie were saying!
