Saturday with the Seniors

Hello Friends and Welcome to the Weekend!

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day and regardless of where you went, what you ate or what gift you received, you were able to spend quality time with people you love because that’s all that truly matters.

Last Saturday hubby and I spent most of the day with our son at Appoquinimink High School’s Wrestling Team’s Senior Day – now that’s a mouthful!  Some of you may know that my son started wrestling after the Thanksgiving break and he finished the season with a 5-5 record due to a knee injury.  Saturday was his last match, which he lost but all in all he enjoyed the experience and bonding with his teammates and the coaches.

Prior to the match, each soon-to-graduate Senior escorted their parents/guardians onto the gym floor and presented their mother with a rose.

Malik enjoyed wrestling this season and regretted that he didn’t join the team during his earlier years of High School.

Wrestling at 170 lbs, this was his last match and you can see the disappointment on his face after the disappointing loss.

But like the good athlete he is, it only lasted a few minutes and after talking to his dad, he was back enjoying the rest of the matches with his teammates.

It was a great day and watching the team knowing that it’s the end of the season was more bittersweet for me than for him.

Festive Family Fun

Hello Friends and Happy Monday!

I trust you all had a great weekend with an opportunity to do something special with your family or friends.  Saturday evening after spending all day sitting on hard gym bleachers at our son’s 1st wrestling tournament, hubby and I attended a festive family event. The family members were some that we had never met before nor did we know they live only 12 miles from us. 

It was at my mother-in-law’s funeral this past summer that a cousin told us about this annual family affair and invited us to attend.  It was a festive evening spent with our new found family members and their wonderful friends.

Here are a few highlights from the evening.
