Let’s start with Cindy Edwards and Company. There are now four weeks left in the Carroll County High School Volleyball season.
Seven matches remain with three taking place on The Hill and four more on the road βοΈ one ” off night.” One of the three home matches is different because it will include the Middle School while another will be Senior Night.
Tomorrow night is the first of two with James River High School. The Knights are the lone Three Rivers District team that our Lady Cavaliers have yet to face.
My unofficial math has us at 4-1 in the league with seven to play, meaning tomorrow night is halfway through the TRD schedule π .
So, Tuesday and Thursday this week belong to Cindy Edwards !
Linda has a medical appointment on four of the five work days that I will need to get her to, and there is no reason to elaborate any further about that.
Next on the list is Vickey Ritchie !
Yesterday afternoon, I heard Coach utter two words that I figured I’d never hear !!! Vickey Ritchie admitted, out loud, that she was tired. She gives everything she has on a daily basis and somehow plows through it without flinching.
Yesterday afternoon from 2pm until 4pm, we combined forces to create a ” show ” that couldn’t have happened without some AWESOME folks from within our / her community !
Vickey gets the top spot on both Friday ( Little Feet ) and Sunday with our next edition of Who’s coming to Dinner / Practice ?
Saturday is normally blocked π« off for the Duke University Football team, but this week is one of our two bye weeks. I will need to adopt another team for the weekend because it is a mental break time slot.
There is a vital meeting that will take place on two occasions this week. One will happen later today up in Salem and the second one on Friday afternoon on The Hill. Both will change the path of what’s next in the Big Picture πΈ we call life.
Thursday involves the flipping of the calendar π from September to October. This means that Greg Bolen will step down from the King of the Banner and he has to be replaced with the next contestant on Who is the face of our Efforts to save the World π from the likes of Doctor Evil π?????

Then there are lingering questions about things like Chick-fil-A ??? Does the food taste better because it is God’s food, or is that just what you tell yourself when you wait in line like we did on Saturday morning down in Durham ????
Next up is the fact that for the twelve time this year, my phone storage is sending me cries for help. See, life happens faster than I can process it by a wide margin.
Blind faith on display here as this video πΉ came from Vickey Ritchie, and I haven’t watched it yet because I was also tired yesterday.
Shawn Montgomery will have a cross country meet once or twice this week, Half Pint Harris will also play βΆοΈ one or two matches.
I’m going to see Travis Osborne at least once this week and Austin Keith twice, which are both things to look forward to !
Now, if someone out there wanted to help the cause, here is the graphic that I could really, really use !!!!
Take a picture πΈ of a witch π§ββοΈ and replace the face with one of Vickey Ritchie. Next, take a picture of a mangly cat π, place the Cat ( probably should be a black one ) and then put my face on the it’s face.

It’s now 3:30 a.m., and I might have the opportunity for a nap before the creation of our Morning π Brew at 6 am.

Of no, I just remembered that I have five more personalized. Thank you cards to write from the Alumni Game…..
Now, because this story isn’t really about any one person, there is no reason to send it out to a group of people.
So, now you know why the group of diehard readers are sooooooo important to my mental health.
This story is / was about what all is bouncing around in my brain π§ , to the point where it woke me up at 2:00 am.
The biggest reason why I don’t go looking for things to care about, it’s because I struggle to keep up with the ones I already have.
Everything I have typed to this point is of equal importance to ” The Cause “
But seriously, if someone can create that graphic I need, I will compensate them with two slices of pizza ππ at the next home volleyball π match ! That is a 2-fer because for that person to claim their reward, they would have to attend a volleyball π match !!!
Normally, I would circle π΅ back at this point and recap this story, kbut the circle would be too big !

It’s almost time to start the wall to wall coverage of Pierre Curtis and Furman University Women’s Basketball π !!!
Here’s my take on the photo above. I knew that Alyssa Ervin has a rather cute little brother, but I had no idea that she had a sister too.
Life is full of surprises, and that is what makes it worth living !
