Grandchildren & Drum Corp

Blue Devils at DCI 2008Image by Scutter via FlickrWe got to see and meet up with one of our grandchildren, Kyle, last night and it was a really great time. He is part of the support staff with the Blue Devils B Corp from Concord, CA. They were in Indianapolis for the Drum Corp International (DCI) championships. 

With his schedule we thought we would only see Kyle for a short time however we were allowed spend a few hours with him and it was really great. We also got to see the corp practice and then do a complete run through of their show. 

The show was very good, we were impressed. We have been around Drum Corp since our son's first involvement in 1981 and always enjoy a great performance and this was one. 

Note: Blue Devils B Corp won the DCI Open Finals this afternoon with a 97.5. Again WOW! Tonight the Blue Devils A Corp will be going after the World Finals and we will be rooting for them. 

Next year Kyle will be marching with the Blue Devils  B Corp and we will be trying to see all the shows we can, finals will be one of them. It is a wonderful activity and I can see the effect on 

It was  a great time with our grandchild and I don't think it gets much better than this.

First Post

Hi I am Walter and Pat is sitting beside me. She is not aware that I am starting this blog however she will soon discover this. I have started this blog to track what we do. Our life, our time and our condo. It will not be an intimate view of our lives but will bring out those things that we do for living and for fun.

We love the place that we live, the people we know and the places we go. I have started this to be a little more public with out lives, now I have to get Pat to write also.

We have been married 48 years and have been together for over 51 years, that is a long time. We love each other and as I said where we live. We have changes that we would like to make to our condo and we will track that here.

Our son lives in California with his family and we live in Ohio. If I can talk them into it perhaps he or Katy will blog sometime also. I would love to get the kids (the grandchildren) blogging but we will have to wait and see about that.

Ok for the first entry. Let's see how this goes.
