Carol Perkins: Friends and Family Weekend Previous Column: Words Matter By Carol Perkins Our grandson JC is attending UT Martin in Martin, Tennessee, and we visited for Friends and Family Weekend. He plays trombone in the marching band, so we saw their halftime performance and the first half of the football game. The band was impressive, and the Skyhawks won their game. After the game, we ate at a local restaurant called Grind. The servers dressed up for Halloween. "Guess you wonder why I'm wearing deer antlers for Halloween," our server said. She explained that when she was waiting on customers at the same table where we were sitting, directly in front of a picture window, a deer lunged through the glass, jumped over tables, and threw the customers and staff into survival mode. Thanks to YouTube and security cameras, Grind made national news, and now everyone can see the famous "deer through the window" video. (Go to YouTube to find Grind restaurant/deer.) Interesting. JC drove us through campus and then to his dorm/apartment. What a difference time has made in the living conditions on campus. His four-bedroom apartment, complete with a living room, kitchen, laundry room, and two bathrooms, is a far cry from where Carla lived in the UK. This Saturday night, the stroll from the parking lot to his dorm was deserted, and our voices echoed as if we were on a speakerphone. JC turned to Carla and me and said, "It's quiet around here," a hint to lower our voices and not draw attention. Teens never change when it comes to being embarrassed by adults. On Sunday morning, we were to meet JC at his church. Knowing he was exhausted from the day before, I wasn't surprised when he didn't show up. Naturally, his parents were worried, so his dad headed to his dorm. When he couldn't get a response after banging on the door, the security guard let him inside. By then, panic had washed over him. To his dad's relief, JC was sound asleep, and his phone was dead on the floor. Mark and JC missed church, but we met up later for lunch. The four-hour drive to Martin took us through a part of the state we never visited. The trees were beautiful, but being with our grandson was refreshing. Guy said, "You're different when you're with one of the grandkids. You're happier." Aren't we all? You can contact Carol at carolperkins06@gmail.com. This story was posted on 2024-10-31 15:39:24
