Outdoor Entertainment

We had a good time on Friday - swimming, pizza, and an outdoor movie!  The old pinochle gang and families were invited for the activities.  My parents and Chelan's parents are part of a group that gets together monthly to play cards - well, used to play cards.  I don't think they actually get around to playing anymore!  I remember looking forward to pinochle nights as a little girl because it meant good food and lots of playing - even though I was the only girl my age.  I think the boys might have been forced to play with me sometimes (from what I've heard)!  Anyway, this was a fun little reunion!

Matt is assembling the movie screen - he figured out how to build
this and has put it up several times for outdoor movies
in Buhler, where they live.  This was such a treat!

Cale took care of popcorn for everyone - they found
this machine in the dumpster behind the school
and cleaned it up - very handy for a movie night!
The Feature Presentation - "Madagascar II or III" (it's been so long I
can't remember)!

Choosing Trust Over Fear

I have struggled with writing about the shooting in Hesston - in fact, I wasn't going to post anything about it.  However, for the sake of memories, I decided I should at least touch on it.  It does deserve a place. It just hit so close to home - particularly since Doug was directly involved.  Honestly, I sometimes feel guilty for struggling with this tragedy.  I wasn't there, I didn't lose anyone close to me, and, although I know a few people who work there, I didn't know any of the victims.  And I get to move on with my life with little disruption.  I feel like I am on the outside looking in.   But I guess that's okay.  I didn't have to be directly involved for this to touch me.  My heart is sad for the families of those who died, for those who were injured, for those who witnessed it, for my brother-in-law who will probably replay images over and over, for my sister and my niece and nephew who might sometimes wonder "what if?", for th...

NCAA Division 1 Volleyball Championships

Chelan and I took Delaney to Kansas City for the championship game of the NCAA Volleyball Tournament - a birthday gift given to her in August. What a cool experience! From posing with the trophy to testing her vertical (6th place for all girls who tried!), to watching the match between Texas A&M and Kentucky, to a real life reindeer in the arena, we had a fun day!

Merry Christmas!

                                          Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning Jesus, to Thee be glory given Word of the Father Now in flesh appearing O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him O come, let us adore Him Christ the Lord! We enjoyed a very relaxing (and strangely warm) Christmas!  The church Christmas Eve program was back in-person (although the kids had recorded their parts early), and we were back at my parents' house afterwards - much different than last year when we met via Zoom.  The only strange thing this year was the weather - mid-70s on Christmas Eve and just slightly cooler on Christmas Day.  We actually ate our lunch outside on Christmas Eve!  We waited until the 28th to celebrate with Chelan's side of the family - minus the CA crew.  Christmas Eve lunch on the deck! gift cards are hard to get to when they are trap...
