Ok, what did I expect letting my daughter play in a basketball league with 60 boys and 4 girls? Yesterday was her first game, and I must say she did really well. She got in there and ran, jumped, and was basically ignored. However, at one point there was no one open, so one of the boys threw her the ball, and she made an awesome shot....nothing but net! The coach from the other team yelled out, "WHO is guarding the GIRL?" It was great. The coach and assistant coach were on the sidline, and when the ball went in they both yelled, "All right!" I could tell from that point on, she got her confidence and played hard. Of course, it wasn't two minutes later that she was slammed from the back and went down. She jumped right back up and went on for the rest of the game....however, when we got home she showed me her ankle, and it is about 2 times the size it normally is. Sigh. I went today after church and got her a bandage to wear, and she says it's helping. Today was a gorgeous day outside. It was sunny and warm, around 73 so we decided to cook out. Steak and salad and baked beans and tomato/feta relish and ice cream for dessert. I can't believe it's January! Back home we would be huddled under blankets in the house. Well, dd wants me to watch Funniest Home Videos, so I'm off for some quality time....

I thought we talked about you not "talking up" your delicious meals all the time. We slackers, (who ordered Chinese take-out tonight) do not appreciate it !!! Sorry to hear about your daughter. Ice that ankle. When she gets back in the game make sure she's not too shy to knock the guys back. I'm all for retaliation...
I love your journal entries! Your days seem to be so great in the nice warmth of Florida! lol Yea right now in Pitts,Pa we got about 3inches of snow and it just keeps coming. I really enjoy your entries and I was wondering if your 15yr old has a journal also? I would like to read some teenager journals :) *Rae Ann*
Your girl is a tough kid! I hope she heals up fast. that dinner sounds so good I forgot to eat dinner today. Boy do i miss steaks.
Days like that are priceless! Good meal choice too! Hugs, Lanny
She sounds like a tough cookie, tell her to keep at it. There are some boys that will purposely try to make her look bad. At that age it kills their ego to see a girl do better than them.
PS I'm waiting for the entry with the pic of your thermometer!
I bet your daughters self esteem is at an all time high, congrats to her! I love tough females :-)
