If you’re not from my hometown, I realize that this post will have no meaning to you whatsoever. But if you are from my hometown, you will understand why I love this picture, and why I can’t help but wonder if Harry sold Coach Croom a few suits during the meet and greet.
I have no doubt in my mind that Harry is saying, “Good to see you, Coach. Good to see you. I am FAN-tastic, thanks!”
This made my day.
Harry stopped by Mama and Daddy’s on his way home yesterday, and I’ll bet you a dollar to a doughnut that he said those EXACT words. As Mama says, “He was always such a sweet child.” :)
By the way, Sly is looking slim and trim, too. :)
And you know Harry told Mama how beautiful she looked and “gosh dog, you just get better lookin’ every year” and then he left and Daddy talked about how much a sweater costs in his shop. :-) And yes, Sly DOES look slim and trim – maybe he’s been doing off-season workouts.
