SOCCER

Saturday morning we took the bull by the horn and went to 2 soccer games. The temp was 48* when we left and the winds were 15 to 20 mph. Devon's game was at 9:00 and Jordan's was at 11:30. You would think the weather wasn't too bad for the games. Wrong!!! The soccer field sits on top of a hill and the winds are worse up there. I sat wrapped in a blanket and was still cold. I forgot to tell you, the wind was blowing in our face. Devons team lost 6 - 5. With winds like that the ball didn't go where it was kicked.



During the time between games we went into town to get some hot chocolate and warm up. We walked around the gas station store to get warmed up before we went back to the hill.



Jordan's game started 15 minutes early. All the kids and coaches were there, because it was picture day. I almost made it through the first half before I went to the car. The winds had picked up to 20 - 25 mph. I was so cold. Vern and Travis toughed it out until half time. We were in luck for the second half. Another game ended and cars were leaving. One car that was parked next to the field left and Vern pulled into that spot. We were able to watch the second half from the car and STAY WARM. Jordan's team lost 5 - 4. Not a good day for soccer.



Saturday evening we drove to Ephrata (about 15 miles away) to go to WalMart. We drove through areas we usually don't see. There were more farms with plastic sheets down for planting produce. With the high winds it was a wonder the plastic stayed on the ground. The flowers in the yards are so pretty right now. Tulips, daffodils, phlox, and others. Gardens are coming up and you see the Amish ladies planting all the time.



We went to Lancaster to get a couple of things. We drove by a restaurant called Sip & Sup and a few blocks later saw a restaurant called Park & Eat. I guess if you can't come up with a name go the easy way. It is catchy.
