Soccer Already?

It has been hot.  Hot and humid.  Hot is not bad, but when paired with humidity, I like the flowers in my garden, wilt.  This picture of the palm tree was taken at Target a few days ago.  I drove into the parking lot and found a spot in the shade of the palm.  This probably doesn't count as a "tender mercy," but I count it as one.  It was a gift on a hot day in a city lacking in shady tree parking spaces.

Jenna began soccer practice for the fall season on Tuesday.  She'll practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays this season at a later time than she's used to.  I'm sure it will be nice on the warm days to have a later practice time.  The coach's husband is her assistant, however, in his absence on Tuesdays, an assistant coach was needed.  Can you tell who the co-assistant coach is in the photo below?

We got Jenna's approval before signing him up.  Jenna is a perfectionist, and she expressed concern that her Dad would "yell" at her (Kelly doesn't have a yelling voice).  She doesn't like correction from us, but hopefully she'll be okay with this.  It will be a good experience for her to learn that she doesn't know everything yet.  I know, shocking, right?  Hee, hee.
