Carol Perkins: Go Eme Go Previous Column: Sticky Mess By Carol Perkins I watched the game as if I knew the rules. I applauded when the fans behind me clapped their hands. As I studied the field and watched the plays, I saw a pattern much like basketball. Throw the ball, which was a hard rubber ball, to the teammate holding a stick with a minnow-type net on the end, and the teammate tossed the ball to another teammate whose goal was to sling it as hard as possible into the net (goal). This goal was like soccer with a "goalie" trying to keep it from reaching the net. This sport was foreign to me, but I soon realized that when one team was ahead by ten points, the clock ran down to zero. Lacrosse is my granddaughter Eme's sport, and we went to Austin to see her play two games. I may now be an expert. As I watched her play, I thought about when she was little and how we cheered when she ran up and down the soccer field, her blond ponytail swaying. When she played t-ball, we were there for a few games. I remember how she stood on the base and eyed the baseman as if to say, "I'm gonna steal, so you better watch out." When she competed on a swim team, I saw her a few times and was there to take her to karate classes (and watch) when she was only six. I went to a few of her gymnastics meets. Long distance grandparents make the most of their trips. She is a senior and has almost decided on a college. An Auburn visit will be next month, and if she chooses this school, she will be closer to Luke, who is at SCAD in Savannah. Watching her with her friends, I thought about the changes ahead. The greatest change will be at home when the ever so personable, fun-loving Eme takes all her energy with her. The house will then belong to Noah and Hazel, their dog. Makes me happy and sad at the same time. You can contact Carol at carolperkins06@gmail.com. This story was posted on 2023-03-30 10:54:10
