Happy St Patrick’s Day and we learn that you have to have a sense of Humor to survive the Twist and Turns…

The Hilton Head Island πŸ—ΏπŸ area was once our 🏑🏠🏑 and two of our five Children graduated πŸŽ“ High School here.

Every two years we return to the area and spend 8 days and 7 nights at a place on the Ocean but trip #12 has turned out to be a bit different. Our place is designed for eight people and we are always inviting people who we enjoy spending time with to join us.

This year it didn’t happen the way we planned and at Saturday check-in it was just Lin and myself, for the first time. Just a few minutes from now that number will be cut βœ‚οΈ in half as Lin’s flight ✈️ to El Paso by way of Dallas / Fort Worth will depart.

6:44 am is departure time and she doesn’t return until Thursday night.

What can you do but roll with it and smile????

Oracle is a great company to work for and we are thankful πŸ™ for the opportunity ( I almost believe that).

I can tell you that the CCHS calendar is blank today but its the calm before the storm as the Spring regular season starts tomorrow (Tuesday).

There’s still hope for me though, as I was leaving the Airport I met someone who might hang out with me for a few days!!!

Enjoy the Holiday and hopefully you can spend it with someone who will make it better because that is what Life is all about.

I need to go and take my new friend out to Breakfast before she wastes away to nothing.

Work on your brackets and make plans for the North Carolina game in Dayton, Ohio on Tuesday night πŸŒ™. We needed the Heels in and now we need them to pick-up a W…

Time to head back over! Remember that its not a Sad story, just a story…

Somethings you simply cannot make up… the on-going search for a real nights sleep…Welcome πŸ™ to Saturday morning πŸŒ„

  Trying everything possible to get a full and healthy πŸ™ night πŸŒ™ of sleep πŸ’€ in hopes of slowing down the roller coaster 🎒 ride that is life, we faced a new challenge late Friday night / early Saturday morning.

  Fire πŸ”₯ alarms that would wake the dead, or so it seems, starting going off an the Pineville, North Carolina Hotel 🏨 where we are staying.

The good news is that the Fireman could not find any flames so they eventually have to let us back inside to retrieve our belongings.

Saturday was already set to be a crazy kinda Day without the latest challenge. Here’s a number of things we will try to keep an eye on today.

Our Softball team is going to be heading up to Tazewell for the annual Jamboree for a day of Softball scrimmages.

At 1pm, Hopewell and Spotswood will meet to determine whether Carroll County was knocked out by the Class 3 State Champs πŸ†or the Runner Ups. Should be an interesting Basketball game.

Up in Ohio, our Golden Bears 🐻 Baseball ⚾️ will look to build on momentum from winning a 12 inning affair yesterday afternoon and evening. Game two will be completed and then Game three will be played.

In Charlotte at 8:30 pm, the top two seeds will play for the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship as Duke will face Louisville for the crown πŸ‘‘.

11am – Our Region neighbors, Lord Botetourt will try and keep the Class 3 Girls πŸ‘§ Basketball πŸ€ title in the Family πŸ‘ͺ.

We had an opportunity to visit  yesterday with the Man πŸ‘¨ that will slide into the remaining slot vacated by the untimely passing of our Coach Jeff Tobler. Hopefully we can transcribe those notes πŸ“ as well.

All of this while trying to safely navigate our way down to Hilton Head Island πŸ—ΏπŸ for what was supposed to be a relaxing week before Oracle had other plans.

Life is chalk full of unforseen obstacles and all you can do is roll with the punch πŸ‘Šes.

Go out there and have yourself a Blessed Day !
