These photos are a mite fuzzy, but if you've ever been in a large gymnasium during a football dinner with three elementary football teams, their coaches, and the players' families, you'll know that getting any pictures at all is a minor miracle! The coaches deserve kudos for giving up their time to help these young people learn skills and discipline, good sportsmanship, perseverance during defeat and humility when victorious. I'm convinced that a measure of a country is how the adults treat and teach their children. These trophies were awarded to my grandson, Dominique, who was identified as the Most Valuable Player Defense on the 14-year-old team. He's turning out to be a pretty good athlete. What's a grandmother to do? Brag! Brag! Brag!
Who'd you root for today in the Vikings-Packers Game? I planned to watch it only to be disappointed that the Arkansas television stations didn't carry it today.
ReplyDeleteAnnie! You need to ask?! We are a divided household, and my grandson owes me $2.00.
ReplyDeleteYou're a winner!
ReplyDeleteNo need to guess who I was rooting for, I'm sure. *grin*
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your grandson for his accomplishments!
And he is very handsome!
ReplyDeleteYou must be very proud of him :)
Congratulations for your grandson! Those murals are splendid, they deserve more attention.
ReplyDelete:) They don't stay still long enough to take a clear photo of. You must be very proud of them. Sounds like a healthy household to me - it adds interest to be rooting for the opposite team. Somebody always wins in the house!
ReplyDeleteFÉLICITATION, une future star de la NFL, je comprends que la grand-mère soit très contente. BRAVO
ReplyDeleteFELICITATION, a future star in the NFL, I understand that the grandmother was very happy. BRAVO
Good sporting stuff!
ReplyDeleteI watched the Packers game and was disappointed that our station cut away at the end of the third quarter and began another game. I never did understand why.
ReplyDeleteI like you post today. Handsome young man with talents.
