It’s been a Great Day in our Neighborhood, tip of the Cap to Mr Rogers !

   4:00 pm is here and I would like to take a moment to reflect on the first 2/3 of the Day ahead of the 🐺🦊🐺 versus Blue Devils 😈 kick-off.

Somedays I feel like I’m on an Island 🏝 as I try to make people smile and make them feel better about life. Today is most certainly NOT one of those days.

From the moment I woke up to a Bible Verse 🙏 from Travis Osborne, the day simply picked up steam !

Two posts 📫 for the Cross Country teams that headed over to Hungry Mother State Park ! ✔✅

Patti Goins and Marion Harris have teamed up to provide positivity for Head Coach Howard Mayo and his version of the Lady Cavaliers as they spend the day hooping up in Roanoke. ✔✅

I created something to make Rick Nester laugh and send him searching about any college eligibility he might have left. ✔✅

Shared an upbeat moment with my partner and friend, Allen Worrell ❤.✔✅

Ashlyn Newman made my day as we exchanged notes about her version of Saved by the Bell 🔔.

Receiving some photos 📷 from Montreat College with Sarah Alderman and her friends and family 👪 in them led to pleasant exchangestudent with Mrs Bunn and Mrs Smith !

Time for Kickoff…

Maybe 👀 we win, maybe not but here’s what I know. I am sitting in my favorite sports venue with my Bride 👰 and Best Friend, with a Big Smile on my face. The smile 😃 comes from the folks that dropped by the neighborhood !

Outgained in the 1st half, 304-149 but somehow leading 21-20 ???

953 yards of Offense…

Bonus Edition of Saved by the Bell 🔔: The Cavalier College Years as we hear 👂from Sarah Alderman’s Family 👪 and Friends !

Sarah’s new Cavaliers in Action 🎬

Montreat College is located just outside Ashville, North Carolina. Beautiful little campus tucked in the hills of Black Mountain ⛰.

  The team is the Cavaliers and they are still waiting to return to their home Gymnasium after the flooding. The pics are showing their temporary home for Volleyball 🏐.

   For those of you that are new to the site, the College years was created as another means to showcase our success stories. Being Proud of your Child should be a lifelong experience, not one that ends with High School graduation.

  I have tweaked this section each of the past five years and here’s what folks should know. It’s open to anyone who has a Cavalier in College and is proud of him or her. Just need someone who wants to share their appreciation for their Child, or Grandchildren or Friends.

  There’s a fine line between sharing great news and acting like Paparazzi, digging through stuff. Shining a Light on All That’s Right ( that might stick !).

Assist on this one to Marion Harris !!

Now we have “Art ” from this morning 🌄 at Hungry Mother State Park ! Thanks Mom 👩
