Is this Normal?

When I grew up near, and went to college in, a town called Normal the name seemed, well, "normal". After moving away for 30 years and being all over the country seeing other towns named Lexington, Bloomington, and Carrollton but no others named Normal I am beginning to realize the name Normal may not be normal after all. Anyway that's where we are, Normal, Illinois, where I grew up and went to school.
From Detroit we went to Shipshewana, Indiana. Shipshewana is Amish country famous for Amish people riding their horse drawn carriages down the country roads, a big flea market and an antique auction on Wednesday with several auctioneers calling at the same time. We were their Monday and Tuesday and made it to the flea market. Our RV was built a short distance from here so we have been to Shipshewana a few times before while our house was being built and during some repair trips to the factory after that.
We then went a few hours south to the farm of my aunt Maralee and uncle Merritt "Dude" Hardt in Flora, Indiana. We parked right at their machine shed and had a great visit for a couple of days. When we got ready to leave we found the bedroom slide power head had sheared a shaft. I had to order a new one and it is going to be next week before it arrives so we left the house there and went on to Normal, Illinois where we are now staying with my step mother Bonnie. Friday Tonya saw the eye doctor about her Glaucoma and found that after a year and a half her eye pressure is finally down to where they were trying to get it.
My brother Jeff has been having some trouble with pain in his arm that has kept him from working or playing the guitar for the last three months. The problem is with vertebrae in his neck which doctors think they can fix with three months of intense therapy. He doesn't have health insurance so his friends and fans (he is the best "rocker" lead guitar player in the area and has lots of fans) were having a benefit for him all day yesterday. He didn't know we were coming to town so when we showed up he was really surprised. There was a motorcycle Poker Run, band, food, 50/50 drawings, door prizes, and an auction of lots of donated items. All of that along with a good turnout meant it was a big success. One of the main money raisers was a raffle for a Les Paul guitar, $1,000 value. The owner of the bar won the raffle and immediately gave the guitar to Jeff with the stipulation that he play at the bar when he recovered. We'll be here a couple of more days visiting friends and family.
