Icicles Galore!











Today is a bright sunny day in Greenville and as I was driving home I noticed all the pretty icicles hanging from our house. Some small and delicate and others large on long extending from the roof to the ground, even intertwining with the bushes. Matt mentioned the possibility of another icicle garden.  We will see if he has the time to create one this year.  He has been super busy with school and the One Acts the past few months.

Speaking of SUPER, we didn't see much of the superbowl since we were bowling against..ourselves!  We had a bye week and had no opponents.  In order to win points we had to bowl BETTER than our team average.  Well we had such a "great" night we didn't win one point!  Our pre-bowling went much better for next week, so maybe those games will make up for our losses.  We shall see!  I watched a few commercials after the fact and thought they were pretty cool.  Still have to watch the flub up on the National Anthem.

Last Friday, Jeff and I attended dinner and a melodrama at the high school put on mostly by Greenville Public School teachers and superintendents.  There were others that are philathropists that were also involved in raising money for the fine arts for Greenville Schools. I helped serve dinner for the Saturday night crowd. There were over 100 people both nights!

The excitement doesn't end though.  Sarah comes home this weekend for several days. Saturday,  Sarah and I will attend the regional competition for the One Acts in Grand Rapids.  Sunday is Matthew's 17th birthday and we will all celebrate at Craig's Cruisers as a family.  We will miss Mary this year.  It is also that time of year to be filling our financial aid forms.   That is a lot of work especially for Jeff.

For now, I had better think about dinner.  There is council tonight, so I have to make sure what time dinner will be.  I am thinking it is a pizza night. Matthew is home from play practice and we are going to go out and "pick" icicles!
