Friday I treated my wife by taking her to a Mannheim Steamroller concert to celebrate her birthday. I know, very haram stuff were we Muslims. Almost completely instrumental, but at least no bad lyrics then. :hiding: It really is her very favorite. And if you can listen to it, they have some of the neatest instrumentation. It's not just classic instruments, but they use lots of things that you might not have even considered to be an instrument, like coconut shells on a block of wood, till they use them to make music.
I spent Saturday at the ski hill where I am a part-time instructor. It was our second day open. Can't believe the quality and amount of snow we had for opening day. Not being out west, we're not likely to get any really big dry powder snows. And with the temperatures and the grooming being about perfect this last week, it just might be the best snow we will have all season. Made for some truly fantastic skiing and a lot of fun.
This Sunday morning the children presented a special program during our morning worship service. It wasn't that long ago that we didn't have any children in the church. And now the front couple of rows are filled with them. Truly a joyful time.
