Early September! Advance T-Shirt, Penny's Trip plus OPJ Robotics!

AA wears her Daddy's old XL T-shirts for nightshirts. She seems to like the over-sized, baggy cotton shirts, really who doesn't? While we were cleaning out our MB closet one day waiting on Hurricane Dorian, we bagged up many clothes to give away. AA took several t-shirts, this one was Advance 2006!

She still tries to hide from me when I want to take a picture!
Saturday, September 7th, AA had a Robotics OPJH challenge Reveal session with all Clay County Junior Highs.
Owen K. from OPE is on team with AA:
Over the same weekend, we went and enjoyed our usual River House Saturday early-evening happy hour, this time without Penny. She was in Pennsylvania attending an event honoring the 150 years since the 1869 Miners Disaster occurred. She spoke her ancestor's name and placed a flower on a wreath for all 110 victims. From Penny's email: The plaque that was dedicated to the 110 miners who died in the Avondale Mining Disaster in 1869. My great-great-grandfather John Harris was one of the miners. His name is in the upper right hand corner. The second picture is me putting daffodils (the national flower of Wales) on his grave. He is one of 13 of my family members buried in Washburn Street Welsh Cemetery in Scranton. The first picture is the wreath with 110 carnations placed at the opening of the Avondale Mine. It was a memorable and emotional trip.
