...so I went outside to get some pictures. You never know when you might need a fog scene.
Below is the treat I found hanging from the lights over the hay bails in the front yard...
...don't you think the center looks like a heart?
...a closer look shows tiny beads of water like crystals strung on fine silk. For a better look, click on any of the pictures.
I wonder, if the sun would have broke through the fog, would the "jewels" have sparkled?
...but for all their effort...
...they just weren't keeping the other team from scoring...
...or making touchdowns either.
This went on till the 3rd quarter, then they seemed to turn it around.
I thought this kid was going to turn around and go back the other way.
His hesitation got him tackled.
The cheerleaders never lack in spirit and enthusiasm.
Then the boys started making touchdowns...
...all the way free and clear.
They were on his heals...
...and almost had him...
...but he was just fast enough and made it.
The one below was for the extra point.
They didn't win, but managed to go from 0 at the beginning of the 4th quarter to 20 at the end of the game.
Good Going Guys! Now if you can just figure out where that 4th quarter came from and apply it to a whole game.....
But some people are fooled by this and actually attempt to cash the checks.
I went online and found the Stub Hub is an actual site, they sell sports tickets. In their notifications page they tell all about this scam. On May 27, 2007 they wrote:StubHub recently learned about a mail fraud scheme that is illegally using
StubHub's name and logo.The perpetrators of this scam have been distributing false sweepstakes letters claiming to be from StubHub Financial Services or Prime Financial Services. These letters include counterfeit checks bearing the StubHub name and logo.
Important: These checks are NOT genuine and StubHub did not send them.
StubHub and eBay do not conduct drawings or sweepstakes of this nature. We are working with law enforcement to identify the origin of this fraudulent activity. StubHub, Inc. is not responsible for these correspondences.
A few weeks ago we had a visit from a longtime family friend that lives in Oklahoma. As usual we all met up in Wichita for dinner.
As we prepared to leave I told family to meet me outside, I have vegetables for anyone that wanted them, mainly cucumbers. A man at the next table overheard my offer and "jokingly" said that he'd take some, too. Our waiter also said that he'd like some (see picture below) and my husband told him to come on out and get some.
Outside my husband gave the waiter some cucumbers and told him to take a couple back to the gentleman at the table next to ours that said he wanted some also. I followed the waiter back in to ask for a couple of "go bags" and since he'd gotten some of the produce I didn't feel I was out of line for asking. Inside he asked me if he had seen okra also. I said, yes, but my sil had already laid claim to it. He said if I had anymore in town with me that he sure would like some. He hadn't been able to find any in the stores.
That's the K-Monster, #31...
The boys really tried to stop him...
...but he just seemed out of reach...
...see the helmet on the ground in the lower left corner...
...and they didn't give up...
...but he was just too fast.
#72 was listed as being 196lbs. and it took K-Monster and another to just slow him down.
A pass off to #5...
and then he's down.
Here's another down and stretching for distance.
This one looks like a bit of Do-See-Do. LOL
There were some really pretty pink and purple skies that night.
The game was another learning experience, they lost 6 to 46.

...he seems to be getting around a lot better since they put the cast on. Appears to be a lot more relaxed.
While I was there my son was showing me his revamped game system and that he now had classic Atari games available to play. He started playing Centipede when the movement on the TV caught their cat's attention...
BTW, this cat's name is Psycho. She earned her name, there weren't a lot of people that she would allow to touch her and some people she flat went off on. In the last year she's actually gotten friendly and cuddly.
Last week he went in and got a dark blue cast put on his leg. His folks bought him a silver Sharpie which he took to school with him and all the kids in his class signed it. I'll get a picture of the cast in the next few days and get it posted. He's healing well and getting around a lot better.

I would like to pass this one on to Psiplex, Momo Fali's and everyone else that I had in mind for this has already received it from someone else. That's what happens when you procrastinate!
...the majority of their players are in their second year playing tackle and they've got few "big boys" on the team which they didn't hesitate to put in even though they were stomping us.
Here was the beginning huddle, a beautiful day for being outside at a football game...
In the lead are #31 and #5...
#31 in the middle of the pack...
...there's #31 and #5 again (why are these guys on the left just standing there?)...
...I'm not sure which one of the boys this was, but thought it was a good shot...
#5 has the ball and to the left it appears that #70 has a shoulder pad in his grip...
...#5 down...
...our cheerleaders were right in front of where we were sitting...
...and put on quite a show...
...K-Monster got hit in the hip and was down temporarily...
...but it wasn't long before he was back in the game.
I barely caught #5 running by between the down markers and cheerleaders in front of me...
...this is the only touchdown we made this game that counted. Another boy made a touchdown but it didn't count because of a foul during the play.
Here a player has a grip on #5's jersey...
...one last shot of K-Monster, #31, in action.
It was an experience building game. They didn't win but they'll go into the next game knowing more than they did in this game.
