I’m back in Elgin again. I drove here nearly a week ago to help my mom with her loss. It’s been interesting, to say the least. Larry’s family is kind and welcoming. They’ve included my mother in everything. They allowed me to say a few words on my mother’s behalf at the funeral.

Today we are going to a field near where Larry owned a home and shoot off his cannon. Kind of like a salute. I’ll post a video of it if I get a good one.

A little homesick, but not so much I’m feeling sorry for myself.
