Tim's brother Steven and his dad, Phil, are in town this weekend. Having a little extra help around the house has been a big help. I was able to get to church in time to sing in the choir for the first time in several weeks. It made me feel very good to make music with my friends for our community. Some of our friends at church have asked how they could help out. Today I asked for volunteers to spend Sunday morning with Tim so that I could sing in the choir. It's a big sacrifice, since I need someone here from 8:00am until 11:30am. I really appreciate it, though, because singing at church is one of my favorite things to do. I didn't realize how much I'd missed it until I was back there this morning.
This has been a very nice day off, courtesy of my brother-in-law and father-in-law. After spending the morning at church, I spent the afternoon on the couch watching the Chicago Bears run all over the St. Louis Rams. (Go, Bears!) Meanwhile, my in-laws were out in the cold raking what is hopefully the last of the leaves into the street. The boys are at a birthday party this afternoon, with transportation generously provided by friends, so I am not refereeing sibling spats. I don't even have to make dinner, as Uncle Steven is making us his famous (he says) baked ziti. I'm sure that there is a huge list of things I could be doing, but I am just as sure that I'm not going to do them. I am going to enjoy the time off, as I don't know when I'll get any more until my parents show up just before Christmas.
