[at-l] Hurricane Frances

[shellydhale at earthlink.net (Shelly Hale)]

Already had your number set on the speed dial, Hon...just in case.  I know
how bad the withdrawal symptoms can be without our game day doses of orange
and white.  ;-))

Over the past few years when we would be at our little league football
games, I always wore my ear buds to be able to listen to the game.
Now...this isn't really so spectacular...but what was... was when the Vols
would be going for a TD and the cheerleading coach (yours truly) would be
dancing a jig on the top of the bleachers and screaming at the top of her
lungs..."GO BABY GO!!!".  Of course the other parents would be standing
right up there with me.  The funny thing about all of this was that the
cheerleaders and football players would be looking around for the player
that supposed to be running down the field with the ball ....when all of our
players were huddled up!  LOL  Our kids think that we're crazy!!!
