Stuffs

 

Evelyn had her last regular season game last night.  She will still have a tournament, but we don't know much about that yet.  She had quite a fan club there - 3 great grandmas, aunts, uncles, grammy and poppy and of course Wrenley who was yelling "go sissy!"  

I was happy that my mom is getting around well enough to have Mallory bring her to the game.  I have been pleased with how well she has done.  The surgery is no joking matter, but she has done all the things she needs to do to be better.  It is a slow road, but her pain level, and mobility should be so much better when it is all said and done.  

Evie's team ended in a 0-0 tie.  I am happy that they called it that way, because the way things were going , if they had to play until someone scored, they would have been there for days!  They just could not get anyone home!  She had fun, and tried hard.  I really like how they are running their season now - they play multiple games a week, and then have the tournament in June.  Ball season completely done before the 4th of July.  It is good for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that it gets really hot in July - but also I think it gives families an opportunity to go on vacation, or have more time for doing other things.  I think sports are good, important even, but having time for other activities is also important.   

Plus, now that Wrenley has figured out that Poppy is always a sucker for getting concession stand food, we could go broke if the season goes on much longer!  :)  

Today marks Cameron's one year work-iversary.  He texted me this photo this morning - and said  "one whole year of being a corporate sellout!"   I got a chuckle out of it.  I hope he knows how proud we are of him.  He has learned new skills,  become comfortable with those new skills, met a ton of people, told hilarious stories, and taken steps to make himself good at his job.  I don't know how often it is that people take the time to really listen to the things people say, and remember them - to actually get to know your customers, but Cameron does.  I have been consistently impressed at his ability to not only talk to people, but to actually remember stuff about them.  When I visited with him at LSU, he knew everyone on campus, and not just their names, but he knew stuff about their lives, where they were from, how many kids they had, where they worked before, what they liked/or didn't like.  It is a skill that is remarkable, in a world that doesn't spend enough time getting to know people on a personal level.     I know that life hasn't gone exactly the way he planned, but he has used the hard times to improve himself, and is working his butt off to make a good life for himself.  I am well pleased with you boy!
