Good Morning, Good Afternoon and Goodnight

Wherever you are today, or whatever you are doing I hope you are having a grand day. So far today we (My parents and husband) attended the birthday party of a dear friend and family member. I know my father enjoyed getting to spend time with his friend and my husband's uncle. You could certainly see the impact he has had on others lives. It has been a good afternoon. The intent, if I am not so tired I can't, is to attend the first local high school football game of the year. My alma mater is playing their long time rival, and it is always a the first game of the season for the high school.

In my years at the high school, we had student pep rallies and bonfires before a game. I'm sure they no longer do the bonfires. I enjoyed them so much. We had a local school paper called the Skeleton in which the wrote stories about the team and other details of the events. A group of cheerleaders made stickers and pins the students could buy to support the team for the up coming game. I'm sure they no longer do that either. It was all in fun, and it helped the spirit for the football team. Of course, the football game was also a way to socialize with your friends and a boyfriend or girlfriend if you had one. It was safe ground if you will. It was where one of my first dates took place. It was also one of the first times that I played in the band. People tell you that high school is one of the best times of your life, well, I can say there were times I could have done without, but there were others I wouldn't miss.

I look forward to sharing not only my work with you, (my job, and my books,) but also my life and events in it.

Stay tuned.

Have a wonderful morning, afternoon, or evening, wherever you may be. https://youtu.be/4dkaYGaf4Tk
