Pictures: Playing some hoop; Mike waiting his turn.
Sometime in August while Dave and I were out on the front deck, Dave mentioned that the elementary school across the street really needed new basketball hoop nets. They were hanging by a thread. Suddenly, that became another project. It took me a couple weeks to remember to buy to nets and then a few days to get them up. Well, the neighbors went over and found it a little more complicated then we thought. One hoop was falling and pretty much out of service, the other hoop was so old the new net didn't attached correctly. Well they kept trying and found a way to tie them in place. After 10.10.10, our neighbor Mike called some other young men who grew up in the neighborhood and played some basketball in Dave's honor. Another touching moment. Watching neighbors I know and don't know as well as the school children take new interest in playing some basketball fills my heart with joy.
Thanks for the selfless idea Dave.
peace, love, groove
Beautiful. I love that my kindergarten room looks out over your yard. oxox
ReplyDeleteShows how much we care for our youth. Dave saw the youth in music and everything else. It starts with an investment of people, as without the keyboard player, the music stops. Tools rule but people rule more.
