Weekend's best: December 4th, 5th & 6th 2010

I finally decided to join in LoriNY's idea to post a photos summing up my weekend mostly because this past weekend was very busy but also fun!

Saturday I went to the UNC- UK basketball game. Here is a pic from a couple of years ago showing where I sit and yes it's quite high up! As an employee of UNC I can get basketball season tickets and my seat is determined by how many consecutive years I've gotten them. It's a very mysterious process though. Some years my seat stays the same but others like this year I moved down 2 rows!




This is the final score so I was very happy along with 20,000 other screaming fans:



Unbeknownst to us it had started snowing hard while we were at the game. This is what it looked like as we were leaving:


On Sunday my handbell choir gave a concert at my church:




And last night (which wasn't part of the weekend but it felt like it) the handbell choir played in the lobby, oncology and pediatric units of Duke Hospital. I stupidly forgot my camera but the director took pictures so I will post some later. We put the bells on gurneys and rolled them around the hospital. People took videos of us with their phones so we might be on you tube!

The neatest part of the evening occurred in the pediatric ward. We had just finished playing and were about to go back downstairs and pack up when one woman realized a teenage girl had just made it out of her room to hear us play so we halted the roll out and played Jingle Bells for her and she rang the jingle bells for us (we always ask someone listening to ring them). Her parents were there and said she played the piano and loves music. It was a great way to end the weekend.

  1. WOW - what an amazing weekend! That's just wonderful, every single bit of it. I hope you also got to each something hot and yummy, and maybe even knit a little. :) It must've been really wonderful playing in the peds ward. What a special moment, it made me smile just reading about it. I'm especially glad you participated in my little linky thing!
