Illini, a Razor, and Snow

This weekend the Illini played in a basketball tournament in South Padre Island. It's always fun to watch a good game, but this tourney was only televised on a special sports package. After some finagling and several phone calls, it was determined we could get the channel for a whopping $4 a month which was totally worth is for two games...way less expensive than two meals at a local bar & grill to watch the game. So we hosted the party for our small group BB groupies AND the Illini won...Does it get any better than that? Now, we just need a 'W' Tuesday against Clemson...


And while Lynne was at our house, she enlightened us on how to clean the ceramic top stove when things boil over .... use a straight-edge razor to scrape it off. We've had this stove for FOUR YEARS and used tons of elbow grease and all it takes is a straight edge. Who knew?


And then, this morning, we woke up to this! Finally! Kabe's friend Alex slept over so there will be more snow pictures in another post.


It was only an inch or so, but it sure kept the numbers low at church.


And although it'll probably be gone by tomorrow afternoon, it sure looks pretty right now.
