OH, THE JOY OF BEING A GRANDMOTHER

For a week now I have had "issues" with our wireless box. Sometimes it would work and then go off while I was online. Other times I couldn't get on at all. Finally, I marched upstairs and jerked the plug, let it wait a few minutes, and plugged it back in. It WORKED!!! Sometimes you just have to show it who's boss!

Anyway, I haven't been able to write any blogs for a week.

The genius and I had a great weekend, eating out, going to Michael's varsity football games, etc. This afternoon we watched him play a junior varsity game, the first one we have been able to get to and boy, were we proud grandparents!!

He did a great job of blocking. Sometimes they put three guys on him just to keep him in his place, but most of the time he just bowled over his opposing lineman. He also recovered the other team's fumble, and near the end of the game when we were leading 8-0, he tackled the ball carrier and saved a touchdown. So they beat a team they hadn't beaten before!!

I remarked to Brenda toward the end, "This is definitely one of the highlights of being a grandmother. I have been looking forward to watching Michael play football since he was two years old -- NO, three months old!! It's his SPORT, and I love watching him.

Of course, I have enjoyed all my grandchildren, and I have sat through dance recitals, school pageants, basketball and baseball games of the others, and several graduations and been a proud grandmother at all of them.

But today was Michael's day.
