First Snowfall of the Season


We woke to snow covered grass and trees this morning. It is pretty cold and I guess it won't warm up too much this week. Sarah will get more snow than we will since Holland gets a lot of lake effect snow. Matthew and Mary are glad to see snow again. There were really big flakes falling while we were at church. It was very pretty to watch.

We bowled twice today. Once after church and then at night during our regular time. We won't be able to bowl next week, so we prebowled with the other team this afternoon and we won all four. At least that is how it appears. Then tonight we played this weeks game and split 2 and 2. We will have to watch the papers to see what place we are in. I had a couple of good games this afternoon and didn't do as well tonight. I sure wish I was more consistent.

Chimes play very well this morning. We will have practices for all musical groups and sunday school this week. There will be a community service this Sunday for Thanksgiving and our orchestra will be playing and choir will be singing. I guess there are some other church's that will sing with us. No instrumentalists have called to be part of the orchestra for this service.

Matthew had basketball try outs this week and also interviews for crew on the next play. Mary has auditions on Wednesday for the same play. Can't remember that name of the One Act play at the moment. It is a comedy. Sarah texted me that one of her fish died today. Three continue to swim around. She said she had a good weekend. Watched some sporting events and also attended the rescheduled Nykerk Cup, a fine arts competition, between even year and odd year students, Freshman and Sophomores. We are pleased to report that the even year, freshman, won the competition this year. Yay! I am sure if you are interested, you can click on Hope College and read more about it.

Well, I think that sums up the remainder of the weekend news and a taste of what this week holds for us. I work Mon, Tues and Fri this week. Maybe Saturday too. Have a good one!
