At the start of this week we were four inches deep in wet snow. Today? It was 84 degrees as we served chili mac to our homeless friends in Uptown. I really enjoy when it is our turn to serve. It is a great opportunity for the girls to get involved in the community, involved in the church, and serve others. Yes, there have been times when our financial means reflected a limited ability to purchase all our desires. In fact, we are not in a situation of frivolous spending right now. But, our girls have never truly experienced difficult times. It is a valuable lesson for them to serve others who are less fortunate, and it is in our own backyard.

I did want to share a few pictures I took Tuesday. We returned to school, snow still on the ground. It was on a two hour delay, but since it was Tuesday we were used to an odd schedule.

We attend only three classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, alternating odd and even On my planning period I decided to visit a few places on campus. We are fortunate to be on a college campus that has a wonderful lake for picnics and quiet time. I drove across and snapped a few.

I pass an old church everyday and I am dying to pull over and explore. Unfortunately, I would probably be trespassing.

The college students had fun on their day off. There were sled marks and evidence of snowball fights, as well as Frosty.

Visiting the lake I found most of the snow was untouched.
