A Quick Visit & Schools Rule

Brett came home last night for a quick visit on his way to Michigan.  I was home sick today with allergy issues, but once I was able to get up and get moving Brett and I went to a late lunch at the root beer stand.  We discussed a lot of political happenings in the world and in the state of Indiana.  We then decided to tour the area to see what political signs were out and about.  We were surprised that there were very few.  Most were for county council or county commissioners.  The biggest surprise to both of us, however, were the amount of Kip Tom signs.  He is running in district 3 for the House and we are district 2, Jackie Walorski territory.  We thought that was strange.  He must have a lot of friends in the area that want to get his name out even though they cannot vote for him.

Once Doug got home from work and Cam from piano we took Brett to the Channel Marker for dinner.  There were several waitresses there that had graduated with Brett that greeted him.   We all enjoyed the conversation around the table.  Cam filled us in on his day at Bethany Christian.  It started at 4:30 this morning when he and Doug got up for Cam's participation in Schools Rule at Bethany.  All students were invited to be there at 5:15 to be part of the taping of the Schools Rule segment on WNDU.  Students who arrived early were treated to donut holes while they waited to be on television.  I recorded the event and absolutely loved it.  The school was highlighted and praised for its devotion to the arts and the eloquence of the student speakers.  I did see Cameron in one of the segments and it looked like he was having a lot of fun.  After the event they all received a pancake breakfast and Cam told us tonight that his class won a pizza party for having the highest percentage of students in attendance.  Since over 80% of all of the students came to the event the high schoolers even got to dye the principal's hair blue.

After dinner we returned home so that Brett could catch up with Cal and Meg before he headed to Michigan.  It was definitely nice to see him.  Only three weeks are left until graduation.  That should be a great weekend as well.
