Snow day #1~ 2009-2010

The best news is that Matthew's xray looked good. The bone is healing and absorbing the broken piece. No surgery needed so he is now in a hard cast. He chose black in case he works any shows during the next 3 weeks. It was an anxious time without the splint on since he didn't want anythning to move. Doing well now and no appointments for 3 weeks.

Mary got a "back up dress" at a consignment store in case the one she ordered doesn't arrive. It is a simple long sleeved velvet black dress. We also ate at Jimmy's Pub and Grub in Belding (formerly Cory's). My sandwich was good and the homemade ranch is the best anywhere! Mary starts working there on Friday, bussing tables.

We have been waiting for the second round of snow all evening long. Still not much happening. School just might be open tomorrow. Guess it depends what happens during the night. Sarah reports very cold, windy and snowy conditions in Holland. They get lots of lake effect snow.

Tonight was supposed to be the preschool Christmas pageant. The weather predictions scared the entire W Michigan community. Everything was cancelled or postponed. The preschool service will be on Sunday now, and I will be playing the piano for it, as the original player is not available. I will also be playing for the Sunday School Christmas Program that morning.

Tomorrow I go to the doctor for my sore feet again. They have really been hurting. It might be time for some cortisone. Yikes! With the potential of bad weather, the doctor called today and said to watch for closings. They travel here from Grand Rapids each Thursday. I could have to reschedule. Mary has school tomorrow night which is scary too, since she doesn't have a lot of snow driving experience.

Jeff goes to Dearborn on Friday and Saturday for a meeting. Mary goes to Ann Arbor on Saturday and Sunday for the Christmas Party. The Messiah will be performed at the GHS theater Saturday evening and we bowl for position on Sunday. When will I get some shopping done??? Time keeps on ticking away!

Better get some sleep.
