Soccer and Snacks


I have not had as much time as I wanted (or needed) to help with the Oaklyn Soccer Snack Stand this summer (job being crazy and all!) but I WAS happy, on the 253rd day of 2022, to be able to make a visit to the fields for Oaklyn Soccer Opening Day.  By the time I got to my two for 2022, Soccer and Snacks, on 9/10/2022, I found that there were plenty of volunteers and I had to find maintenance tasks and cleaning up to do in order to make myself (minimally) useful.  But I DID get to chat with a lot of my neighbors and friends and I got to see kids enjoying free water ice and other snacks and it made me smile and started the day off on the right foot!  I am not running the stand, but I am trying to help where I can and, even when they did not need my help, it was good to be there and enjoying the community and youth sports vibes.  Hoping that Oaklyn Soccer, and the stand, have a wonderful season!

Facebook and Memories

  I know a lot of people who have given up on Social Media.  And, yes, I concur that the FB business model is filled with issues and shadiness.  But, on a rough day at work on 4/20/2022, I looked at my FB feed and a memory came up that made me beam with joy.  You all probably can see the memory below, on the 110th day of 2022, of when Alexa hit two homeruns in a softball game and Sarah got them both on video and Collingswood won 13-7.  Well, it was not a lot, but it got me through today with a smile on my face.  So I have thanks for my two for 2022 for tonight, Facebook and Memories.  Days like today are what keep me on the platform (well that and my need for this nightly reflection!)  Good Night all and may your memories be happy!

UD and Family Weekend

Image
What a day the 274th day of 2022 has been.  Started off, where Anna was LAST year at the PTA Mum Sale for Collingswood High School.  A cold and wet sale that, although it did not sell as many we had hope we would, but the teamwork, camaraderie, and good humor amongst the myriad of volunteers made the time go fast (except for 7-9AM :-) ).  THEN, it was on to where Anna is now, and the Two for 2022 for 10/1/2022: UD and Family Weekend!  The Delaware Football Team won and is 5-0.  We got to see Kassidy and the Presses, I finally got to see Anna's dorm room (it looks really nice!), meet Anna's roommates, and check out the campus when students are actually present.  And we capped off the evening with some shopping, and dinner, at the Christiana Mall.  Anna seems to be really enjoying her time at UD and I am proud of her for her hard work and pursual of a career in K-6 education.  It was also really neat to see Family Weekend from another side, at a dif...
