Lots of good things

A whole week with no snow!!  On Sunday we had rain almost all day long, a cold and dreary rain.  I was trying to decide if I actually wished it were snow instead!  On Monday it was clear and warmer, but SO windy!  Today was a gorgeous day in the low fifties and sunshine!  I enjoyed another walk this afternoon and sitting on the porch for a while afterward. 

Yesterday morning I was in the kitchen making Dick's omelet and suddenly spied this!

When Dick came to the kitchen I said, "Look out that window!"  He stood there looking at our vehicles and wondered what he was supposed to see.  I couldn't believe it!

On Saturday I got some cleaning done.  Dick vacuumed our ceiling lights and fans.  When he stood on my side of the bed he said, "I'm standing on your memory."  (Yes, we have a memory foam mattress, haha!)  

On Sunday after our two church services I worked on scanning old pictures most of the day since it was so dreary outside.  So much fun!  I'll just share this one here - some of the Witmer sisters in 1964: Betty, Doris, Barb, and me.  Not sure why I didn't have a cute purse.

I was so blessed on Monday when our son in law George sent me a link to their school newsletter in which the track team was featured.  I am so very proud of Lisa!  And of course of Sophie too.  I copied two of the paragraphs that were my favorites:

“CCHS Track: Breaking Records Right Out of the Gate”

 

The CCHS track program is on its way to a record- breaking season. Calvary has over 100 track and field athletes, the most CCHS has ever had on the team. Under the enthusiastic leadership of Coach Lisa Haag, it is no wonder so many students have come to The Rock to compete this season. She is just the right combination of cheerleader, motivator, technician, and expert. She motivates athletes to push themselves further than they think they can go while at the same time making sure they are safe and performing their events intelligently. She and her assistant coaches have practice running like a fine-tuned machine with three different start times to make sure each athlete gets the proper coaching and attention with safety and COVID-19 rules in mind.

 

On the track, nationally ranked in the 100 and 200 meters, Sophie Haag continues to break school records. She is the current school record holder in the 100m.

 

These pictures were part of the article. 

That evening we were able to watch a live track meet here on our computer.  Sophie came in first place in both the 100 and the 200 meter dash.  She beat her own record in the 200:  25:33 seconds!  I got this video.

On Tuesday evening we watched J'von's basketball game from our computer!  It was a very action-packed game and so fun to watch.  Here's a video that shows him running the ball.  He's the red #1.  He's really good, and they keep him in the game almost all the time. 

I got to see my favorite little man this evening on FaceTime.  

Destiny's other grandpa is still in the hospital.  Her uncle Steven had come home for a few days, but had to be admitted to the hospital again.  They both have very severe pneumonia since having COVID. 

Dick and I will get our second shot on Friday, and we're looking forward to it even if we don't feel great afterward for a day or two.  

Today I got another card in the mail, intricately designed and made by our dear daughter Miki in Sweden.  Her talent blows me away, and getting a card in the mail all the way from Sweden in this day and age of technology is really, really special!!  The song is Holy, Holy, Holy in Swedish.  I offered to sing it to our online Bible study this afternoon, but they just laughed.  So did I, haha!  

Have a good rest of the week!
