Thank you Veterans!

The second grade classes at Wayside Elementary School put on a musical show in honor of our Nation's veteran yesterday afternoon.  It was a great excuse to take a half day of vacation!  I was in Ponca all morning and then drove back to meet Derek for lunch at Frank and Lola's restaurant (I had their honey pecan chicken salad sandwich- total yum! and Derek their green chile cheeseburger of course!).  Then we dropped off the Outback for servicing so it is ready for our trip to Rockville, IN over Thanksgiving and headed over to Zach's school.  Here are some highlights!
