Busy Weekend…

Sam had his last soccer game of the season on Friday and it was Homecoming weekend as well, so Sam was quite busy. The soccer game was at 4pm, then there was JV and Varsity football games after his game (they all play on the same field), plus it was Senior Night. Sam of course didn’t play in the match because he is still under concussion protocol. He has missed the last 4 games, but it wasn’t like he missed too much as the team hasn’t won a game this season. The school jumped into a different league this year and they played a lot of bigger schools. Hopefully next year will be better as it will be Sam’s senior year. This coming week he has a swim meeting and goes to the Doctor to hopefully get the OK to swim. Oh, and not to forget the Homecoming Dance was on Saturday night. Sam wasn’t going to go at first because the girl he usually goes to the dances with wasn’t available, but then he changed his mind and went with a classmate? As is typical Sam fashion he was very guarded with the details but we did learn that her name was Carolyn… and that’s about all we got. Just to get the one photo took a whole day of harassment from Dad. 😁 On top of all this, Sam had to work on Saturday and Sunday.. luckily they were just short shifts.

While Sam was busy with Homecoming, Dad had the weekend off he did get some projects completed around the house that he had been working on the last few weeks. He mowed the lawn on Friday, moved the table/chairs back out on the deck after putting a new coat of oil on them and finished upgrading the trailer (new coat of stain, handles on the side and put varnish on the base). In addition, we finally got Mom’s birthday present put up. She got a new floodlight for the front sidewalk and driveway. We had to hook the new light up to the switch over the garage, which meant we had to go through the attic over the garage. Obviously it was way too hot to do that in August and it was still pretty hot even Saturday but we managed to get it finished. The light is one of the Ring Floodlights with the camera built-in.
