Well, on Saturday Steven had his first official high school tournament out at the Hudson team tournament on the other side of the Irish Hills. He won three matches and lost two matches. One of the ones he lost was to a senior wrestling at his weight, and the other to a junior when he was wrestling one weight class up. And he beat a senior at his weight class. So he did very well for a freshman! On the season he has a 4-3 record, and has not yet been pinned. And all of those defeats were to upper classmen, and two when he was wrestling in weight classes above his weight. So he is doing very well, and is well on the way to earning his varsity letter as a freshman, as his elder brother did.
The morning was beautiful, though very cold, and we had a pleasant drive out to Hudson through the Irish Hills. But when we got out it was snowing. It was windy, so rather than sticking, it was forming snow snakes on the road in the wind.
We came straight home to let out the dog (and clean up after him), and ate dinner.
Then Dan and I wanted to drive back to Saline. We had passed through Saline in both directions, and saw what looked like some sort of craft fair downtown. (We looked in the paper and it was a German style Christmas craft fair, with German food and beverage booths). It had looked very nice. But when we got back outside, it was snowing pretty hard and sticking - and some sleet and freezing rain was starting to mix in. So we decided to do the wise thing and stayed home.
We napped and heard a crash. A car had come off the road and crashed into our neighbor's yard. The road is raised a few feet from the ground there, and the person crashed pretty hard. No one was hurt, but it took the police and tow truck a long time to get the car back out onto the road.
The freezing rain was coming down pretty hard and the roads were awful.
While we were sad to miss the fair, we had made the right decision.
Today it is warmer and raining like crazy. At least it is melting the snow and ice!
