I don't know what else to say about the Elmores. I just sure do wish they could get to feeling better and am sorry they couldn't enjoy their holiday more. Here in 2011, we have had a very busy weekend but also one that has been a lot of fun. Caleb and I went to the Coke 600 NASCAR race yesterday in Charlotte, NC and had a blast, even though it was VERY hot. We had a great time together. We came home this morning and then went to a Salem Red Sox baseball game and sat in a suite. We went with Mom, some of the kids friends and some co-workers. It was fun. We left early and found out later that Salem won in bottom of 9th with a grand slam! Then the kids went to a William Byrd varsity boys soccer game where Byrd won 7-0 in the state playoffs!
On a sadder note: Roanoke has made national news today, on CNN's website. A Franklin County sheriff's deputy killed his ex-wife in Roanoke then shot a state trooper on I-81 before being shot himself several times by other troopers. The deputy/suspect is not expected to live.

Well, Bonnie and Mary are both still not feeling well. I still say Mary is pregnant, I think. At least they took my advice from the other day and they all went to the theater, except Norman, and they seemed to have had a good time. On this Memorial Day weekend in 2011, we are action packed. We as a family went out to eat last night and bought clothes for our upcoming cruise to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Today I officiated a wedding at Smith Mountain Lake. It was pretty. Beth accompanied me. Then Caleb and I and Ben Nicely watched the UEFA Champions league soccer game on TV. Barcelona beat Manchester United 3-1. Caleb was disappointed. Tomorrow we have church and then Caleb and I are going to Charlotte, NC for the Coke 600 NASCAR race. Then on Monday, we are all going to a Salem Red Sox baseball game in one of the VIP suites and then possibly to see William Byrd varsity boys play in a regional play-off soccer game...whew...but a lot of fun!

I haven't made any comments in a really long time because we have been really busy, but today was one of those times when Bonnie writes about something from history that I just find so fascinating. Apparently May 21, 1927 is when Lindenburg landed in Paris after a solo, non-stop flight across the Atlantic, at first at the time. That's pretty cool. I have read about that flight, but when your great-grandfather writes about it in his diary, it just kind of makes it more real. I will have to say that I am noticing a different tone in this diary it seems than in 1916. I am not sure if it has to do with the Great Depression that is approaching. But Bonnie seems to be very down, a lot. He writes a lot about not feeling well and being despondent. I think he needs to go to the theater again!
Here in 2011, yesterday passed without the world coming to an end. Harold Cummings had predicted that the world would end yesterday as Jesus would return. Obviously it didn't happen and lots of people are scoffing at him and his followers, me included somewhat. However, we should also remember that Jesus IS coming back one day we just don't know when and we should be ready!
