2018 High School
2022 Bachelors Degree Sports Therapy
2024 Master of Science Sports Therapy, Certified Athletic Trainer
It’s Been A Family Affair!
It’s been a busy week-end. Thursday we drove five and a half hours to watch the youngest grand daughter (far right) compete in the final track meet of her college and athletic career. There will be more about that next week. Friday morning we left the youngest grand daughters college and drove to the middle grand daughter’s university to watch her receive her masters degree in sports therapy. She has passed her exam and is a certified athletic trainer. Next week she will begin her career as a trainer in the Chicago Cubs minor league system. This is a dream come true for our most recent graduate. She has wanted to be a trainer since high school and the Cubs are her favorite team!
We have been more than blessed watch all of our grand kids grow up and I have spent the past twenty-eight years behind the camera recording precious memories. You can see the two great grandsons in this last picture, but they live three hours away, so my capturing of life moments will be limited going forward, but as long as I can hold a camera and focus the lens, I will record what I can.
Monday’s Music Moves Me
I am going to stray from the assigned theme this week and give a little love to our recent graduate. I started to post a top song from each of her degree years, then I thought, she loves vinyls and a vast array of music genres that go back decades and decades, so I will just post some of the music she loves. Here we go.

Yes, it’s a two week blur of activity and then it will be a memory and only the photos will remind us that it all really happened.

What a fun-filled weekend! I know you’re tired after all of that traveling. Congrats to the granddaughter! What a nice tribute to the ladies in your life, too. Tell your granddaughter there’s nothing wrong with being an old soul. I wish more could say that then maybe the world would be a better place in more ways than just music. :) Have a boogietastic week, my friend and thanks for joining the party!

It was a long week-end and we’re going to repeat the trip this week to see the youngest grand daughter graduate with her bachelors degree. Track meet one week and graduation the next. It is exciting but a little bittersweet as well.

what a lovely day you all had and congrats to your granddaughter. She is doing something she loves to do how many people can say that. I love her favs and good for her to show her own expression. I loved classical music when I was a kid and knew the names of the composers plus I loved old movies and knew the film stars but I was made fun of and belittled but it didn’t shake me from my love.

We need more old souls and just plain fans of decades old music. Congrats to your grands, and I enjoyed the progressive pictures of your newly minted family athletic trainer. Wishing her success in her upcoming job with the Cubs. I also loved the song selection, which was perfect, summertime or not, and definitely took it to the limit. Alana ramblinwitham
