Hopefully everyone 🙏 old enough to remember Indiana Jones and Snakes 🐍will appreciate the title!
To spare the highly dedicated email 📧 readers, today will just be one really long read versus 15 smaller ones.
First Stop ✋ was Cavalier Park where I was thinking that I could help Coach Nester clean up after last night. Early Bird 🐦 Rick had already been there and done that. We need to say Thank You 🙏 to one of the High School Building Trade classes for coming over and helping !!!
God Bless Them !! Would love 💘 to hear more about the teacher and the Students !!!!!
Second Stop ✋ is to see Brandi’s Dad 👨 @ Omega !
You will notice a pattern here as I try to find some MOJO, enough that will get me up to the Highlands. See, Cindy Edwards and I grew up and went to different Schools 🏫 together. We are the same age and were raised in a similar fashion to we are almost Kin to each other.
My Thursdays calendar 📅 said road Volleyball 🏐, it just didn’t say Alleghany next to it. Sadly, from my part of Laurel Fork its 2:30 each way.
Everyone that has a Child that is or has played Sports for Carroll County is very familiar with what I like to call “Our Favorite Road Trip”
Stop ✋ #3 – Also down on Main Street. Mr Kevin Worrell is the one person I know that reminds me of the Mayberry feeling that I treasure ❤ here. Happily waiting my turn in the Chair. Kevin’s shop does take me back to a time that I miss !
Let’s get back to the Volleyball 🏐 match for tonight. Carroll County is starting the back half of its Three Rivers District slate and tripped up the Cougars when they visited The Hill the first time the two teams met.
Alleghany is indeed 14-3 and just Glass (twice) and Carroll County (once) have defeated them. CCHS is actually 7-6 as Max Preps still doesn’t list our victory up at Glenvar yet.
I am now made it to the On-Deck circle 🔵 so I will put a pin 📌 in it for now. If anyone has any Spare MOJO..
Just got finished with adding Google stuff for Kevin !
