Christopher is working football camps outside in the hot weather. This is his second week. He called me last night and told me he decided he wanted a haircut but didn’t have time to get one, so he cut it himself! The final look? This:
He sent me this pic via cellphone which is why he looks so long and skinny!
Looks cool!
Donnie and Wanda dropped by this afternoon for a visit. We sat on the back porch and talked for about an hour and a half. Upon their departure, Jim and I walked them outside. I saw something on my car, but wasn’t sure what it was. Someone had taped a note on it:
Turns out, Donnie taped THIS NOTE to my car!
With friends like these, who needs enemies????
Read the disclaimer at the bottom of this page. Priceless!
Christopher’s baseball team wrapped up play in the county tournaments this weekend. They came in 2nd in the county. He was thrilled. Of course he would have rather won 1st place, but being that this is the highest he’s ever gone (as a player or a coach), he was thrilled. Saturday’s championship game was the culmination of a hard week.
Last Saturday was the beginning of the tournaments. Our boys won. We were to play again Monday night, but because ONE player didn’t show, we had to forfeit. It took me almost all week to get over that. I couldn’t believe the selfishness and lack of consideration of one family not only put the team into the loser’s bracket but also inconvenienced about 50 other people (including both teams and the officials). But, I digress. We played and won Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday nights. By Saturday, our boys were tired and you could see it on the field. Still, they were all happy to accept the 2nd place trophies on the field and were beaming.
I’m very proud of Christopher… he has grown a lot and is becoming the man I was trying to raise. Of course at times, I still treat him like a child (much to his chagrin), but I guess that won’t change easily.
CONGRATULATIONS, BUSCUITS on taking 2nd in the county!
Today is Jim’s parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. That’s quite an accomplishment and I congratulate them both and wish them another 50 happy years together. I thought the date sounded familiar, so I asked Daddy yesterday when his and Mother’s anniversary would have been. He said “June 6″. It amazes me that both my parents and my in-laws have the same anniversary date. Of course, Jim’s parents were married in 1957 and mine were married in 1959, but still!
There are still more coincidences: Guy-Kelly’s mother (Lisa) and I have the same birthday (different years). May 4th. Lisa and her husband have the same wedding anniversary as Jim and I (again, different years). February 16th.
It’s a strange universe.
A small rain came through the area yesterday. It didn’t rain more than 10 minutes, but it was enough to wash away the smoke and haze that has covered the area for the past couple of weeks. Yesterday afternoon after the rain was beautiful and clear. This morning it is beautiful and clear. We definitely need more rain to overcome the drought we are experiencing, but the cleansing precipitation yesterday was an early-summer gift.
