Spring has sprung here in South Korea. These days, when I look out my office window at the end of the school day, I see lots of kids milling around the grassy area, hanging out together and enjoying the warm weather. The other day I looked out my window and I was surprised to see some kids tossing around a football (because football isn't a very common sport here in South Korea), but I was even more suprised to find that one of the "football players" had long blond hair...it was my daughter Sarah!
From my perspective it looked as if she was "schooling" the Korean boys on how to throw a football. (They are amazing with their feet and a soccer ball, but it appeared that they weren't too adept at throwing a football.) I was impressed and pleased. Go Sarah!
(I nabbed these pictures from her Facebook account.)
You go, Sarah! I'll put you on my Fantasy Football team next year!! I love you, Grandma
