It’s Wordless Wednesday and I’m going to keep it short today. Simple and sweet. 32 is our boy our Fall, an 8th grader playing small town nine-man football on the North Dakota prairie. Small town games are a community event. It’s a gathering place. Win or lose, which we were on the losing end tonight, it is still a memory forever burned into my mind. In five years, our boy of Fall will (God willing) be in college and life will be so different. So I am going to relish in the chaos of road tripping to weekly games for the next four plus years and enjoy the warm (or cool) Fall days of watching our boy.

I love to do anything related to halloween in the fall! The magazines at the store are so tempting!
Katie, I just love that high school football is such a community event where you live. Like one big family that supports each other. Wish it was a bit more like that here in CA:)
Aw, I just love this! It’s the story of my life with the kids except we moved to such a tiny town last year that we don’t have football. I miss the somewhat tiny town we lived in in KY. At least we had football there…and the sense of community you spoke about. 🙂
I am in such a fall mood you would not believe it. Thanks for hosting this week and allowing me to show off this crazy festival & contest.
how sweet. yes, i can only imagine if you blink, those 5 yrs will be gone and he’ll be grown…
Enjoy it! Hopefully they’ll get ’em next time 😉
Fall, how I miss it being down in So FLA … we have to travel North for our ‘fix’ every October 🙂
My son is playing football and it is 3 games per week….freshmen, junior varsity, and varsity….whew! Good luck to your young man.
