Frigid Blast of Winter!!

This weekend I was able to get away to Carrie's for some good times and freezing cold weather!! On Saturday night we joined Nickie in the gym during her supervision and played Settler's of Catan with Randy, Jiffer, and Nickie. It was fun with all the trading between myself and Randy. Carrie declared she will never play the game with me again!!
A nice self-portrait in the gym.
Real strategy going on here.
The students played basketball and volleyball.

Pictures by Carrie's tree on Sunday evening before I headed back for Collegedale. We also went shopping on Sunday afternoon. Saturday it rained all day and the high was about 39 with a 20 MPH+ wind. Then on Sunday the high was 32 with a 25 MPH sustained wind and gusts of over 40 MPH!! It was very cold but it felt a lot like Christmas finally after being in the 70s for 4 straight days in Collegedale early in the week.
Here I am infront of Carrie's tree waiting for her for a picture.One more picture infront of the tree. It was great fun and the weekend flew by. I'll see Carrie again for 2 weeks straight for Christmas and New Year's in Winston-Salem and Florida!! I will be going with Carrie and Grant home to the Iverson's in 2 days... I can't wait!!! Happy Holidays.
