Sarah's Volleyball Tournament

Today Sarah's team of Grade 7 & 8 girls had a volleyball tournament at Springs Christian Academy. It was their first and only game play of the year. They have been practicing faithfully since September, and today they could put into practice what they learned and use the skills they developed. They did very well, all things considered. They even won two sets out of the eight that they played. It was neat to see how far they have come since their tournament last year. They played three hits on most rallies and played well as a team. I will leave you with a few pictures and bid volleyball farewell until next September. (Basketball is right around the corner - yippee.)

PEASOUP FOR BREAKFAST

Yesterday, I made a nice big pot of peasoup for supper. All day long I enjoyed the nice smell filling the house. I made a big pot, of course, because we have a long winter ahead of us, with many cold nights on which to enjoy such a warming meal. So after feasting on it last night around the table, I was happy to still have a four litre ice cream pail full for another time. I set the pail outside my back door to cool the contents before setting it in the freezer. Well guess who forgot to take the pail inside last night? And guess who found the pail this morning? If you guessed yours truly for the first question and Samantha, our dog, for the second, you are correct. She ate all of it!!! Then she hid the pail underneath the lilac bushes and filled it with leaves. I found it after being baffled as to its whereabouts for several minutes. Now, the poor doggie, has to go the bathroom very often. I have a sore stomach just thinking about eating that much peasoup for breakfast. Or any peasoup at all for breakfast.
