"Wakey...wakey...eggs and bakie." Immortalized words Alicia would call out to wake someone up. These Seuss'ian words reflected her playful nature. She brought levity when I used to get wound up about things with her instance of a 'belly bump'. Her lightness of spirit has left our household.
Jasmine calls our place 'a sad house' and as such, she spends significant time away from home with friends. I am sad with this development. There are periods of time when I do not get to see her much given my travel scheduled with her social calendar. She has grown up fast both physically and emotionally.
I have hiked Tennessee Valley in a long time. The weather is beautiful this weekend. I thought I would take the hike tomorrow AM. I laminated a copy of the memorial program which I will leave at the bunker. I usually put 1 program with a crane inside a plastic zip lock bag and tape it to the bunker. Hopefully this will last longer.
I have decided not to referee club volleyball this season. I am traveling a lot this year and would like to preserve the weekends to get chores done. I may ref HS this Fall again to stay close to the game but with Jasmine not playing, I'm not sure if I will even do that. For me it is not the pittance of money. It was about staying close to the girls, seeing more of their games, and being able to talk to them about their vball matches/tournaments.
