It's the MOST wonderful time of the year.....

There are several sweet sounds to my ears...

• the sound of little footsteps on the hardwood floors... trying not to wake us up on Sat. mornings.
• rain on the tin roof
• hearing "I love you, Mom" with a "slamich" hug (Trippism for Sandwich Group hugs)
• listening for Cleveland City Schools on snow days
• listening to the John Ward say "It's Football Time in Tennessee"
• Hearing the kiddos playing and laughing together
• 800 horses under the hood of a NASCAR at Bristol at night

I also love to hear the sound of a gym.... the whistle, the buzzer, the squeak of shoes, the squeals of delight from a 9 year old when she makes her first basket, and the sound of the basketball bouncing. Rheagan's team - the Stuart Bulldogs - season opener is tomorrow.

It is the most wonderful time of the year!
