It's pretty sad that I've been too busy to even get a GUEST blog posted today on time, sorry Ann. ~Judy
Getting’ Out of the Funk
Message to
Peas (aka Judy), makes me sad when you’re in a funk. If there’s a lot to do,
why not hire a neighbor kid or a handyman to get the outdoor work done so you
can enjoy your time in Beaverdale? Before you say “I can’t afford it” you know
you can. Think about it cause the Peace Sisters are selfish and we want you in
Beaverdale.
Me, well I’m too busy with work, yard stuff and thinking about Dad to stay in a funk. My good friend Joan said “what will you do with yourself when work gets back to normal? Maybe go on VACATION!
March has
come to an end, daffodils are almost done blooming, my phlox are ready to bloom
and I see tulips blooming everywhere. I wonder what’s going to happen in Pella
with the Tulip Festival set for May 3rd.
I closed out March by attending the NCAA Women’s Regional’s at Wells Fargo on Saturday and Monday. I went with a heavy heart, blue hair on Saturday and something green on Monday. I was very lucky to see Coach Pat Summit and the Lady Vols win on Saturday (played Kansas) and then Baylor over GA Tech. Here’s a pic of Coach Summit. She was on the floor the entire two games, however, her assistant did most of the “floor coaching”.
And when you
talk about Baylor, not only an undefeated season, but Brittney Griner is
“da-bomb”. She’s 6’9” tall, lanky, she can dribble, shoot, block and yes she
can DUNK the ball. What a show she put on Saturday. Can’t say enough about the
double header and we had great seats (bought on Craigslist).
Then on
Monday, headed over to the arena for the 6 pm tipoff, Tennessee vs Baylor. The
game was exciting, a lot of up and down, back and forth, a lot of block shots
by Britney Griner and let me tell you, both teams had short guards (5’3”) but
they were great, a lot of hustle. At about the 2 minute marker, there was a
little “in your face” tugging and then two players come off the Baylor bench
(Griner). Well I guess that’s a no no in basketball, so all four Baylor players
were ejected. It didn’t matter, Baylor was up by 20.
Bonus of the
tournament, the cheer team and the band were absolutely wonderful. You know how
much I love a marching band and I left with this in my head “good old rocky
top, rocky top Tennessee”.
What a great
way to spend my time, get out of my funk and as they say, press on!
Chat Later,
That Girl,
