Thawing and such

The temps have warmed up into the 40s today with mostly cloudy skies. All the snow is quickly thawing and the streets are quite mucky and messy. The snowman has fallen and is now lying on the ground. A deer stopped by to eat away the nose (carrot). Those who have lived here say that it is unusual in recent years to see so much snow so soon in the fall. It was nice while it lasted.

I spent all day inside working on the sermon for tomorrow and preparing for Sabbath School. The sermon will be taken from Philippians 3:1 - 4:1 where Paul seems to be talking about where our focus should be.

If everything goes well, Elise could be working much earlier than we originally anticipated. She spent most of the day at the hospital yesterday, undergoing exams and orientation for the hospital to fulfill the clinical portion of the refresher class.

Shelley went to her second piano lesson today. The teacher has a new challenge: She's never had any student as advanced as Shelley. Shelley has discovered ragtime, blues, and jazz and enjoys these musical styles.

Tomorrow evening, the Herbrandsons have invited us and another family over for a harvest party. Around here, there is a lot more of getting together with other families since there just isn't a whole lot in the way of other forms of entertainment or recreation.
