Lee Williams First Year Men's Volleyball 2024

Image
Tony had a difficult decision this year.  He played volleyball in middle school; but his 8th grade year was cancelled for COVID.  Then we moved and Lee Williams did no have Men's Volleyball--so he took to tennis.  However this year Lee Williams offered volleyball; just the same season as tennis.  He tried to do both for the first of the year, gut concluded it was too hard and he decided to focus on volleyball.  He played J.V. and never went out.  On varsity he rarely went in.  he said he played back line at the tournament they went to in Phoenix.

Restaurant Review: Cracker Barrel Restaurant and store

This is a nice restaurant and country store.  There food is very good.  Better yet it is reasonably priced.  They always seem busy.  The only unpleasant thing is you have to pay at the store.  This allows them the opportunity to get you to spend more money. Sometimes there is a line to pay.  Last time we went we had the daily special, country fried pork which was very good.  They also have country fried steak.  I have also had their fried chicken.  Tony has enjoyed their dumplings.  The southern cooking seems to hit the comfort food spot.  There are 664 restaurants in 45 states.  A side benefit of Cracker Barrel is for the most part the allow boon-docking.  This allows for spending the night when you are on the go, and you can a
