Garrison guest played on a team for a tournament the first weekend in October. We enjoyed his games - he was catcher and got to pitch - the first time pitching in a while. His bat was hot, and they won both games on Saturday. We were unable to attend on Sunday, as I played the organ at church, but they lost 10-0 so only played one game.
We had a busy Monday and Tuesday, going to Peyton's volleyball games and his baseball games, having fun at all. Peyton's volleyball team won their first game of the season and were so excited - so glad we were there to see it.
We had plans to spend the weekend in Liberty for Garrison's ABA team tournament, however, on Saturday morning before we were to leave, we were both feeling badly - fever, chilling, cold-like symptoms - so we tested, and we were both positive for Covid-19. We had been so careful and had avoided it since March 2020, but we attended a large gathering for Wylie Brown's celebration of life, and we think we contracted it there. We were both very, very sick - fever, chills, diarrhea, sore throats, coughs, runny nose - so sick. We didn't get to go to Peyton's last volleyball game on Monday. But, we are feeling better now and get out of Covid jail on Sunday. Brian Bellamy prescribed Paxlovid for us on Sunday, and five days of it have helped us to get better quicker.
Monty and Gloria Stratton brought us a chicken pot pie and apple butter, and Deb and David Mills brought us potato soup and brownies. All were yummy and were handy. We ordered our food online and picked it up at Walmart which worked well.
The tournament in Liberty we missed was won by Garrison's team - ABA/Piper - and he got to pitch some too. Their bats were on fire. They won 20-0 and 17-1 on Saturday and 7-6 and 6-5 on Sunday for the Championship. He was so excited.
On Friday night, Peyton's Middle School Band got to play with the Blue Valley Northwest Band in the stands at the football game, and Garrison's flag football team got to run through the tunnel with the high school boys. They were both pretty thrilled.
Chad brought Bingo to stay with us while they traveled to Universal Studios in Orlando, FL for a few days. He has been an excellent houseguest. During the same time period, I took care of the Siegers dog while they were gone. Busy dog sitters.
We feel blessed we had our Covid vaccines and 2 boosters so we didn't end up in the hospital. God looked after us, and we didn't get too terribly sick.
We are blessed with great friends and family who checked on us and prayed for us.
