Football, Floats and Birthdays

Another busy week: Powder Puff football, on Wednesday. The seniors won, and the girls complained about how sore they were for three days. Springport’s homecoming, the senior float placed second, but they took the little brown jug for spirit week. The theme for the floats this year was rooms in the house, the Seniors got the bathroom and did Crush ‘em and Flush ‘em. They had a Quincy player spinning in the toilet. The judges apparently didn’t like that as well as the Juniors, whose room was the kitchen, “Toast the Orioles”

The football team won the homecoming game 14-6, nobody scored until the end of the third quarter. This makes them, 5-0 in the conference and 5 -1 overall. They play Reading next week, (4-1 in the conference) and Union city 5-0. This means they have a chance at the conference title; their last Big Eight title was 1973. They also need one more came for the play-offs. GO BLUE- GO WHITE!!!
We drove to Centreville, to see a horse clinic on Saturday. Dennis Reis, who is on RFD-TV. They called Charlie a few weeks ago and asked him if he was interested in free tickets. He asked for enough for the parents of the questrian team because they all said they would like to go, but it ended up just one other family. Oh, well, that's what happens-everyone is just so busy.

Then the Senior class came here for their float burning bonfire.
Today Anna-Lena went to the Detroit Lions game, with a friend whose boss, has season tickets. If you’re watching on TV look for her ;-)
Anna made a comment a couple of days ago that she has not had a weekend- to sleep in since she has been here. It certainly isn’t my schedule that’s keeping her from sleeping late. She still has a few more weeks, before she will have the opportunity to sleep in, there is a cross country meet and horse show next weekend- and Cross Country the next week.

Today is my brother, Ed's birthday. Barry didn't like the picture I put in when it was his birthday and reminded me that Ed's was coming up so here is a picture Happy Birthday Ed, I

Charlie is leaving this afternoon for Houghton Lake fishing with his brother tomorrow, so check back to see what he catches, and maybe some good fish stories.

Did you know that this week is the 20th anniversary of the smiley face emoticon :-)
Keep smiling. J

  2. I don't even know when this picture was taken. It was the only one I could find, of him as an adult, although I am not sure the hat indicates that ;-p
