On Saturday, Mike and I sang with the Akron Derbytown Chorus. We did two songs, California Here I Come and Kentucky Babe. With a proper bit of humility, I think that we did well. We finished 6th out of 9 choruses. We have sometimes scored in the "C" (70-79) range in recent years. This year, in some of the judging categories, we got "B" range scores. That's pretty good for a chorus that sings more for fun than for competition.
Kris and Mark drove to Lima from Cincinnati in the afternoon and so we had a great family day. Mark and Kris gave us more details about their trip to Greece as we reviewed their online pictures. We went to the Kewpee diner for lunch. This Lima landmark serves great burgers and it was a short walk from our hotel. As you can see, Bill is left out of the photograph again. Wait!! He's on the roof and we can't get him down. After a brief bit of chorus singing at The Lima Mall, we returned to Greece. The pictures and background information made us feel like we had been on the trip, sort of. Now that Sue and I have passports, maybe we can take a trip out of the country sometime soon.
For dinner, we visited another Lima attraction. The Old Barn Out Back restaurant. Saturday night features the 5-meat buffet and many, many other food items. Needless to say, we were not hungry when we left.
After dinner, the younger couples left for their homes. Sue and I stayed one more night in Lima, had a pleasant, sunny drive home on Sunday, and this morning went to Heavenly Hounds Hotel and Spa and picked up Wickett.
So after a wonderful weekend of family and song, all participants are safely home and ready for the new week.
