It sure turned out to be a much nicer day here than predicted.  We were dreading the cold going to Granddaughter Jo-Ann's soccer game in Bethlehem today, but by noon the sun was warming everything nicely and it was very pleasant watching the game.  White Mountain School won, and she is very proud that they have lost only one game this season - that happened last week when they played on their home court in the rain and the court was puddled with water, making it a tough game.  The picture above is her team - that's Jo-Ann kicking the ball.  

Uncle Bob and Aunt Theresa came to watch the game, too, and of course Bill, Monika and Tangeni.  The first thing she told Grandpa Fred and me was that she could play soccer. Tangeni could hardly wait for the game to be over so she could go out on the field.  That's her next to Jo-Ann (22).  Her mom found her a blue shirt just like her big sister's - Jo-Ann's teammates said since nobody has number 13, Tangeni should have that.  She has her own soccer ball and practices.    Starting at 3 years old she may be pretty good by the time she gets on a real team!  Jo-Ann is no stranger to the game - she played when she was in school in Namibia.

The weather turned as we were coming home - we could see dark clouds as we left the Littleton area, and by the time we got to Danville, the sky was very threatening.  Now it's raining lightly and the temperature has dropped into the mid 40's.  It may be colder by morning.  I took this picture from the top of Dole Hill coming into Danville late this afternoon.
