Mama sent the first picture to Nanaw of all the boys on Chase's hockey team. They're wearing tee shirts one of the hockey moms mad for them, showing Coach Dave with his hands on his head. This is something he does a lot. Everybody loves Coach Dave, and Chase and Mama are going to miss him a lot. Coach Dave and Mama went to high school together. The fourth pictures shows the work Nanaw's next-door neighbor did on Saturday, clearing out the brush in back of his house, to make a back play yard for his four kids. Chase had a hockey game in the Blue Note tournament on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. The team won, 4 to 2, which meant they got to play in a championship game on Sunday. They lost their game on Sunday, which meant they were out of the tournament. Chase is almost done with Affton hockey. He's going to play on the Columbia, IL hockey team when the season starts later this year. He's sad about Affton being over but looking forward to a new team and new teammates. Nanaw went over to Chase's house for dinner on Sunday evening. Mama made crunchy tacos supreme (that means with sour cream), and she and Chase made his package of Fiesta Rice from his class's special project last week. The students gathered in the Garden Room downstairs in the church and put together thousands of packets of a rice dinner called Fiesta Rice. They each got to take home one packet. The other packets were going to be sent to Guatemala as part of a project called Kids Against Hunger. (Nanaw kept mistakenly calling it Kids For Hunger and kept getting in trouble with Chase for doing that!!) On Monday after school, Chase and Nanaw worked in his room on his vocabulary packet. He never did find his original packet (the one he accused Nanaw of losing!), and he had to ask the teacher for another copy -- which must have been hard for him to do because he doesn't much like to talk to his teachers. He also brought home the worksheet for chapter 6 of The Hobbit so that Nanaw could make a copy for herself. He finished reading his AR book entitled Diper Overlode and will probably take the test sometime this week. Nanaw will look for some study material for him. He's has another Diary of a Wimpy Kid book at his house that he's going to read for his next AR book. This one is entitled No Brainer, and Nanaw will check it out of the county library in case she wants to see what he's reading.
