Spending time with Velvet Leonard was a highlight for sure as she was hard at work with her camera πŸ“· in a show of support for Special Olympics Basketball πŸ€β™₯!

Once again, the young Lady πŸ‘© that I proudly call our Third Daughter, happily gave of her time, effort and energy for the benefit of others !

Thank You Ma’am for being you !

Thank You to Chris and Laynie-Jo for sharing her with so many people !

We are going to have to de-ice 🧊 the Plane before taking off so I might have time to tell one story about The Basketball πŸ€ Classic

Tammy Quesenberry is kept young by her Grandchildren and yesterday afternoon one of them had a MVP Moment !

Quez Studivent – Quez is young and full of energy and everyone who has spent time around him is nodding their head in agreement. Yesterday, we reached a point where every single Athlete had scored at least one basket 🧺 βž– our youngest one, Miss Sara Delp.

Vickey Ritchie and I chase the same vision every minute we are awake. Inclusion is the Goal / Dream so we collectively tried to find a means for Sara to find the bottom of the net.

With Mr Delp giving us his blessing πŸ™, Patrick Smith lifted Sara up in hopes of getting her an opportunity to score. We tried and tried but we couldn’t get the biscuit put in the basket.

Enter Quez, possibly laughing at us silly old people ( Vickey and I), little Man πŸ‘¨ says why don’t we just lower the goal???

If Quez wasn’t laughing before, he most certainly was later when we couldn’t figure out how to lower it…..

” Do I have to do everything ???” was not what this polite young Man said, but in Hallmark Movie version we need that line. Quez grabbed the tool off the wall and lowered the goal himself.

Sara Delp sank the shot, the Gym erupted and in the movie πŸŽ₯ version both Sara and Quez were carried off on the shoulders of the masses.

There were so many Kodak moments from the three hours but for me, this one had to be the Lead !

Maybe Grandma πŸ‘΅ can send me her favorite picture of Little Man so we can add it to this post πŸ“«!

The Man πŸ‘¨ of the Hour….
