It’s time for a Friday Harbor/ San Juan Islands Morning 🌄 Brew on Vickey Ritchie Day !

Today is the very rare Sunday that I won’t be playing Wingman to the efforts of our Coach Vickey Ritchie and Special Olympics Basketball program. To help fill the void, Coach took the time to share a review of the efforts of a dear friend who was busy the last two days…

Vicky Town had a sellout on her hands for both nights of her Summer Stage fundraiser play “Sleepy Hollow” on Friday and Saturday night, and Carroll County Special Olympics was privileged to usher.  Team mom Misty also helped set up the distribution of the delicious desserts on Friday.  Just like CCSO, Vicky Town could not do what she does with Summer Stage without all the helpers —family members, volunteers, and the talented young actors themselves.  A fundraiser needs an audience to be successful, thank you to everyone who shared the word to fill the seats.  This was an excellent slapstick comedy with an ensemble cast of school-age actors.

Thank you, Coach !
Travis Osborne is also known to many as ” Kool Kat “, takes the time to provide us with a Bible Verse each day !

Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Thank you, Sir !

Today will be a typical fall day here in the San Juan Islands 🏝 with one exception as I have company coming over to visit !

Get out there and have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌😇🙏

Story # 3 of 4 is about the coolness level of one, Coach Vickey Ritchie !

Vickey Ritchie and I match up so very well because we both have a knack for turning on a dime when it’s needed.

Every Sunday, when both of us are on The Hill and Amy Nester makes the Gymnasium available, we spent 2 to 4 pm together, we work with an amazing group of young people ( both of us are rather old which makes others look rather younger).

Sweet 16th for Miss Cochran

For the good doctor and his desire for a Step Count, 🚶‍♂️, I had the meter running during the two hours. Not to shabby of an effort, but I was simply trying hard to keep up with our Energizer Bunny, that is Coach Vickey !

Both Dr. David and Ron might be in need of aspirin in the morning 🌄 as both gentlemen left it all on the floor today !

Vickey Ritchie and her Coolness meter…

Saturday morning 🌄 and football 🏈🏈🏈🏈 is in the air on Tobacco Road. We get things started with our Morning Brew !

Four games are to be played within 1 hour!!
Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

Psalm 31:19 Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

Things that made me smile late last night included Ryan McCafferty writing ✍️ Cavalier football and hearing that both of the Gravley brothers were interviewed after the game!

There is a boatload of HOT 🔥 topics that have people rightfully concerned about life right now, so the latest gridiron victory gives folks a reason to smile.

Another reason to smile is that later tonight, after the Virginia – Wake game concludes, I will make it by our place in Laurel Fork ! I think that it was 10 days ago when I left out for the volleyball 🏐 match at James River, so stopping by the 🏠🛖🏚 will be nice.

Sunday belongs to Vickey Ritchie and Monday to Cindy Edwards, leading into Tuesday with Kara Lawson. But today is about Tobacco Road and football.

Happy Halloween 🎃, especially to the young ones and Coach Vickey….

The final two matches for Half Pint Harris

Have a Blessed Day 🙌😇🙏
