I love my town.
We are the quintessential all-American small town.
Our Football Team Played their Hearts out this past Friday Night.
The score? 53 to Nothing. —The other Team won.
At the time of this writing, this season, they have won 2 and lost 2.
We still Celebrated, though.
The local Church, “Cross Roads Baptist Church,” holds a “Tail Gate Party” that was started by the Youth Pastor.
Around a hundred kids had fun and celebrated after the game.
Next week is Home Coming.
My Nieces are going out today to get their Dresses.
I wanted to go and help pick out their dresses.
“Uncle Lynn, Please, Please, Please, don’t go! It’ll just be an argument. Please don’t go with us to pick out our Dress!”
“Okay…”
Mom says, “Papa promised he wouldn’t go either.”
“Okay…”
I won’t mind what Dress they pick out.
As long as the Dress comes down past the knees, covers the shoulders, and they wear socks to cover their ankles. What’s wrong with that?
So, Their Aunt and Cousin will take them shopping for their Homecoming Dresses.
I plan on attending the Homecoming Game this Friday Night.
I’ll sit in the stands with hundreds of others and root for the fellas and Cheerleaders who will all be giving their best.
And, after the game, we will all come together as a Community and celebrate. Win or Lose.
Because, in the end, it’s not about “Winning or Losing.”
Love you,
–Lynn
