Go Fondy

Tonight Elle played in the pep band for the Fondy vs. Stevens Point hockey quarter-final in Madison. Fondy won 6-3 according to the radio podcast. She'll be home around 9:30...have to catch the 'scoop' then. By the way, what lovely 50-something is having a birthday in 2 days? My lovely older sister. I love to say that:) I'm heading to Manty on the weekend, so I hope for some good visiting and nice photos.
