Day 50 ~ One-on-One

Day 50 ~ One-on-One

Feb 19, 2014

My first: I played one-on-one basketball with my grandson, Tyler.

What a way to celebrate my 50th “first”! Tyler is my special one! We’ve been through a lot together. When I was 50 years old, Tyler entered my life and became my light.

Tyler and I have played basketball many times, but it has always been the game of “Donkey”. You know…making a shot and then the other person has to make it or else they get a letter. Whoever gets d-o-n-k-e-y first loses. Well, Tyler played basketball on his 5th grade team this year so now he is getting more serious about. He suggested playing one-on-one. Even with all my cracked fingers from the winter’s cold and dryness, I said YES! And, guess what! He is better than I am! And “competitive me” has no problem with this. I’m sure we will be doing more of one-on-one as long as grandma can hold out.

We finished the night with my giving him a haircut, eating ice cream while watching a movie, and having him as my first overnight guest in my new master suite. As the song goes…oh what a night!
