Hot, wet, yucky

Good morning,
Hot, wet, and yucky pretty well describes the weather today. Yesterday was not that much better, but without the rain. Felt more like we were residing inside of a cloud - very humid. Our driveway looks like it is April, not January. There still is snow here in the woods, but little elsewhere, unless it was piled up for some reason. The lake seems to have kept us warm enough to stay out of the freezing rain farther west and northwest. Several schools are closed in the area too. It was a rather balmy day for the 100+ folks who went for a swim in Lake Michigan at Kewaunee yesterday. Every year it happens on New Year’s Day. Not too sure why, as it is very early in the season for cabin fever to have set in already.
Our friend Sue (the Wild West Preacher) left yesterday morning for the trip back to North Dakota. Watching the web very closely, it appears she and Don will miss most of the bad weather. The stuff we are getting today they should have missed and it appears the next system coming through will be there after they get home again. That is not to say this is winter and there is snow around, but they should have a reasonable ride. Hope so.
We didn’t do a whole lot yesterday. We were ushers at church for the late service. Not many folks there, only 31 as I also had to do a head count. The first service was larger I notices - 36 folks. I told Howard we should probably send engraved invitations to the services next year.
New Year’s Eve we did have a few more folks. Actually we had a nice group and a good meal. There was more than enough food. These things are nice when there really is not a big group. We get a chance to really converse with others more. A couple others also brought soup ans sandwiches. We didn’t starve at all. Some of our soup was left over, so gave it to one of the gals who is a widow and told her to share it with a young man who is recovering from some broken bones in his leg and foot. Both are short on funds.
On the way home after church New Year’s Eve, one of the windshield wipers decided it didn’t want to be attached to the van any longer. It was night, so didn’t even stop to find it. I don’t know what is going on with the wipers, but have had both of them either come off or at least loose a couple of times. Next time we go to Green Bay I will try to pick up a new pair of them and start over.
After coming home yesterday after church, the plan was for Margriet to build a pie with her homemade mince meat. She did that and then was going to start our mid afternoon dinner only to discover we had forgotten to take the salmon from the freezer. Hard to chew on a frozen fillet of salmon, even it is only a piece of one. We ended up eating a late supper and really filled up too much. It is a good think we decided to have a piece of pie mid-afternoon! The meal was excellent!
Time top get the day a-going,
In Christ My Saviour,
