Weekend Events

This weekend I came another year closer to 40… I received a filet knife (brand name: Masahiro – not the same characters though), knife skills book, and a remote control helicopter. We didn’t have the right batteries, so it wasn’t until Sunday (yesterday) that I finally got it flying.

On Sabbath we had our Christmas program. The planning for it was a bit haphazard and last-minute, but it all came together. We had brunch beforehand followed by the program. Here is a link (Windows Media Video) to the whole program. It’s 44MB in size, so be warned. You’ll also need at least 300Kbps to stream and view.

The program consisted of singing, music, stories, and a couple of acts by Mum’s the Word, a drama class/group in which Shelley participates.

Yesterday evening, the same drama group performed one of the acts, a Tableau, at the Bible Church’s Christmas program.

This evening, Shelley has a piano recital.

The weather continues to be cold and dry here. While the Northwest region farther south appears to be snowed in, we’re just cold. Temps have been in the single digits to the low teens for several days. We discovered that the church water had frozen on Sabbath morning. It took a little bit of time and effort to get that thawed out. Our water pipe also froze (where it always does once temps get and stay this low) on two mornings. It looks like we’ll get a little warmer – into the 20’s – after today. Break out the shorts!
