Wet leaves are a drag

Things are looking up. The rain is gone and it is Friday. It isn't going to be the best day, weathe wise but it is an improvement and in life it is important to appreciate the little victories. A dry day is a little victory and I'll take it.

The volleyball team lost 3-1 last night. The team they played was pretty good but it seems that our team has kind of given up on the season. They were flat and out of sync. Jess played well and during the game one of the refs asked our coach what grade number 5 (Jess) was in. She said sophmore and he said "Really, she's very good." I was sitting in the area when he said that.

Drew decided to not go to the game so he stayed home alone last night. I can always tell when he is getting a bit scared because he calls my cell to see when I will be home. The call came about 7:30 last night. He locks all the doors and nervously waits. He could have come to the game so he had that option.

The HS football game is away tonight. Jess was asked by one of her friends to go to Lake Okaboji this weekend. They have a cabin or time share or something up there so they are leaving tonight. It will be a good break for Jess. A chance to get away and not worry about school or sports. They have practice Sunday night because the first round of regionals is Monday.

Time to post the pics.

Have a great weekend. GO BIG RED!
