Yes to VBS

Today was the 2011 VBS Promotion Sunday.  The kids choir at church did a great job singing some Vacation Bible School songs to get everybody in the mood.  Here's Rachel helping to get the message across. :)

Dancing & Boogieing

I'm not sure if "boogieing" is a real word, but we'll go with it for now.  I do realize that my blogging has been terribly lacking lately.  There's just not that much to report.  I could take a photo of my view from the elliptical machine at the gym, but I really don't think you would be interested.  The big news of the day....the temperature got above freezing and began to thaw out our driveway and cul-de-sac!  Exciting!!!

 Tonight was the "Senior Prom" at church.  The youth group hosted dinner and entertainment for several of the adult classes at our church.  Aaron was on escort and serving duty.

And I got to sing "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" with Lissa and Sarah a la Andrews Sisters style.  Let me just say "That song is FAST!"  But I think we did a pretty good job.  At least we had fun doing it.

I even got to dance with a special person.....and it wasn't Dusty!! :)  Bob is a wonderful gentleman from our church.  He lost his dear wife of 60 years not too long ago.  He was having a great time dancing with all of the youth.  He has such a positive outlook and always has a fun story to tell to bring a smile to your face.

Thanks for the dance Bob

Frozen!

That pretty well sums everything up.  FROZEN!  The yard is a solid sheet of ice.  I ventured out to shoot some photos....then my feet went out from under me and I experienced being airborne for a split second.  Then I landed....smack on my bum.  At least I didn't land on my head....and I saved the camera!  So I did the only sensible thing.  I brushed off and proceeded to slide around the yard snapping some pics.

Later we heard someone gunning their vehicle and spinning their wheels only to find the mailman had gotten stuck.  The neighbors pitched in and got him going.  Then I looked down the street and saw the Fox59 news van.  Apparently one of our neighbors had fallen down in the backyard and had slid down into the drainage ditch that runs behind the houses.  She couldn't get back up and out of the ditch and they had to call 911.  Fortunately she's OK.....just wet and cold.
