ACTIVE


The wipers actively flying back and forth helped us see through the screen of fog that making seeing ahead more difficult.  Dad dis a good job getting us to the soccer field in good time and right close to field number 4 where ben was playing goal.

After getting the walker out of the car we set off to find the game.  The goalie looked a lot like Ben but when we got closer we realized it was not him.  Not only that field Number 4 was at the other end unreachable by car where we were parked.  I was in a hurry to find the right place so I set off walking while dad would drive around hoping to find a place near to the action.




Dad arrives to stand by me by the fence.  The lady next to me offers to share her umbrella.  Her son is on the opposite team and we both share with pride our boys.

The man next to dad also on the other side shares that he has been impressed with Ben as an excellent goalie.

He makes one good save after another.  There is no score for either team.

Theresa and Morgan soon join us as we all try to keep warm in a little huddle.

I was dressed warmly but my legs started to feel chilled to the bone although I did not really notice until we started to move to the car. 

We were invited to Carol and Panteli's for lunch with Kim coming to join us but I had enjoyed being there but was now ready to just head home.

Dad made me a cup of coffee while I snuggled into the chesterfield with a warm blanket and a heating pad.

It had been an active start of the day for us and now it was time to relax.

Now that is dedication....watching the soccer game outdoors on such a chilly and damp day!
I hope you had chairs to sit on and didn't stand for the game. The photos looked like a cold winter's day in Vancouver, but not as cold has here!

What a lovely photo of Theresa and Morgan...both Morgan and Ben are growing up so quickly. It seems every time you put another photo on, they have grown. How old are the children now?
Any news on whether Ben made the Whitecaps organization?|

Despite the extreme cold weather warnings people were out and about yesterday...lots at the local store and driving around. The excitement for the day was when a large semi pulling a flat bed ran in the ditch on our road....the roads are ice and even they ice isn't very slippery in extreme cold, he still ran in the ditch.

There isn't anything much better than a warm blanket and a hot cup of coffee after being chilled is there?

wishing you a great day,

Love, Nancy

Dad had a bad night coughing and feels very weak today.

It is best he just rests.

I promise Pat and John to meet them at church so I will make an effort to go.

Thanks Ken for the photo's Your children are sure changing too.

Love mom

Very cold wet day to be out watching soccer, when will Theresa know the results if Ben will be moving on or not?

Trying to clean more today, keep getting side tracked.
