Death and Affirmation of Faith

Not sure how to title this one. Maybe I should start doing that after I have written my post. As I look back, my posts seem very long. Maybe because I don't write everyday.

Found out this week, that one of our former PE teachers and long time coach passed away. I think anyone that attended Valley in the 30 years that he was there can relate to all of the games that he taught us and Mr Mack's rules of play. Mostly the rules that he made up for good sportsmanship during class. Like, never throwing the volleyball over the net to the opposing team when it was their turn to serve. Brian and I are going to attend the visitation tonight. I feel obligated and so does he since we went to school with his children and now our kids go to school with his grandkids. Also, we have grown accustomed to seeing him and his wife at every one of the grandkids' sporting events. And, joking with them when we disagree with a call made by the referee.

We decided last night that we will host a gathering of his family after Heather's confirmation on Sunday. Ugh! Nothing like making last minute plans. We have been going back and forth on whether we would do it or not because her mother couldn't make up her mind. And, she is known for waiting until the last minute. So, I guess I will be spending the next couple of days stressing and straightening the house for company. He reminded me that it wasn't that bad. But, you know how it goes when you have different company over and you just think you need everything perfect. Luckily, I had done a major cleaning last weekend, so I don't have to do so much, just the things that I didn't get done like the front entry. That is one that I put off because it seem so be such a big project. I think I will enlist Brian's help with that because most of the problem is dusting around his deer antlers. Yuck. I already have most of the shoes put away or arranged anyway. But, will need to vacuum. Then, there is always the bathroom and picking up the little clutter piles that I put off until they bother me too much to stand any longer.

Well, I better find something productive to do here at work. Some afternoons are kinda quiet, so I can get away with this. :)
