Sadie's Gathering : This Was From More Than 40 Years Ago! My Remake of "'Twas The Night Before Christmas"!!! & MORE 😉😊

All those years ago...😉

I wrote this in the spring of 1983... I was in 9th grade, the last year of Jackson Junior High!

Aka Freshman Year, when I was 15. I was a Pin Pal, (with 7 other girls, & a very nice Sponsor)~ supporter for the Generals Wrestling Team ~26 boys; of 1982-1983, Jackson Jr. High, in Vienna, WV!

So, since I've been writing since I was very young, have a degree in journalism; am working on books, & a screenplay; & have written ~500 posts, ~40 recipes...most are photos I've done & more on here, is why I appreciate $ contributions...

right over here....... 😊😉😍~~~~~~~>

I just recently found this in a box with lots of letters, photos, and other fun items of the past. Brings back great memories, that makes me smile and laugh!!!

Hope it does the same for you!🙏

I took this photo, a few months ago... may do a Cloud Photo Book, some day ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

’TWAS THE DAY OF THE TOURNAMENTS

By: Susan Lowe

’Twas the day of the tournaments

When all through the school

The students were psyched

For their wrestlers were cool.

The wrestlers were trained

By Coach Rexroad with care

And they knew that tonight

They’d have nothing to fear.

The wrestlers they sat

In the classes they dread

While visions of victory

Danced in their head.

When over the intercom

There arose such a clatter

The teachers all jumped,

The papers all scattered.

“Attention all teachers

“and all students too,

“Tournaments tonight

“And we’re gonna need you!

“The Pin Pals will be there

“to cheer the guys through-

“But we’ll need the school’s spirit

‘So you be there too.

“Beat Falcons, beat Eagles;

“Whip Bobcats and Wildcats;

“Pin Panthers, pin Devils

“And down Yellowjackets.

Then they heard the announcer say,

As it said with all might,

“Good luck to all wrestlers

“And to all a good fight.”

Since the school counselor I was an assistant for, along with three friends who volunteered for Evelyne Moore’s office... and then Counselor Moore recommended...after she read what I wrote; she told me, I should read it on the intercom, so all students and teachers would here it! 😊

If you enjoy and donate even just $5~ I'd be so grateful!!!

Since I've written a lot on here, and lots more before... I started my blog.

One of my bfs, and she was one of the Pin Pals too... she was the one who inspired me to get back to writing. She stated, that I had been writing since we were kids, and since I got a degree in Journalism, since that was the reason I moved to Chicago, hoping to be a copywriter... she stated for to get off my ...¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ...and to get back to my writing so much again!

Thank's to her, is why I started working on this blog!

As you can see, it's been more than 40 years that I've been writing... even got a Journalism degree in WVU!!! Since I have ~500 posts on here, ~40 Recipes... and more! And I'm hoping to publish my kids' book (Enchanting, Magical History of Bubbles; so many are hoping it get published soon) and my adults'book, (Happy Wives...) I hope to finish and have ready for a reunion! Friends who've read ~nine, ten chapters, have said it's erotic and humorous 😉😂

Since we all just have 24hrs/day... I want to finish that book for my reunion in September; so I may not do more on here for a while ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ...

There is so much I wrote, even when I was a lot younger... and that's why I request $contributions!

I may share more of my writings, on here, if I receive pay. So just to end this, which I wrote in March 16, 1985; spring of my junior year in High School:

Living is taking risks and

having faith in God that every

thing that turns out is for

the better, whether it seems

good or bad; they're both the

Joy of Living!

Happy Holidays... with every month... in 2026!!!

Also, our youngest darlin will be graduating high school...

so here's the Graduation Poem I did in 1986... I shared it here on 2015... and also I shared it on 2023, when our oldest darlin graduated high school!!!

You can click on both of those... they included photos I've taken along with the Graduation Poem!

Here it is again... with a few other photos, I have taken...😉

The Graduation Poem

The friendship we share today is true,

Though tomorrow is whose to say;

When we leave this little town of ours

And go our separate ways.

Both tears and laughter we have shared

Yet we have many songs left to sing

But when it's over and we say goodbye

I wish for you these things:

To see the wonder of the sunrise
