Nuts about Nine, Ten, Eleven
I am nuts about 9/10/11. On this day BYU and Texas are playing football in Austin, Texas with nearly 100,000 in attendance. The U of U is playing USC in LA. Both lost by close margins. I spent the day pressure washing the exterior of my mother's home, attended a 21st birthday party and wanted to do nine more fun things going on in the valley. Our neighbors son is getting married today on 9/10/11. It's a good day for a blog post, to pay checks and repeat 9/10/11 over and over.
At these ages of 9, 10 and 11 we are in the fourth through six grades. Boys and girls begin to notice and tease one another with childhood crushes. I learned to play chess, four square and Polka dance with Dale Butterfield. Mastering times tables, long division and fractions was required and acheived. Mrs. Fine, Mr. Drew and Mr. Johnson were my teachers those grades.
What a carefree time life is at age nine, ten or eleven. We think life will always stay the same and never change, nor do we want it to. Summers are never long enough and friends become bosom buddies. Sleep overs, bike rides and making cookies rule. What a great time of life.
