A Wii bit of Pain

Our friends were so excited to be one of the first in this country to own a Wii. I remember the day we got a phone call from Josh just as happy as could be. I really did not understand the attraction. To me all game systems are in one category...time waster and money hogger.

My boys love them and have them...lest you think that they are forbidden in our house, they are not...just extremely well edited and with much complaining that we won't let them buy any "good" games.

That call came from Josh well over a year ago, I think.

Flash forward to last night. I am yelling at the screen after our own newly acquired Wii has just told me that my sports fitness age is 74!!! What does a Wii know? And the bowling? I have never scored so low in my life! This machine has a wicked streak and keeps curving my ball! I love hitting the home runs, though. My sons were WAY impressed.

It was so fun! Our whole family laughing and playing tennis, bowling, and baseball. It felt really good. I am sore today. It was funny when athletic Mikey was sore on the day after he first played it...I should have known it would be worse for me.

This Wii just might be a great thing for keeping this family playing together.

Now, off to church and a fellowship meal here afterwards. I am making chili and rice. I have tables all over the kitchen dining room and living room. I want a church building and I want it now...hear me whine!

It will be fine!

I love having people over...

This is Hospitality Lane, after all!

Blessings on your day!

Snow!!

It is so pretty outside our home. From mid morning until sometime after we went to bed last night it snowed off and on. The roads got pretty slick and taking Mikey to work was kind of interesting. I slid past our road on the way home and then had to come a different way that meant coming down a HUGE hill. I do not like that feeling of losing control when the brakes lock up and the car keeps moving!!!

The weather made for a much more peaceful Wednesday evening than we usually experience. Youth Group, Awana and music practice were all cancelled.

Mom made a scrumptious dinner of Roast beef, mashed potatoes, corn, carrots and salad. I contributed fresh from the oven cinnamon bread muffins and Georgia brought brownie sundaes and pumpkin pie. Since we didn't have to rush to all the usual places we were able to linger around the table and enjoy each other's company.

I hope the roads are better this morning. Sometimes the main road into Lancaster drifts pretty badly. But I am so excited to see all of the trees with thier little snow coats. I think that is one of the prettiest sights in the world.

You have a super day, wherever you are and whatever you are doing.
