6am on a Sunday morning and trying to figure out what is the next logical step 🚶♂️ in the process. Today was supposed to be the back end of a Appalachian State University Field Hockey 🏑 weekend in Boone. But as you see in the photo 📷, above, Boone won’t be the same for quite some time.
The School has gotten together with the folks from Central Michigan University and found a field in Charlotte to play on today. CMU was already in the Commonwealth, having played at James Madison University in Harrisonburg on Friday afternoon.
Back 🏡, our place is still without electricity (Friday at 10am) so wanting to race back is tougher. Love the fact that the High School 🏫 is opening the doors 🚪 again today to help those in a similar situation.
The number of towns in our region that will never be quite the same for a long, long time is heartbreaking. My own personal experience with my very first Car 🚗, a 1971 Mercury Comet, after it went underwater in a subdivision during a Flash Flood, reminds me that the Car never smelt normal again. Having to swim out the window to keep from drowning was interesting as well for a 17 year old.
Galax, Fries, Marion and Radford are just some of the local communities that I have seen photos of that will be dealing with this for a long, long time.
Happy that our Cross Country team had a diversion on Saturday as did our High School football team. Such an odd Sunday morning 🌄 and I don’t see how it can keep from being an odd Monday morning.
Prayers for everyone dealing 🙏 with the oddness.
