Spring Blizzard 09

I think when I grow up I want to be a weather reporter. I mean, seriously, how many jobs can you be wrong more than 50% of the time and people still think you are good at your job and still listen to you! Last week they started predicting that we were going to get a blizzard starting on Friday and going through Saturday. Initial reports were for 10 inches or more. Friday came and it rained off and on throughout the day. As the temperature got colder it turned to a "wintry mix". By the time the 10pm news came on, the predictions for accumulation were down to 1 to 3 inches. When we woke up Saturday morning there may have been two inches on the ground, but that was about it. By Sunday all the snow was gone and it was in the 60s again. So much for the spring blizzard!

Zach had his second volleyball game on Saturday. The Bethany team looked a lot better and we won our first match! Zach is improving each time and seems to be enjoying himself. After volleyball we did our weekend shopping and came home. Zach's buddy Nathen spent the night, so Wendy and I watched a couple movies. First it was Zach and Miri Make a Porno. It was ok, some funny parts. I know I am getting old because movies with an endless amount of the F word just annoy me instead of amusing me. Second was Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist. It was cute and less annoying.

Sunday I went to the hospital to see Noel, Dollie and India. India was diagnosed with meningitis on Saturday, so it has been a scary weekend for them. She seemed to be doing much better on Sunday. They will find out the type today when they get the culture results back. Extra prayers for them would be appreciated.

Sunday while Zach took a nap we watched our third movie of the weekend, The Secret Life of Bees. Its a bit of a chick flick, but it was good. We finished up our weekend by walking to Brahms after dinner for ice cream. Now it is back to the grind. Hope everyone has a great week.
