BCOF Insignia

Have fun with these words: athletes, yellow, smart, ginger, spinach, work, schedule, and dynasty.

The athletes were lined up on either side of the field. They were introduced to the fans overflowing from bleachers built for fewer attendees. Adele, dressed in a yellow shirt and orange shorts, the school colors, stood up looking for her husband Dan who left work early to attend the game. The football dynasty they enjoyed watching win all season at their alma mater, Greenville University, was long gone.

Thanksgiving was a week away. Adele and Dan drove home from the game, each in their own car. Adele's mind was on the holiday meal. She knew spinach was not a home fan favorite. Her green bean casserole would meet the green vegetable requirement. The fifth grader's schedule called for a half day next Wednesday. She did not like to postpone her holiday meal shopping so close to Thursday, she thought as she drove into their driveway. Tomorrow would be ideal. She walked into the kitchen, sat down with her phone, and programmed her list of items she needed. First was ginger she needed for the pumpkin pies. She had the cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

"Do we have everything for Thursday?" Dan asked walking to the refrigerator. .

"Almost, Adele replied.

"I ran into Bill Barnes and Lois at the beer concession. They invited us to spend the day with them. Remember what a riot they were to be around?" he asked.

Adele rolled her eyes. "C'mon Dan. I know you hate my cooking, but getting us invited to eat Turkey Day's meal and watch football on who knows what kind of television does not excite me. Did you tell them no?"

"Yup. I was firm about it too. I think whatever you cook tastes okay." He walked up behind her giving her a giant hug. "You're my person," he said.

"And I am yours, Danny." She dove in for his kiss and laughed merrily. For at least the tenth time that day, she felt the joy of being with her person. She was smart to select him a dozen years ago. Life was good.
