Well.  The Granddaughter and her 3 team mates were the fastest in their early morning 4 x 400 relay.  Her mom watched that race.  We arrived in the afternoon to watch her individual 400 race.  About 15 minutes before the 400 M started the mist changed to a slow drizzle.  The sky had been just sort of overcast so we had not brought umbrellas.  Just as the JV girls finished the 400 M race, Granddaughter called.   Her hamstring was really bothering her.  She was wisely choosing not to run the 400 M. 

After some confusion about if she was going to meet us, we finally texted that we were going back to the car as the rain was picking up.  And the car was some distance from us.  We were wet and did not need to get wetter.  She said it was ok.  But I have felt badly every since for not hanging around to give her a hug.  It was not all that cold, 64 F / 16.6 C.  It did feel chilly with a breeze and wet clothing.  And we are not spring chicks, either. 

This event was the third for us to sit on bleachers watching one or other of the grands do their sports thing.  A soccer game tomorrow will round out the weekend for us.  Son and DIL have been splitting their time between the five grands this weekend.  Son in Houston for lacrosse tournament,  DIL bouncing between track and lacrosse for another grandson.  Four teens and one eleven year old.  And both Son and DIL are employed full time.  Very busy family.

So that is about all that is happening in our little world.  We are in our easy chairs now.  Dry, warm clothing with a nice soup for dinner.  Here is wishing anyone that stops by dry clothes and a warm meal.
