One More Game Left

Saturday afternoon found us all bundled up sitting in the Franklin Panther Pit. We arrived in time to watch the Termites and Mites before grandson's team the Midgets played at 8PM. Needless to say we went through the hot chocolate and chips Megan brought as well as the hotdogs and popcorn I packed. It was cold, windy and at times wet but we had a great time. Everyone goes all out with Panther pride and spirit. There are painted paw prints on cheeks (including mine). Faces painted red and white and there are even people wanted to scare the Maroon Devils by wearing masks.

We sure love our Panthers! Finally it was time for the game we had been waiting for. The Mighty Midgets hit the field. Grandson (#24) along with 3 other teammates went out for the coin toss. The game was a exciting one with grandson getting a nice reward of $10 from his mom and dad for 2 awesome tackles. It was so cold the cheerleaders didn't even show up. No problem though as our little group came with our own pom poms, cowbells and mega horn. We more than made up for the absent cheerleaders. Not to mention all the cheering and jumping kept us warm. One more game next Saturday and grandson will be hanging up his jersey. There are still other sports and school events to look forward to but I sure am going to miss cheering on The Mighty Panther Midgets.

Where Did The Week Go

The days just seem to go faster and faster. Summer is over and fall is suppose to be here though snow flurries are forecast for tomorrow. Think we might just have a early winter. I have been busy taking some of the grands for dental appointments. They have the neatest place for the kids to get their teeth cleaned and some dental work done. Its called the Molar Roller. I didn't have my camera when I took 2 of the grands for teeth cleaning but they have appointments Monday for a couple of fillings. I will be sure and take pictures of this dental office on wheels. The kids enjoyed their visit and I got to watch Sleeping Beauty and read some up todate magazines. Wonder what they will think of next. Grandson had his homecoming game last Saturday. I missed getting the photo of him escorting a cheerleader. The one I snapped he (24) had already gone thru and was standing with the other players.
He has a game tomorrow and one Tuesday then the season will be over. I think he is happy and sad to see it come to an end.
Rusty has a friend over for the weekend. Izzy and he are just friends so don't have to worry about any hanky panky. They enjoy trying to out walking me on the Greenway and playing together on the front porch. She is a sweetie but I have promised her mom I will not spoil her.
Rusty is not going to want Izzy to go home. He loves having someone to run and play with.
Last night we went to a poetry reading at granddaughter's school. Her Language Arts class wrote poems and then set up a coffee shop in the cafeteria for family to listen to their reading. It was very entertaining.
Tonight Brian and grandson are at the HS football game, Megan is working at the hospital and Granddaughter and I are going through Halloween costumes for her cat and puppy.
We might be having fun but I think Kitty Meow and Tisha don't think so. So there you have my week. Not alot going on but enough to at least make me feel useful. Hope each of you have a blessed weekend, stay warm and dry.

First Real Game

Last night at 8PM grandson played his first real game of the season. It was against the biggest and roughest team. His team didn't win but the played a good game and they scored! Next week will be even better!
Go #24!!
I know you are wanting photos of the cabin and posts about getting settled in. Promise one soon. Rusty and I are loving our new home.

TV Remote

Now where do you think you would find a missing tv remote? Not under or in the sofa. Not in the bathroom or kitchen. Not in the bedroom or under the bed. Not in the car or in the yard. Of course, its at the football practice field! When I told the grandson it was time to go to practice he turned off the tv and we left. I saw he had his helmet and pads in his hands but never noticed the remote. After we got home and his parents were searching for the remote granddaughter remembered seeing a remote that looked just like theirs beside the playing field where the players put on their pads and helmets. Megan and I drove back to the field hoping it wasn't locked up and with the help of the car headlights was able to find the remote. Grandson was in such a hurry he didn't put the remote down after turning off tv and didn't even think about the remote in his hand when he got ready to go on the field for practice. So if you ever loose your remote don't forget to check the practice field.

Whirlwind Week

This past week has been a whirlwind. One grand had surgery, one had stitches, my Aunt Lola died, a grand had a birthday party and another had a football game. Inbetween we were working on the cabin. The wiring and insulation is finished and part of the walls are up. We hope to finish the walls today along with painting them. SIL wants to start on the hardwood flooring this evening.

The birthday party was lots of fun. Especially popping balloons by hugging your partner!

The last scrimmage game was a tie. Grandson played a good game even with stitches. Next week the first real game of the season.

Grandma missed the best picture of the day. I was too busy yelling and shaking the camera in the air. Grandson caught the ball and trying to make a touchdown. Took 3 guys before they got him down. I was so proud but I think he would have liked it better if I had took the picture.

How I Spent My Saturday

Today was grandsons scrimmage game. He was running a fever last night and this morning but still played. It was such a blessing to be able to be there to see him and his team. Next week is going to be a all day scrimmage and I plan to be there too.
