We went to Portland again on Saturday. We needed to drop off more Kirby stuff in Westbrook, pick up a car part in Westbrook, and pick up Dwane's suit pants at S&K. I also wanted to stop at a specialty store to pick up a birthday present for Michael. After Portland, we went to Auburn, were we ate lunch at Roy's Steakburgers. A train was going by as we were going in, so Caleb really enjoyed that stop. They have much longer trains in Auburn than they do in Rockland. After lunch, we went to Wal-Mart, then headed home. Dwane had to be at work at 4:00, and then he and Eben went to the Demolition Derby at the Union Fair. They got home just after 9:00 or so, and we watched the Nascar night race at Bristol. (They best one of the year.)

Chris Johnson was our guest speaker at church Sunday morning. He's very young. I would guess about my brother Bill's age. I really love his speaking. Caleb and I both had colds, so we missed lunch at my parents.

Eben ended up with a fever last night (Monday night). It was between 100 and 101. His only complaint was a little headache. I gave him some Motrin, and we headed into town to do a couple of quick errands, since I knew that I wouldn't be in town today. (Eben can't play with the Bingo Babes if he has even a hint of sickness.) Uncle Mike went with us to town.

Eben seems to be fine today. No fever. No complaints of anything. Eben's very odd when it comes to illnesses. It seems that he's sick for a total of one hour, and then it's all over with. Very rarely does it last more than a morning or afternoon. Maybe he's got a good immune system, and while Caleb and I had 4 days of cold, Eben just had a fever for an hour. I hope that's all it was. First day of school is tomorrow!
