Congratulations to the team and the two generations of Carters involved !


Metal bleachers = cold 🥶





Small world 🌎 story, I heard some familiar voices behind me, and it’s turns out the second game is being coached by our very own Kayla Nester !
It turns out that Scotty Goins coached 16 years of soccer, including being a mentor to Forrest Johnson back in the day !
We will see Patti and Scotty at the volleyball 🏐 tomorrow night, where it will be warmer.



Meanwhile, up in Lynchburg, the Hornets welcome their Honor students, and that group includes our Trenton Newman !

My favorite thing about the logo above is that my older daughter created it, and my younger one ran the promotion with me!
Up to this point, this book has followed chapters and a timeline, but now that goes out the window. From this point out, it will truly resemble the 1969 classic book called Great Sports Humor. There is no theme to the balance of the story as it becomes a true collection of tales offered up by countless people.
Some people are wordsmith types and pen 🖊 their own thoughts while others are more comfortable with sitting down together. When you set out to tell a community story about a good thing, the hope is that you can reach out to as many people as possible for their take.

In a lifetime of bizarre weeks, the next 8 days and 7 nights promises to rank right up there !
The Hill, Bryce Mountain, Page County, Church, Bryce, Roanoke, Duke Medical, Glenvar, Elkin, Roanoke, and finally back to Laurel Fork. Sadly, somewhere in the middle of that stretch, Lin has to fly back to Missouri for yet another round of medical appointments.

The first list was the cities where life will lead us, and here is the list of people involved with the events.
Vickey Ritchie, Pappy Meade, Nancy Sorrells, Brian Hendrick, Alan Knight, Chris Carter, and his entire family. Plus, it is time for Dennis Zimmerman to slide into the pulpit on Sunday at two different churches, we will see 👀 both Chris Dodson and Mr & Mrs Chris Graham.
The staff at the Duke University Medical Center and, if all goes well, Cindy Edwards and Company Tuesday night at Glenvar. Add more Chris Carter and Alan Knight to a little bit of Marion Harris on Wednesday. Bill Gallimore will be in the thought process along the way.
Here in a couple of hours, the most celebrated Uber Driver in all of the Land will pick me up outside and drive 🚗 me to The Hill (Kris Richardson is just that cool 😎) in order for me to assist Coach Vickey with her day long event, Little Feet.
I have to laugh when I think back to the first time that I was blessed to be a part of this event. Charlotte McPherson was standing next to me when the light bulb 💡went off, and I believe that I actually startled her. Blind trust led me there that day because I have that with our Special Olympics group, but we were probably one hour into it before I caught on as to the goal / purpose of the event.
The first thing that I can tell you is that at the end of the day, if nothing else, you will have a greater appreciation for all kindergarten and elementary school teachers !!
Today will be uplifting, followed by a long drive up to exit 273 and west, but know that the festivities at Tommy Thompson Field will be running through my worn-out brain 🧠.
My commitment to Coach Edwards and her volleyball 🏐 program is one that I take pretty seriously, which led to the over stacking of this week. We play at Glenvar this Tuesday and off on Thursday, so there was room to chase down a few folks!
Kris will be by here in a bit, so I need to get ready but I will create our Morning 🌄 Brew here in a bit!
