Yo-Yo Ma

Today was kind of like a yo-yo. We were glad that we didn't have to be anywhere early, so we got to sleep in. I made pancakes for breakfast and then we went swimming at the local community college. It was a lot of fun. I dove off the board a few times and forgot how much fun it is. The water was super chlorinated and Mary and my eyes have hurt the rest of the day.

We left for Holland around 4:45pm and picked Sarah up and then went to the mall. First we had dinner at Famous Dave's. Jeff liked his food, by chopped pork was ok. I am still tasting it from time to time. Sonny's is better I think. Then it was off to look for dresses. We didn't have a lot of time, but looked at Younkers, Macys, Sears and Penneys. Nothing really hit her fancy. She would like to wear emerald green. Most of the dresses we saw were pastels or neon dresses, just what she didn't want. Very little green. We are going to look at the bridal dress shop in town and maybe the consignment shop in Rockford. Norma? Would you like to make a prom dress for us? We have a little time. Prom is at the end of April. Jeff found some pants shirts and ties. Needless to say Mary was disappointed.

We are all home now and winding down. Mary is sleeping, Sarah is on her computer and phone, Jeff is on his computer, Matthew is cleaning his mask for paintball tomorrow. We need to get some paintballs. I am remembering that there is chime team, Sunday School, Playing for the adult choir and my music is missing, and bowling tomorrow night. I suppose the kids will have their own activities.

That is all for now. It is nice for the whole family to be home.

PS.. Just checked the paper. Our bowling team, Guys and Dolls, is in 2nd place! Hope we do well tomorrow.
