Hi Y’all,
We have internet again!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!
I am sorry about the abrupt disconnection, but we had absolutely no notice that the computer would be disabled and the internet shut off until after everyone who came for the races had left. Ricky graciously allowed me to make a fast call to Chuck to let him know and he was going to post a message on the blog, so I hope none of you got anxious.
I wrote daily blog entries and I’ve mailed them to Chuck, so he will post them soon, I think.
Our athletes did really well in the races. Unfortunately, neither Sheaffer nor I anticipated the confusion on the dock on Saturday morning. Picture this: there were more than 4 languages being spoken (most of them very loudly) while Coach Zebet spoke in RO over the loudspeaker and everyone juggled to get dock space to load and unload athletes to boats. It was chaos!!! Coach Zebet saw what was happening and came down to help, though, and thing got better after that. Unfortunately, not until after Ricky, Blake, and Stanton had missed some races, though. I am really sorry about that, especially since they really tried to be where they were supposed to be, when they were supposed to be. I don’t know if the girls were just better at just taking the boats they needed or what, but they always seemed to have someone to help them get what they needed.
Everyone is eating better and we have found an acceptable milk for them. That has helped a lot with breakfast, as they can eat cereal then.
Sheaffer is having them train today, even though the RO athletes have the day off. Our kids are worried that they didn’t train hard enough last week and they want to make sure they are improving. Not everyone wanted t practice today when it was first mentioned, but they all came around.
Please feel free to email me and I’ll try to answer as fast as I can. Hopefully this afternoon we will be able to Skype with y’all.
Take care,
Marcy

(Editor's note: They are up and in chronological order). I tried to write each one the day it covered so that I would cover as many details as possible while they were fresh in my mind.
