On the way back from Kansas City (back in October), I got a message from one of my brother's best friends (and second brother to us), Bryce, saying he had a surprise for us...it was a brand new basketball hoop!!! Bryce works for Dick's Sporting Goods and someone had apparently bought the hoop online and didn't like it (??). When he returned it, Dick's wasn't able to restock it since it was bought online. So, the manager asked if anyone wanted a free basketball hoop! Bryce remembered that I had been asking about one on facebook a month or so before and brought it over that afternoon! And that's how we ended up with a $700 basketball hoop--for FREE. A blessing? You bet.
A few weeks later the boys came over and helped Cubby dig a 4 ft hole and poured the cement for the hoop. Then, the following weekend they came back for the hoop raising ceremony! A big job, but the guys had fun. (And we lucked out with good weather too!)
