Ella had her senior night for the marching band (I forgot my camera). It was the last march at the last home football game before she turns her attention to the pep band Friday nights. Grace was running around the stadium with her friends as the team slaughtered a cross town rival. Ella and Amy hit the road early on Saturday morning to make a Lacrosse tournament south of the Twin Cities, pounding out the miles in the predawn darkness and leaving Merrick, Grace and I home alone for the weekend. Grace had plans to hang out with a friend most of the time, with a sleep over, bowling and Sunday corn maze so it our pack was quickly down to Merrick, the dogs and I. Merrick and I laughed a bit about the idea that it was only the second time that this particular combination had occurred, they last time also involved all the girls in the Twin Cities. He and I hit a burger place were for dinner and then played the strings a little bit when we got home. He had been picking up the guitar in the basement and I gave him a brief instruction in tab reading...thus bestowing all of my guitar knowledge on him. We shared the couch and watched some Peaky Blinders before I called it a night. Sunday morning(ish) we grabbed the dogs and headed to Oconto to scout around for plan B deer stands and hoped to see a squirrel or grouse. Hazel ran off, but eventually came back and we decided not to push our luck in the dense woods that wasn't going to yield a good deer stand any ways. The Packers were playing on the radio as we made our way south for a quick dog wash and a malt/fry combo. All in all a pretty good weekend.
