After Thanksgiving Events



Since we no longer have the Chief to entertain us, those in power have been providing some interesting half time entertainment for ILLINI basketball games.  At the IL/GA Tech game Dan Menendez made quite an impression on us playing his keyboard with balls that he was juggling.  Amazing stuff.

He played "When you Wish Upon a Star" and "Music Box Dancer".

The Chief appeared during the singing of the Alma Mater.

Everyone gets excited when the chief is in the house.

E J Water Christmas Party at the Thelma Keller Convention Center in Effingham.  The convention center is always beautifully decorated for the Holiday Season, and this year was no exception.

The Ring Time Quartet entertained us with their barbershop harmonies.

Jerry received a gift card during the drawing.

Another beautiful display.
These photos were taken with my iPhone as I still have not found my camera.  I have checked every place that I visited last weekend and have placed an ad in the Lost and Found of our local paper.  To the person who may have found it:  Merry Christmas!  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  I have another one ordered and should be delivered tomorrow.  Merry Christmas to me!
