On the way home, Mom & Megan were in the silver car coming home on Woodfield Road near Log House Road, when all of a sudden a small short deer jumped in front of the car. The sudden swerves and maneuvers were not sufficient to avoid the deer. So the poor deer collided with the car and was knocked down to the road. After returning home, we called the Animal Control department of the police department. They came to take care of the animal. Our car insurance was very helpful and generous in helping us fix the front hood and bumper of the car in a very timely manner.
Living thousands of miles from my grandson, it is a grand honor to participate in some of his activities. So when the opportunity arose to attend one of his soccer games, we were delighted to accept the invitation. Although his team did not win, the game was not about winning but was about rewarding every member with the same rewards: a large conspicuous badge and a sumptuous frozen treat and a photo op of the team and coach. Although he did not score and at times seemed not to know what was going on, we enjoyed watching him grace the soccer field with his running around the whole field. He seemed to be saying to us to watch him, which we did with pleasure. I am proud of my grandson for trying. One day, I believe, he will be a great soccer player. But for now, he is still my favorite soccer player in America. And that's what counts. Go, Blake!
