Nice Weather Again

The weekend weather has been much better. Yesterday started off cool but by afternoon is was partly sunny and in the mid-60s. Today is was sunny and mid-70s. That is so great. I sure hope it lasts more than two days.


Last night Jack and I did something we hadn't done before. We went to the Kansas City Arena Football game. We have seen it on TV but had never actually been to one. Our son, Chad, called and said he had two extra free tickets and wanted to know if we could go with them. Of course we wanted to go. It was quite different from a regular football game. For one thing, it was very fast moving. They seem to always pass the ball instead running it. The football itself seemed to be smaller and softer (don't really know this but looked as if it was). The players did not seem to have as many pads on as the NFL players. But we really enjoyed it. And, KC's team actually won their first game last night. They play in KC's new sports arena in downtown KC.


Here is a couple pictures Jack took while we were at the game:

Action on the field:

After the game, which we made it though the third quarter with Bronson, we walked over to the new Kansas City Power and Light District which has just opened in the last few months. It is continuing to expand with new restaurants, bars and entertainment avenues. It is really a very nice area and will definitely bring people back downtown Kansas City. Until the new sports arena and this new district opened, the downtown was not a place you really wanted to go. Here are a couple pictures of the district:

After church today, we just came home and worked around here. While we were gone on our winter trip, our refrigerator developed a problem. For some reason, the drain was covered with ice, and wouldn't drain correctly. So Jack took it apart and got it all cleaned out. I worked outside for while and cleaned out the flower beds and visited with the neighbors.
