It's been a wet one . . .

. . . here in sunny cali . . .

in fact most of abbie's best fan base 

missed this season opener scrimmage

because it was POURING rain...

and soccer & hockey are ALWAYS cancelled if it rains

but NEVER lacrosse, I learned

luckily i brought my umbrella

(to use while i waited with her for them to cancel the game)

cuz i had it to use in the stands

while i sat watching her play hard 

& score a couple

in the pouring rain

note to self: 

for the umbrella thing to work, 

you have to sit ALONE in the stands

if you sit next to your friend who has her OWN umbrella -

hers drips down onto your head

and yours drips down onto her head

(kinda cancels out the rain protection)

anyhoo

i digress

abbie got to play center

(never done that before)

and she rocked

fun for the mama to watch

#8 has the ball - that's my girl

they never felt the cold

and didn't seem to notice the wet

i, however, was FROZEN solid

after two hours of watching & cheering

Post Script:

Last night they played El Toro

and the Abster

secured 

a

coveted

HAT TRICK

- sweet win -

we were all there - could ya heard us cheering?

and grandpa got to bang the gong 11 times in a row :-)

Congratulations Abs of Steel

& the MVHS JV Girls!

Way to show your coaches that

it would be

UNWISE

(at the very least)

to cut the JV team

(that's a whole other story for another day)
