The Wilhelm Family: Hunting Season Has Begun

The Wilhelm's are not hunters, but Matthew enjoyed the day to sleep in. No school on opening day of "gun" hunting. It certainly was still a busy day! I worked for my Marcella, my nurse buddy, who was out hunting today and got a buck and a doe! Every year she has success on day #1. Matthew worked at the childcare center and then had dress rehearsal this evening. Jeff worked at church then did a lot of work at the house. The carpets got cleaned, gutter repair, readying the snow blower and vacuumed the whole place! What a man! So grateful for all he does.

Tonight was press review for the high school's musical, Grease. It went pretty well. Looking forward to the performances at the end of the week. I will be selling tickets, both on Friday and Saturday. I love that job. Speaking of jobs, I got a message from the nurse scheduler from my new job. I will be in touch with her in the next few days to finalize my orientation schedule. I am getting pretty excited about my new adventure.

Our bathroom is almost finished! Just a few final touches. It has sure been a long time, since the end of September. It was totally worth doing the project though since the water pressure is so much better! We have yet to try out the heated floor. The electrician is coming next week to show us how to work the thermostat. I will take pictures when everything is back in place.

We ordered Matthew's senior pictures on Monday. The good news is that there is no deadline to order, so I will be bringing the proof book to Florida in December for everyone to see. If there is something someone wants to order, we can do it at the first of the new year.

Matthew worked hard outside last Sunday after church.He trimmed the bushes, cut back a tree, raked leaves and cut the grass. He has everything looking great! Our bowling team took three points on Sunday evening, but it was quite a struggle. The lanes we were bowling on kept malfunctioning, we were the last team to finish our games. My scores were mediocre, but Jeff had a big 204! Glad we were able to keep the games close and pull off a good result.

I had a wonderful time in Ann Arbor last Saturday. Pizza with Mary at the Pizza House, then we spent time visiting in her dorm room before the concert. The concert was very good as always, worth the drive there and back. We will be going back on December 11th for Mary's concert. In addition to the women's glee club concert, Mary will be playing her cello with her chamber quartet and the mixed barbershop quartet group Mary and Brandon formed at the the beginning of the year should be performing too! How exciting!

Looking ahead for the rest of the week:
