Any day that allows me to make reference to both Stephen Puckett and Travis Osborne in the same story is a great one in my World 🌎.
Cutting across The Hill on my drive back from West Virginia, I ran into Travis on a ladder and with his work clothes on. Sadly, I cost him some daylight as we swapped a few stories about life. He mentioned that when he reached out to Mr. Puckett to confirm the proper colors, the answer he received was, ” If you are willing to donate your skill set, I will provide you with the paint. “
It was time to get back to Laurel Fork in order to get Lin to her next appointment so we said our Goodbyes 👋 with the promise that I would swing back and capture his artwork !
While this might not ring the bell for most pepeople, know its a OneofUs.Care type of moment….
Morning 🌄 BrewWe need to add Varsity Softball to the list as they have moved up their practice at Bassett to this afternoon.Howard Mayo and his Motovational Nugget for the Day :Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :
Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Fun Note 📝 from the Men’s Basketball tourneys yesterday – three former Duke players each extended their season and coaching stays with victories.
Bobby Hurley and Arizona State defeated Baylor in the Big 12 to improve to 17 – 15. This victory should also sew up a NIT bid.
Jeff Capel and Pitt snuck past Stanford University 64 – 63 to keep afloat in the ACC.
Each of the trio is coaching for their jobs and get another day !
Chris Collins and Northwestern got passed Penn State 76 – 66 in the Big 10
Time to finish up the drive back from Charleston now so I will leave it with – Have a Blessed Day 🙌🙏

Home 🏡 date 5 of 16 for our Golden Bears 🐻 Baseball team is up in the State Capitol within sight of the Golden Dome. What was called Power Park forever is now Go Mart Park.
It’s always a treat to announce when it takes place in a professional Stadium 🏟, as will be the case today for our Mid Week date.
Hopefully we will see some photos 📷 from Cavalier Park tonight 🙏 and we are set for the season opener next Wednesday versus Galax High School
22 teams are listed above and I have to laugh about just how many of them are part of the story.
Lake Taylor was set to be my High School when Dad was stationed in Tidewater and then we bought our first home across town and I attended Norview. Princess Anne would have been the Senior year but retirement took us to the Midwest.
Skyline High School has a Grandson of ours and Luray was home for a long time and three Granddaughters are set to attend there. Don Ehlers is still the Athletic Director there and has double duty with both teams in the building.
Clarke County, Handley and Central Woodstock were both schools that I covered for the Northern Virginia Daily.
Fort Chiswell and Galax are our neighbors and Abingdon is representing our Region.
We played Hampton every year at Norview and the Crabbers were always loaded with talent.
We played at Green Run High School their very first season in existence (1979-1080).
I think that is 14 out of 22, some with serious connections. So there will be some scoreboard watching 👀 later this week !
Both Coach Mayo and Brother Osborne sent in their thoughts as I was creating this = its going to be a Good Day !
