Maybe the ducks are running a race, too.

Greetings! Hope you have had a good start of the week. And your weekend as well! My weekend went like this...
Friday I worked late because my co-worker wasn't there. Her son had not been feeling well and she took him to the ER and, as I found out today, he had surgery on Sunday. It went pretty well, she said. Nothing too major but now he is on the road to recovery. I stayed home Friday night. Saturday, in the morning I went to Alyssa's basketball game where her team won...52-18. I am seeing a bit of a pattern here. Last week, the score was 36-18, this week was 52-18. 18 seems to be a repetitive number here, for some odd reason. She played pretty well, too...she did not score as many as last week but still was a good game. Then, from there, we went to a middle school where a junior high solo / ensemble instrumental contest was going on. She played with three of her classmates a song called Fanfare and Air. They did pretty well for it being their first time. The person judging them was helpful, and had told Alyssa to play louder as she was the only one with melody. Afterwards, one of her classmates said that no one has told her to play louder. We also listened to a clarinet quintet and a couple others. Chinese food was what we ate for lunch as we went out to eat.
My Mexico meeting was good as usual, and then went in to service. The message was really good as the pastor talked about the Christian walk and how we are to run the race, fight the good fight, and keep the faith. After it had stopped snowing (in April???? goodness!!!), we finally decided it was okay to go up to my friend's place across the river where we had dinner and watched a video on hermeneutics. It was quite interesting and a lot of information to take in. All good!
Sunday, I didn't do a whole lot other than the usual. Today at work was again quite busy as I had to finish the payroll that I started Friday and other things. The week should slow down a bit, though.
