Lesson 554: Love Wins

Good evening, Readers.

It's a balmy Friday night here in Harborcreek (one word), PA.

Eloise spent the evening at the local Harbor Creek (two words) stadium

Watching the Huskies (plural noun)

secure another victory.

Eloise is one proud Huskie (singular noun,

 identifier related to a school mascot).

Thank you to the good sports across the bridge.

You are brave (adjective) Braves (proper noun,

 identifier related to a school mascot).

We love the IE,

so we're keeping it.

Love wins.

A Y on the end of Huskie leaves us as aghast 

as Sam thinking this outfit matches.

Ellen told him he looked like a sunset.

Love won that battle, too.

Sam didn't change.

Speaking of sunsets,

the Walmart parking lot is a great place to capture them.

I was riding my bike one evening this week

and a beautiful cloud caught my eye.

I watched it all through the park,

and noted how different it looked from different angles.

The light played such a major factor.

Light brings out the beauty in everything.

This is the same cloud after the sun dropped below the tree line,

at now an early 7:20 pm.

Light is love,

and when capturing this cloud,

Love Wins.

We sure do love the Barber National Institute's 

Beast on the Bay!

This girl did part of the regular course,

along with the adapted course.

Our ever growing team of people who took on the course

or the adapted one

or bought a Happy People T-shirt

or showed up to cheer at the finish line

or wait expectantly for loved ones to come through--

Thank you!

Our children have far exceeded expectations

because of education through Barber National

and a supportive community.

Natalie was so determined this year!

I was so happy

to be there to capture it.

So who won this race along Presque Isle's beaches

and trails

and swamps?

Love Won.

I spent less time running the course

and more time watching this year.

Cousin Bonnie was missed this year!

It gave me more time to really spectate

and in that I developed a great admiration for other people 

and what they do.

Every person has a story.

Stories need to be told.

I was thinking of other ways to share stories and information--

avenues beyond this blog.

I'd love to know what the mayor thought about the day

and if he liked parking cars.

I'd love to know what Maureen Barber thought about the day,

and why she is a Notre Dame fan.

I'm thinking the Lamp Post needs to go mobile.

I love podcasts so much

why not make one of my own?

Mobile Lamp Post--Sunday Drive editions,

these could be video though,

and Eloise is slightly scared of video.

I'm all about being brave now.

If James Corden can carpool karaoke,

why can't I?

My sister just screamed,
"BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SING!"

Anyhooo...

Readers--

do any of you have any experience?

If so,

give me a hoot and a holler.

To close out the night,

Carrie Underwood's song Love Wins

from her new album that was released today.

Great tunes!

Eloise
