A wintry Palm Sunday

We got quite the storm last night. It snowed a lot last evening and we thought it would turn to rain, but it didn't - it snowed more and we ended up with about 10 inches, maybe more. Parts of Vermont got 3 feet! Church was held, but many were not plowed out and didn't make it. Mary Westbrook had to do a lot of shoveling to get her car out - she missed the entire rehearsal before church and came in just before church started, exhausted. Zach had plowed our road twice, so we were fine. I led the rehearsal, and we were all set to sing everything a cappella, but at the last minute we had accompaniment. The congregation was much bigger than I expected it would be - there were even five boy scouts there - two of whom were baptized during the service (including Cameron, Pastor Shawn's son). So everything worked out and I was proud of my little choir. Today it is bright and sunny, but very cold. Ellen has been cooking food for Nan all afternoon - Nan is recovering from a knee replacement. Yesterday, before the storm, we went to the Bergh's to watch the TarHeels play Michigan State - and they won. It was an exciting game - Michigan State came out on fire and looked like they would run away with the game, but the 'Heels rallied and won handily. So the 'Heels go into the Sweet Sixteen on Thursday. That is Maundy Thursday, but we don't know what time the game will be - it will be played in Los Angeles, 3 hours earlier than here. So it could be late at night here.
