The Week's End

It was a busy weekend...I'll try to sum it up!

Friday night Barry & I went to see a condensed version of Shakespeare's The Twelfth Night at our community college. Our friend's daughter had the main role. She was amazing! I should have at least read the cliff notes of the play beforehand;) Next time, yes!

Saturday was a great day! Most of the families from Stephen's Upwards team were able to come over after the game. Barry grilled burgers & hotdogs, and we enjoyed visiting with the dads and moms as we all pitched in to corral the kids.

We learned that Stephen's coach served many years in the Navy. We all cracked up when he said "Commanding a battleship was easy compared to coaching 1st & 2nd grade basketball!" He had many interesting stories, including how he was involved in the search in Lake Nacogdoches after the shuttle was lost. He was based in Florida at the time. I hope he can get acquainted with Nacogdoches under better circumstances someday. Great little college town!

Ruth was home for the weekend. We had some good talks. I can't get inside her head. She is interested in being a social worker (maybe in NYC???)...my little girls are grown! Liz was in Memphis for an international missions conference. I can't wait to hear all about that! Next weekend I get to spend 2 nights with them! Counting down the days!!!

Well, the weekend is extended...Monday is President's Sale Day. Or something like that! No school til Tuesday!
