It's nice to see a 16-year-old at the business end of a lawn mover. Grandson Dominique keeps our lawn in good shape and earns some walkin' around money as well.  This time he earned a little extra for his annual summer fishing trip in Canada.

Caught in Flight

Altho this photo is pretty grainy, I wanted to post it anyway because of the basketball in flight, which I caught quite accidentally while trying to get action shots of my grandson.

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!
