Homecoming
My son has never been to Homecoming or at least the dance variety. This has not caused me any angst since usually going to the Homecoming Dance involves being boyfriend and girlfriend. To his credit he has avoided this pitfall and has been “just friends” to many girls.
Now as we swing in to his senior year he’s going to Homecoming and then some. Steven was asked by one of the girls on the Homecoming Court
We’ll be there with the cameras clicking and the video camera rolling. Monday’s blog will be about a goal. I believe it’s a long lost goal for our movement and individual churches. Want to take a guess?
Have a good weekend family.
We made it through one-fourth of Homecoming. Nah, make that two-fifths of Homecoming. We were on time for the Parade and we made the game last night. As Greg said in his comments, the boy is becoming a young man.
Serendipity of attending last night’s game was running into and sitting with 2 guys I went to High School with and both of whom were in our wedding, Buzz and Jeptha. I just had a thought; there aren’t too many common names in that bunch of yours (Cecil) truly, Buzz, and Jeptha. I bet our hearts were broken every time we went to the Toy Store to look for the little license tags for bikes with the name printed on the front. I bet there wasn’t a production backlog for license tags with Cecil or Jeptha on the them!
Any way, we had a great time hanging out with them and my in-laws who came to the game as well. Now – on to some pictures.
The beginning of the parade down Tiger Trail with Brevard Community College on the left.
Steven’s car or so he and I wish. Of course I would be on the wrong side of the road. Steven is the one sitting. Joy is the pretty girl riding above him. Just wanted to make sure I clarified that.
“Steven, look this way!” The baseball field is in the background.
There’s the boy! A close-up finally seated at the game with Joy.
Long shot – as they walk through the “Homecoming Bridge.”
After half-time; Steven with the best-man from our wedding, Buzz and his wife Jackie.
Steven was voted "Best Dressed" for the Senior Class and this is his "Best Dressed" counter part for the girls, Linda.
More pictures to come after today.

I don't remember if our HS had a homecoming. I do remember there were dances. I do remember the pretty girls.
I hope all goes well and that your son (or his parents) don't crash as a result of his rapid acceleration.
I'll check out the goal on Monday.

I will look forward to Monday, I could not begin to guess. As for your son, I assume that he gets his charm and charisma from his mother. I know you will be the proudest father there, with good reason. We will expect pictures and details on Monday.
Ah yes, it's homecoming week here at good ol' Sunnyside as well.
I didn't do the whole dance thing when I was that age. I figured if I didn't TRY to get girls to like me, I would never be disappointed.

I was going to guess "unity"
My first homecoming dance with David was the first time I realized what all the fuss was about dancing....yep, it was a slow dance.....hmmmm....

Brady - We had one and it was after the Homecoming game. In 1975 I had long hair, platform shoes, and a leisure suit.
Judy - Pictures to come.
Ben - It did and thanks.
Jordan - He does. Pics to come.
Greg - No but good try and yes he is.
Steve - I didn't either until my Senior Year when I fell in love. The other years we usually came home from the game, changed, and went fishing. It's good to be a redneck.
djg - Close. There was a "hit" song in 1975 called "Slow Dancing."

MayoMan: Can't believe how much older Buzz is looking. I'm so glad I'm staying a very young looking old man!! :)
That's what being the Fire Chief of Cocoa (no retired) will do to you.
BTW - Our School Resource Officer said you did their pre-marital counseling as well as their marriage ceremony.
