happy days

Well since Joshua decided to quit football his mood and attitude has shot right up.Hes happy when he gets home from school and that makes me happy. You know I was bummed out when he quit,but seeing how happy he is I'm glad he did.I realize he has to live his life and not for me to push him into something he doesn't want to do.

Joshua quits

Its with a sad heart Joshua went and quit the football team today. After 3 months of practicing and 4 games Joshua decided to call it quits,I cant blame him hes been in only 5 plays in 4 games.He used to love football,but now he says he hates it.It all stems from playing time which is none,not even in practice.The coach told him had guts just no size ,which is bull ---- ! Well its there loss and Joshua will succeed .I love him and will always be behind him.

Indians homecoming

Joshua 's freshman team faced the Dexter Dreadnought's this past Thursday and played a tough game losing 27 to 26.It came down with 3 minutes to go with Dexter with the ball down 17 to 26,they moved the ball easily down the field against a tired Tecumseh team.They threw the ball for a 20 yard touch down and went for the 2 point conversion winning by 1 point.Maybe if the coach would play more than 14 players he could keep the team fresh,he does have 42 kids on the team.

clyde sreet race

This past Sunday me and Josh went to Clyde Ohio for the 19Th annual street race in the streets of downtown Clyde. We were ran 2 classes that day and were fast off the trailer,he started 4Th in the feature and got to 3rd. But Josh got in a crash in the 3rd lap ,dropping him back to 8Th.He managed to get back up to 4Th with 2 laps to go and had his brakes fail and he spun out which ended the day.The other class he started 2Nd for the feature but had carburetor trouble and pulled off the track. It was disappointing having the finishes we had but we were fast enough to win.

rainy Saturday

With the cool weather in the last week it looks offical fall is here.Where did the summer go,it was the hottest summer I can remember.Im just not ready for the cold,today is rainy and 60 degrees.I hope we have an Indian summer before the cold sets in.One thing in Michigan it can be 90 today and 50 tomorrow,you never know what the weather can be.That is Michigan living.

back to Michigan

The short trip down south to Georgia to see my mom was Great!Except for the 900 mile drive,that is awful driving it straight thourgh.WOW then to do it again 2 days later coming back!It was great seeing everyone and the the next visit I hope I can break up the drive.

road trip

After Josh's football game this afternoon,me and the family will be heading down to southwest Georgia to see my mom.This is a 14 hour drive that I hate , but I love to get there and see and visit all my kin folk.I used to spend every summer as a kid down there and stay with my aunt Janie and my grandma.I have some very special memories with my aunt's and uncle's and my grandma Moe Beanie.I sure loved my grandma and I'm even tearing up as I type this,someday when God calls me home I will see her again.I hope my kids will cherish their time we spend down there with their grandma because you just don't know how many visits you will have.This will be a short trip 3 days but we will make it the best 3 days ever with their grandma.
