Saturday Rugby Game

Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success.
~Louisa May Alcott


I stay at home most of the week, so I'm looking forward today to watch James play rugby, while I leave my cozy warm home.

It is a cold wet and windy day, but they still go out and play. James plays for the U19 team today at 11:30AM

He loves this game and has recruited about three of his football friends to join the San Clemente Rugby Club with him the GATORS!

I must go get ready, make some coffee for the ride and wake up hubby.......

Smile for Jesus.

Rugby Banquet

Rugby descends from an 18th century Cornish or Welsh sport known as "hurling" in which a ball was thrown up and the players acting either as individuals or as teams attempted to carry it to a goal.[1] The goal could be set as far as several miles away thereby creating the opportunity for large-scale brawls in intervening villages. In Welsh the sport is called cnapan or "criapan". The old Irish predecessor of the sport may be caid, not to be confused with Gaelic "hurling" or "hockey" which has the difference that the ball was hit with a stick rather than carried. Rugby Football is commonly known as "rugby" and as "rugger".


Today we are going to a rugby banquet for the Gators of San Clemente. My son James has played a great season, and is very anxious for this party. I am bringing some cookies for dessert and other families bring pot luck style. I will write more about the awards. Have a wonderful Saturday, Keep your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of this world will go strangley dim, in the light of His wonderful face. Bloom for the King!
Love you all,
