Sunday, November 22nd

Tim and I signed on to help pack and load shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child, we and about two dozen others, so we got to attend the worship service after all... Pastor Bruce preached on Matthew 5:23-26 in preparation for the Lord's Supper... all about being at peace with everyone (in as much as it depends on us).

Saturday, November 21st

The car repairs ended up taking pretty much the entire day... and being quite a bit more expensive than I'd hoped... so much so that Tim and I did part of the labor ourselves. He did have an indoor soccer game at 4:45, had 3 goals in a 14-5 victory over Tuscola (it was only 3-2 at the half). Grace had a team of 12 in the Duval County Math Competition and brought home the 3rd place hardware in the 21-team event... Here are the "Mathletes" with their beloved coach!

Tim and I did homemade pizza and a movie tonight... just the two of us!

Tomorrow he's marching in a parade with his baseball team and playing indoor soccer; we also need to take the cars in for service and get some yard work done... hope it's a pretty day!

The UNC-Asheville coach wanted to take a look at Tim, and lined it up for him to work out with the local select team tonight... here he is talking to the club team coach at the end of the practice; it seems they both want him... now we have some decisions to make. The HFC red team is the top age-group team in our region, and UNCA is a Division 1 college team!

Student Appreciation Chapel always features a musical "Faculty Original"... this year, there were two, performed completely without the benefit of rehearsal... brave teachers! (I tried unsuccessfully to upload the video, sorry).
Here's a picture of the students going through the buffet line of goodies the teacher brought them... as always, ladies first!

Just as the JV Basketball team was ready to tip-off its season, the fire alarm went off... we found out later it was triggered inadvertently by one of our Guatemalan exchange students (he's worried about possible consequences; I told him we'd talk tomorrow)... The varsity boys are beginning their defense of last year's state championship without the two big men from that team (both are now playing on a Division I college team)

Will snapped this one right after our Sunday lunch at Ruby Tuesday... sure was fun to spend that couple of days together!
Tim and I will be back down for Thanksgiving and Christmas...

Back in Asheville now with a day's work under my belt, and ready to go back to school for a special session of the corporation... we'll see about catching up on sleep tomorrow night ;-)
