Wild and Wet Weekend
As posted before, last Friday, my wife and I got to go on one of our rare date nights *without* the kids. We went to a local steakhouse where the food was just awesome. KC Strip cooked to perfection. That doesn't happen too often it seems. Then we stopped by Dairy Queen for just a small hot fudge sundae. The desserts in fancy restaurants are way too expensive, plus we were already pretty stuffed as it was and just wanted something small to top it off. Then we headed to the theatre to see a play entitled, "The Family That Nobody Wanted." Based on a true story, it's about a family that adopted 12 children from various ethnic backgrounds back in the 50's when that was looked down upon. They did a very good job with the play.
Saturday, it rained. And rained. And rained some more. It rained ALL day! My son had a basketball game in the morning, but since our daughter hasn't been feeling too good, I stayed home with her to keep her out of the damp weather so she wouldn't get any worse. Didn't really do a whole lot that day.
Sunday, after church, my son had to play in a "surprise" basketball game. We found out Friday when he brought home a tourney schedule that the first round was on Sunday. This game wasn't on the schedule they provided at the beginning of the year, so it was a little bit of a surprise. Plus, it was held in a town 25 miles away! They won their game, barely... (by just one point!) so there were going to have to play again later in the afternoon. We didn't stick around for the second game as there was a special event for the kids at church that night and we didn't want to hang around town for four hours. My daughter started to get her low fever symptoms again when we got home, so I stayed home with her while my wife and son went to church. Thankfully, she started feeling better by bedtime. Hopefully she's getting over it.
Today I went to a retirement reception for a guy that has worked here where I work for 29 years. As per tradition, they cut off his tie. It was kind of neat to see all the other retirees that had "gone on before" and was back to help celebrate. Congrats Roger B.!
Blessings!
