My sinuses\/ allergies are kicking my butt right now.\u00a0 I’m loopy on cold meds, my throat hurts, and my eyes itch.<\/p>\n
So, today I’m not going to pontificate a long time, but instead brag about my awesome nephew Luke.\u00a0 He is a senior in high school this year!\u00a0 He gets good grades.\u00a0 He makes friends easily and is great with small children and even babies.\u00a0 He is a very good looking kid.\u00a0 He stays out of trouble.\u00a0 He is the lead trumpet of the Waseca Marching Jays.<\/p>\n
The Marching Jays are collecting hardware all over Minnesota this fall.\u00a0 And I could not be more of a proud auntie.\u00a0 The photo attached to this blog shows a brass feature group that performs about the midpoint of the show.\u00a0 And yes, Luke IS the trumpet player at the very top of the stairs.\u00a0 \u00a0 A very handsome looking soloist indeed!<\/p>\n
I got to see the band in person a couple weeks ago and I’ve watched their field show online several times too, including live from South Dakota this weekend.\u00a0 And my heart swells with pride every time.\u00a0 If you want to watch them too, you can at\u00a0 https:\/\/youtu.be\/5vOWdDddODc<\/a> or just Google Waseca Marching Jays.<\/p>\n So, that’s it for this week.\u00a0 My nephew is cooler than your nephew and no, that is not up for debate \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My sinuses\/ allergies are kicking my butt right now.\u00a0 I’m loopy on cold meds, my throat hurts, and my eyes itch.
