Pam's Corner... comments, questions and other stuff by Port's Famous Photographer

 

 

This will probably be a fairly short column this week as I have company as well as several places I need to be tonight ...all at the same time!  

On top of that, I'm not feeling very well.  I almost never do a "status" on Facebook, but for some reason, today I did.  I said I wasn't feeling particularly well today.  I later turned to Facebook to check the spelling of a name and saw several well-wishes for me when I'm not quite up to par.  People are wondering, especially those people who have or are just getting over the flu, if I, too, have the flu.  At this moment, I don't think it is, but never say never.  I think it's just one of those things that when you burn the candle at both ends for so long, it takes its toll and something has to give.  

It's been an emotional and draining week for our family as my Uncle Bob had surgery in Buffalo and our great-grandson had surgery in Pittsburgh...on the same day.  Both surgeries went well, but there is still a healing process.  There are lots of negative things to find on Facebook, but when you ask for prayer, there are some mighty prayer warriors out there who love to help out!  Thanks to everyone for the prayers for our family this week. 

By the time the R-A hits newsstands, it will almost be time for Kacie and her family to leave.  She and Jered have two adorable boys and thinking about them leaving in just a few days makes me sad.  

Mike and I went to the Basketball Banquet Thursday night - that event was a lot of fun - good food, catered by Foxes!  Honoring the kids for their efforts over the past six years is a nice thing the Boosters do...just one of the nice things.  They donate money to summer programs...I'm not sure I knew that before.  They are also sponsoring the Night of Games to be held on March 31 at the school.  As I type that, I remember I promised to take a picture to promote that event.  I better get on the ball!

The Girl Scouts were on hand to help out with morning worship Sunday as part of their Girl Scout Sunday activities.  They did a good job!  

Showcase 2015 will take place this weekend - Friday and Saturday nights, 8 p.m. at the school.  Advanced tickets are available at the school district office and at the door.  You won't want to miss it!  

Last, but certainly not least...the Big 30 Basketball Classic honoring area seniors and allowing them to play one last game in their high school career took place Sunday afternoon in Portville.  It was a lot of fun.  Port had three girls playing - Some Buchsenschutz, Lynae Delacour and Brooke Roys.  Former PAHS Lady Gator Coaches Bob Raudenbush and Beth Scanlon coached and Port Allegany's Jamie Evens was one of the officials.  It was a fun afternoon and organizers hope for it to grow bigger and better each year.  Congrats to Jim Melaro, Brian Green and anyone else involved in organizing this event.  

Better get moving or I may miss a couple of events tonight.  Be kind to one another!
