Soccer has begun and Elle came from her first soccer practice the other day full of energy and chit chat.  Her dad is her coach, and it was Brett who had the story of the week.  He was getting to know the kids on his team and said to a little blond boy, “I can tell you are a Blaisdell.  What’s your first name?”  This energetic fireball replied, “Kyler.”  Then asked, “How did you know I was a Blaisdell?  Is it because I’m kind of famous as a wrestler?”  

So, how do people know you?  What are you “kind of famous for?”   Grandma Red is famous for waffle cookies.  Kathy Kent knows her way around a computer.  Bob Crowther takes pictures that are professional quality and Anne, his wife, is the dilly bean queen.  Max Firth raises really good beef.  Judy’s lemon merengue pie has brightened my day more than once.  Lots of people are “famous” for something.  I’m happy to report these famous people connect to the rest of us by sharing their talents, and we are glad they do.  

So, here’s to the famous and to those of us who appreciate the famous.  And for the record, Kyler just might be famous for soccer as well as wrestling.  The kid scored three goals!  Life is Good when your connections include famous people!  I’m glad there are so many in Malad.
