The Case of the Missing Geese

First things first, the Orange Bobcats posted win #2 tonight with a 14-13 win over Purple. This was not a great game for Orange even though we came away with the win. We turned the ball over way too many times and gave up too many rebounds to the opposing team. Bradley played a good game, although he had picked up 3 fouls before halftime so he had to sit most of the third quarter. He hung in and finished strong, scoring 6 points and playing good defense, completing the game with 4 fouls. We had plenty of opportunities at the free throw line and shot about 50% - not bad for 9 & 10 year olds. We have three weeks before our next game so we'll be working hard to correct our mistakes. BTW - it is still a balmy 71 in St Cloud and it's 9:25 pm.

We have had requests to see our decorating so here are a few pics




Now, the missing geese. The story begins with our Scroogely neighbors next door who FINALLY got their outdoor decorations up on Sunday - better late than never. In the meantime, a "Warning" notice was put on their door about their negligence in this area. Soon after, we received a "Warning" to keep our geese in our yard, lest someone call animal control and have us arrested. So, Sunday morning as we are getting ready, TR informed me that our geese had been stolen. A little "canvassing" found the geese hiding behind various bushes and trees in the neighbors yard. Upon our return home Sunday afternoon this is where we found the geese...




Somehow, they ended up on the neighbors roof as part of their Christmas decorations. Unbeknownst to us, the joke was really on us and the neighbors as our other neighbors across the street were the ones who "stole" the geese and "hid" them in the neighbors yard.
