Apology

I must apologize to my fellow blog members for not keeping up to date lately!!  I have had several good classmate "stories" submitted lately that I have not been able to get posted!!  As I think most of you know - I have been involved for 47 years as a PIAA Wrestling Referee and this time of year has always been hectic for me.  In addition to "reffing", I have been my PIAA Chapter's Rules Interpreter for the past 26 years and assignor for 17 years.  It's that assignor job that got hectic this year with all the snow cancellations and rescheduling (schools down here seem to close at ANY hint of snow in the next TWO years!!) and reassignment of officials.  Top all that off with a case of the coughing your lungs out for the past week - and I will be VERY happy to see the 2014-2015 PIAA Wrestling season come to an end shortly!!  I promise - I will get caught up!!

By the way - now would be a good time for YOU to bring us up to date on what's going on in YOUR life!!  Drop me a note and I'll post it for you!

Here is a great Christmas poem written by Yvette (Judi Rolley White's "little sister").  It is very well done and expresses so many good thoughts that I'm posting it even though I haven't talked to Judi/Yvette to get permission!!  I could never do something like this!!  Very well done, Yvette!!




     I found many items while shopping the mall,
        but what I most wanted was nowhere at all.
  
        I passed by the games & remote-controlled
        cars, cell phones & ipods, electric guitars.
  
        I searched for a creche, but I didn't find one.
        I asked for help and was told there are none.
  
        They've played Christmas music since last Halloween,
        while real live carolers aren't to be seen.
  
        The thing that I want can't be packaged & sold,
        it's the spirit of Christmas, the spirit of old.
  
        It's family & friends, and it's doing for others,
        it's treating ALL people like sisters & brothers.
  
        It's finding the beauty of new fallen snow,
        when sun strikes the surface & snow diamonds glow.
  
        It's looking at starlight that fills the night skies,
        it's momma cow calling her calf who replies.
  
        Inside my own self is the best place to start,
        my search for the spirit that lives in my heart.
  
        It's Christmas, it's Christmas out here on the range.
        May peace and love spread to the world and bring change.
  
 


        Merry Christmas!!

 

To all my friends and classmates - may you all have a very ...

Merry Christmas!!!
