Well...it's over....

8th Grade Girl's Basketball , that is. The girls played a really good first half then followed that up with a TERRIBLE second half. Honestly, they got "down" and then they just couldn't snap out of it. I'm still VERY proud of them and look forward to watching all of them play basketball again in high school!!

Hope everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day! Unfortunately, ours turned out a little blue!

COUNTY TOURNEY!!!!

So, here we go! Tonight is the first game of county tourney for middle school girls basketball! I'm really hoping we can win tonight...I know we are better than the team we are playing. Our girls have had a rough year and they have worked really hard, so I hope they can pull off a win tonight and play in the final game on Thursday! If not, this will be their very last middle school basketball game. It doesn't really seem possible.

Since it's St. Patrick's Day, I think it's kind of an omen! LOL We are, after all, the CLOVERS. Yeah, I know, we're not the SHAMROCKS, but still...it's KIND OF a coincidence, isn't it???? And this got me to thinking...what IS the difference between a shamrock and a clover? Does one have three leaves and one have four? Nope...that's not it! LOL So, I decided to check out ask.com and see what they had to say....here's what I found.....

Short
answer: a shamrock is smaller than a clover.

Long
answer: shamrock and clover are both used to refer to species of
trefoil (genus Trifolium, from the Latin meaning "having three leaves"). Clover
is used for large species and shamrock for small species. Shamrock, like clover,
is common in Europe, not just in Ireland.

To the 8th Grade Lady Clovers....good luck, girls! I know you can win!! You DESERVE this after all you've been through the last 4 years! Go get what is yours!!

MARCH birthdays!!!

Okay, this is ridiculous! No pictures to post...again! My sister-in-law, Margi, celebrated her birthday on March 5th. I can't remember how old she is, isn't that just terrible?!?! I'm going to guess that *maybe* she is 43, but I was thinking we were closer in age than that. Who knows! LOL And my great-nephew, Evan, turned 9 yesterday, March 14th! I hope he had a great birthday! He's quite the athlete and is always busy, so I don't get to see him too much! That's all of the family birthdays for March, but I've got a couple of friends who have birthdays coming up and an anniversary to mention, too...so I'll be posting again real soon!!

Hugs&Smiles!
