There’s 14, third one from the right (the one with the white t-shirt sleeve poking out) coming in off the field with his comrades after they beat the competition in their first game. 14 plays defensive end and guard, and he was on the field all four quarters so he was a happy boy. I was there, with my fingers and toes painted Raider maroon with silver stars, frantically saying every five minutes, “What just happened?!” I have a keen grasp of football…. But!! Man, my nails looked good. :mrgreen:
Apparently, I don’t know anything about cars, either. I took my car in to Peewee the mechanic (no, I’m not kidding, he goes by Peewee….and he has a son called Bubba….) yesterday because I thought it needed new brake pads. I’m hard on brakes. Turns out I was wrong, my brake pads are fine. Peewee is the Last Honest Mechanic.
So here’s kudos to the Last Honest Mechanic, to 14 for winning his first high school football game, and most of all to 16 for getting through the week without totalling his car! Anyone you wanna give kudos to today? Drop a comment for a chance to win this weekend’s Free Book Friday giveaway title–September Silhouette Romantic Suspense release Miranda’s Revenge by Ruth Wind!
"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

"First it's glowing, then it's snowing! A pause, then screaming squalls and williwaws. Bright but bitter, then a thaw. Yet again it's cold and storming: What ever happened to global warming?"

Kudos to my co-worker, Debby, who is currently fostering a momma cat and her seven kittens (three of whom have been sick recently), and kudos to a friend who’s recently rescued two stray cats with their babies. She has 13 kitties in her house right now, including her own 3.
Have a great weekend, everyone. It’s a long one for us, Labour Day weekend. Not sure if it’s the same thing in the States.

Hooray for you, 16 on the car, 14 on the football game and for daughter on the first week of school.
There must be a lot of happy people around your house as well as lots of happy animals. The kittens as always are adorable–that’s not to say that the rest of you aren’t. :hellokitty: :catmeow: :birthday1:

I can relate to your football experience. My 17 joined the marching band right before school started (don’t even go there) and now I am attending home football games to watch him play ALL of the percussion instruments – usually just one at a time. Prior to the halftime show I sat in the bleachers, looking at the football field, wishing people would stop trying to explain the game to me, because I simply do not GET it. Every time a big tackle happened, I closed my eyes. What a wimp.
On a different topic, I just bought the e-book version of A HERO’S REDEMPTION and am looking forward to another great read. I loved SECRETS RISING – even though I also read the e-book version of that, so did not have a copy for you to sign when you were at our KYRW meeting in July. I do love e-books though! I’m all about immediate gratification, I guess.
