It’s 4:30 am somewhere, so let’s call 📞 this one : The pre – morning Brew

Miss Smith showing off her Pink Cup 🥤 from last night 🌙

In a lifetime of bizarre weeks, the next 8 days and 7 nights promises to rank right up there !

The Hill, Bryce Mountain,  Page County, Church, Bryce, Roanoke, Duke Medical, Glenvar, Elkin, Roanoke, and finally back to Laurel Fork. Sadly, somewhere in the middle of that stretch, Lin has to fly back to Missouri for yet another round of medical appointments.

Little fella kept me company last night at the scorers table. Thank you, Vickey Ritchie!

The first list was the cities where life will lead us, and here is the list of people involved with the events.

Vickey Ritchie, Pappy Meade, Nancy Sorrells, Brian Hendrick, Alan Knight, Chris Carter, and his entire family. Plus, it is time for Dennis Zimmerman to slide into the pulpit on Sunday at two different churches, we will see 👀 both Chris Dodson and Mr & Mrs Chris Graham.

The staff at the Duke University Medical Center and, if all goes well, Cindy Edwards and Company Tuesday night at Glenvar. Add more Chris Carter and Alan Knight to a little bit of Marion Harris on Wednesday. Bill Gallimore will be in the thought process along the way.

  Here in a couple of hours, the most celebrated Uber Driver in all of the Land will pick me up outside and drive 🚗 me to The Hill (Kris Richardson is just that cool 😎) in order for me to assist Coach Vickey with her day long event, Little Feet.

  I have to laugh when I think back to the first time that I was blessed to be a part of this event. Charlotte McPherson was standing next to me when the light bulb 💡went off, and I believe that I actually startled her. Blind trust led me there that day because I have that with our Special Olympics group, but we were probably one hour into it before I caught on as to the goal / purpose of the event.

The first thing that I can tell you is that at the end of the day, if nothing else, you will have a greater appreciation for all kindergarten and elementary school teachers !!

Today will be uplifting, followed by a long drive up to exit 273 and west, but know that the festivities at Tommy Thompson Field will be running through my worn-out brain 🧠.

My commitment to Coach Edwards and her volleyball 🏐 program is one that I take pretty seriously, which led to the over stacking of this week. We play at Glenvar this Tuesday and off on Thursday, so there was room to chase down a few folks!

Kris will be by here in a bit, so I need to get ready but I will create our Morning 🌄 Brew here in a bit!
