Big Bear π»…

Kevin’s shop has such a throwback feel to it, across the board. Like Norm on the old sitcom Cheers, a place where everyone knows your name, and the others waiting for their turn in the historic chair πΊ.
Today is Thursday and once again Kevin has a full house π . The vibe is always relaxed and takes me back to time where life felt less complicated. The topic of the day is about ππ and catching the big one.
Kevin is good natured about the reason why folks wait in line for a haircut. The glass half-empty says he runs the only Barber Shop in town so there’s no choice.
Living in the Class half-full, I want to believe its because people feel at home here and they can visit with old friends and make new ones during their stay.
If you find yourself looking for a way to take a trip back in time, the building has been here since 1950 as a Barber Shop from Day 1. The Worrell Family πͺ took over back in 1984 and seven years later, Kevin joined the Family Business !

A tough loss for our CCMS Lady Cavaliers Softball Team last evening, as they fell 14-4 to the Ladies at Christiansburg Middle School. As the typical “Softball Dad,” I often times get wound up during the heat of the battle π₯π₯β¦β¦ after the game last night, Morgan walked out of the Circle discouraged. (And Dad may have been a little as well)??β¦.
Then, as we were leaving the park, one of Morgan’s friends from the opposing team came over and gave Morgan a Big Hug with a Big Smileπ What a Wonderful Testimony from a Wonderful young Ladyππ I was Quickly reminded that there’s A Lot more to this game than just the gameβ€οΈ
I challenge All young athletes and parents to put forth the effort to be an encourager. You just might put a smile on someone’s face when they need it the most!!!πβ€οΈ
