All the in Between.
How fun it is to have a retention pond near our school. If you get your work done early, you can take a spin around the ice before heading home!
Doctrine class can feel long when there is a frozen pond and a hockey game waiting. It was a tad bit hard to sit still as the clock ticked. :)
PSA: Even if the roads look dry during the winter, drive with caution. One youth evening ended in a truck on its top. The occupants were able to exit the vehicle safely and we are very thankful that they were unharmed. It was a careful group of youth that drove home that evening.
Is skiing or snowboarding better or more fun? In a conversation had lately, the conclusion was that snowboarding is harder to learn and easier to master while skiing is easier to learn and harder to master. Which ever you love and which ever you master, opinions are just opinions. (Some would also say that fact are just facts. :)
If there are snow days in which school is canceled, you might find the mums gathered for a birthday party and some youth girls at a cafe for a bite of nourishment and some genuine conversations. (Ohio people really should be more scared of bad roads.)
Never have I ever had an allergic reaction to medication until now. Who knew that a pill for a cold could turn into hives over the entirety of your body? Suddenly I am covered in itchy red blotches that make my fingers and feet quite swollen and leave me feeling like I’ve been stung by a hundred bees. Are the hives worth the relief of the cold? Surprisingly, yes! It is rather hard to teach when you can barely raise your voice and feels terrible to hold in a cough that leaves your stomach in pain.
I love a little refreshing sip. Here’s the latest: put fresh lemon juice over ice and then crack open a Coca-Cola to pour over it. It was actually much better than I imagined.
Play catchphrase with your youth. The funniest things get said. For instance, the phrase being guessed was “a good catch”.
“If K gets a hard-working upstanding guy, what would you call that?”
K replied, “My dad would like him!”
On the topic of food, have you ever had the viral cucumber salad? Since I had the time and ingredients, I made myself a little “Logan” special. I sliced up half a cucumber and added sriracha, honey, garlic, and sesame oil to an air tight container. After a very strong mix by shaking the container vigorously in the air, I dug in with my chopsticks. It was rather tasty and cleaned out my nasal system really quickly!
If your evening church service ever gets canceled due to bad weather, play some Scattergories with your family. The letter was R and one of the topics was Notorious People. Mum thought we would've all wrote down the same thing as she. “What do you have?” We asked. “Rudolph Hitler!” The peels of laughter echoed around the room for many minutes. Just be thankful that Rudolph the Red-nosed Hitler isn’t pulling Santa’s sleigh! ;)
“Atticus, he was real nice.”
