Boy, That Was a Doozy, Wasn't It?




As promised and without a lobotomy---just yet, anyway---I'm staying true to my w
ord and happily observing one of the great moments of the week. 

The ZAGS beat BYU on the Cougars home court in a nail biter last night.  The win meant they clinched a tie for first place in the West Coast Conference in men's basketball.  It was a good day for ZAGS as the Lady Zags also won their game against BYU in the Kennel yesterday afternoon. 

Considering all the distractions and adversity, the ZAGS have dealt with this year, they deserve a pat on the back.  Now, comes the WCC tournament later this week, and we're hoping for the best. 

We were so spent and so focused last night that when the final buzzer went off, someone announced they needed a Klondyke bar after this.  So, a box of the tasty ice cream treats went around the room and we savored the flavor and the victory.

And so, in fulfilling yesterday's promise, all I've got to say is "Boy, that was a doozy, wasn't it?"  Good job, ZAGS! 

This morning is truly a good morning in Zagville and here in Selle too. 

We were blessed with yet another lovely day after a few hours of light rainfall, so early spring projects can continue.  I spent part of  yesterday cleaning out more outside flower beds. 

Another project involved some paper work in preparation for tomorrow's visit with the tax preparer.  'nough said.   Not a pleasant topic. 

So, on to more positive stuff.  

Liam met the grandpuppies yesterday.  I took him over to the Colburn compound where Willie brought out Todd and Brooke.  

All went well.  Todd and Brooke began to warm up to the fast-growing pup after a few quiet warning growls, suggesting, "You'd better be good, kid."   

In other news, Bill made the front page above the fold of the local paper this morning. Twas a great photo and story about a dinner theater at the Presbyterian Church tonight.  

The play is based on a true tale of a young couple new to Sandpoint during World War II.  He was a Navy guy at Farragut.  The  story highlights their wedding at the Presbyterian Church alongwith the generosity of church members and community members who teamed up to make this special time happen and to make it nice. 

Bill is narrating the production, which was written by and is being directed by church member Marilyn Robertson.  

Plans are that profits derived from tonight's program will go toward building a protective fence at a local Habitat for Humanity home where children will be living.  

So, a touching story about a young couple of yesteryear will lead to a happy and safe future for another young family.  Seems like a win-win for all involved. 

Guess that's all on this pleasant Sunday.  Enjoy the day and the photos, mostly taken during my walk down our dirt road yesterday.  The countryside offers some pleasant scenes on any given day.
