Saturday and Sunday - Cold, Blustery Weekend!

Ken was up early to do his morning routine, but I only appeared around 7:15.  It was so windy and cold today, way too chilly for these Florida Snowbirds!  We made a cooked breakfast and then got ready for the day.  We talked to Lanie and Jamie and decided that today we would go to Bria and Cali's swim meet about an hour from here.  Bria had swam last evening in one event - 20 lengths of the pool of freestyle.  She said it went well, but she was definitely tired - I wonder why?????

Ken spent most of the morning at his desk doing some necessary paperwork while I did my devotions, stretches, and then worked on a cardholder.  After a quick, light lunch, we left at 12:45 to go to Bria and Cali's swim meet that was in Mechanicsburg, about an hour from home.  It was so cold and so windy, really feeling like winter.  The meet went well for the girls, but I think a bit frustrating for Cali.  She added several seconds to most of her events and looked especially tired during one of them.  She recently started on a new medicine for her OCD and we all wondered if that might be affecting her.  Maybe her body just needs a little time to adjust to the medication.

We left there at 4:45 and stopped at the Manheim campus of our church and attended the 6:15 service.  Sunday we want to go to Katelyn soccer game and going to church this evening was a better option.  We were home by 7:45 and spent the evening watching some college football while I downloaded photos to Costco for the calendars I make for family and friends each year for Christmas.  It took me over 2 hours to complete the project - Wow!!!

Today, Sunday, was a less windy day but still in the 40's.  We had a rather relaxing morning doing our normal routines and having time for Ken to work at his desk and for me to get some cards ready to send to friends.

We had a late breakfast and left at 11:45 for Katelyn's soccer game which was about 45 minutes from home.  It was the semi-finals today and it was a fun game to watch.  After 2 twenty minute periods the game was tied, so they played 2 additional 5 minute periods with it still being 0 to 0.  So it was a time for kicks on goal and Katelyn's team won by 1 point.  She was so excited.  Next Saturday they will be in the finals for 1st or 2nd place.

Katelyn is the back left player in orange!  She loves to run
FAST!

Us spectators did our best to stay warm!

After the game, we went back to their house and the girls wanted to watch a video of somethings they would like for Christmas.  I had asked them to give me some ideas.  Boy, Grandma is certainly "out of the loop" when it comes to the toys girls enjoy these days!  We had a nice visit before the 6 of us left at 5 to have dinner at a local restaurant.  It was so nice to spend time with Lanie's family.

Samantha and Katelyn are ready
to go to dinner!

We were back home by 7 and spent the evening watching 60 Minutes and football.  Ken went to bed by 10 but I stayed up until the end of the disappointing Eagles game.  I only turned out my light around 12:15, way too late for this gal, but I did finish another cardholder and baby afghan.  It was a great weekend with family!
