Cailyn had a big event happen in her life. No, not talking about being inducted into the National Honor Society, although that did happen. This one was certainly memorable, though most assuredly less welcome. She had all four of her wisdom teeth removed. Just … ouch.
We decided to make a stop at her house and take her a little treat on our way to our other big event of the day (seeing Cailyn and her family being our first): the HCU football game. Flowers and a stuffed penguin. Guess which one I picked. Actually, Chris selected the floral genre. She went with my choice of particular flowers. No idea what kind. They were just pretty. You know. Like Cailyn. And Cailyn seemed to like the penguin and the flowers.
The football game was a real barn burner. Took over three hours to play. Why? Too many touchdowns, for one thing. Final score was 62-24. That’s 86 total points (if my math is right). It was enough that a freshman offensive lineman was put into the game for the last minute or so. The fans loved it. He was cheered continually the whole time he was on the field.
And the other reason? Must have been 10 or 12 major penalties. Big ones. Personal fouls. The kind that accompany fights. In fact one guy on the opposing team was ejected from the game and had to leave the field entirely. All that action just took time. Oh! HCU was on the winning side. Jachin served as senior student trainer for his final football game. We are proud of you, Jachin.
On the way home we stopped back by Nathan’s. They had two more turkeys for us to fry on Tuesday. Chris has to apply the rub today, so they can soak in it a day or two. Tuesday is also baking day. Lots of pies and cookies are coming as well. Can’t wait.
Proverbs 18:10 says, The name of Yahweh is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are protected.
Father, thanks for keeping the boys on the field safe, for the most part. And thank you that Cailyn is not having much pain. Heal her quickly. Amen.
