Yin & Yang

Most of Sunday afternoon, I was walking about a foot off the ground.

Ya see, my middle daughter…the soccer star…captain of her team of 16-yr-old warriors, traveled to Reno, and captured the State Cup in a tough showdown.  They became the state champs, defeating their nemesis 1-0.  They beat the team that had beaten THEM in the championship game the last two years.  Sweet victory!

Here are some pics from the frenzied moments after the win:

Now, here’s the yang:

Less than 24 hours later, my daughters’ last remaining grandparent went to find her maker.  87-yr-old Mae Holt (whom I’ve blogged about before here)…WWII Army Nurse, grandmother to 10, and a true matriarch…left us.

Now I’ve got to pack up that triumphant athlete, her two sisters, and some deep sorrow to travel to Cape Girardeau, MO and do our duty.  I’ll be delivering the eulogy.  Luckily my bosses "get it"…and gave me the time off (in the middle of ratings, no less).

I’ve said it before, and it bears repeating.  "LIFE JUST KEEPS COMIN’ AT YA!"
