It was a special day on Newark-Granville Road. Having Women's Lax Denison vs Wooster at home was really fun. COVID dampened it as Joe could not go- Denison's caution is keeping our students, faculty and staff safe and Open! Clare felts the love as her sporty-godmother, AD Nan, was there and her other parents- the Mattimoe's were in the stand!! And she received great kudos from dear friends on the Denison side- Denison parents. Dear pal Charlotte is a team manager for the Big Red and they found one another pre-game, Clare was dancing in the Mitchell hallway. Oh I love these happy, athletic young women and this sport! The cyber world represented with both family chats weighing in while streaming with Joe. Thanks to COVID the COW (College of Wooster) team had to grab their meal before heading north. I was able to provide some desserts and say hello to my baby girl, friends, teammates and coaches- such a treat! And I had his ski cap- that is all he wanted for Christmas for two years- he finally got it- behind the scenes family chuckle as we almost missed giving it to him this year! Note my donning of mostly Denison gear but the black and gold mask!

Pictures below capture some of the fun of the day. Thanks to all engaging with us.
Joe always said he'd cheer for Denison but hope Clare did well. Last night he admitted he was rooting for the Scots and I agree. Maybe it was that they were the underdog, maybe we truly feel like an extended part of this great team or maybe it is just because it is Clare's team and they bring her joy and support her! I do love the Denison team- I know a number of these great families and young women and can't wait to see them play and beat Kenyon! Joe and I love Denison and the Big Red- our kids will tell you they get very tired of hearing yeah Denison. I was happy happy yesterday. It was the first day of spring, the sun was shining. I started the day with Amanda Love's Word Matter art exhibit with a dear friend to help pass the time. I watched Denison baseball- crack....cheers...and the announcers' call-love those sounds! Hearing Clare announced onto the Denison field was something I won't forget. Maybe a bit sweeter since her season was cut short last year and the Denison match-up was not to be. When we talked to her today she was beaming- so happy to have had the game, to be back in competition mode. Thank you to all the time and energy it takes to keep these students moving- coaches, staff, all the meetings and testing..donations and finances. Life on Newark-Granville Road had a very happy Mom and Dad, and Aunts, Uncles, Grandmother, etc.....Welcome Spring.
