Big rain today

Rain came and went and came and went and then there was lightning and hail too! There was a river down our street and many crashes throughout the city.

Anna is busy with Mattress rehearsals (Once upon a Mattress) and relaxing tonight at Youth Group.

Marian is busy planning her birthday party and wondering why people don't RSVP in the South (I told her I didn't know why either!)

Gabriel is still in winter conditioning for rowing and also gearing up for many future math team events.

Costumes for Mattress are humming along, all the seamstresses now have the fabric and patterns and are working on them. They have 3 more weeks and should be done them by the first week of February. Anna is very excited about her gold and maroon dress, it fits her perfectly! What a great find at the Oak Ridge Play House, where we borrowed a number of costumes. The total for the play is over 50 costumes, we are making about 35 of them!

Bogdan loves his new car! It looks like the picture below. He is charging for free at work and we also have a home charger for the weekend. We are now using it for all in town travel. NO GAS!!
