Miracle League Mariners - Spring 2014

One of our last games, Tdawg was able to come and pitch.   It was fun to watch both boys out having a good time together.  Miracle League is so uplifting.  Everyone plays.  Everyone wins.  Everyone is accepted, no questions asked.  And everyone leave better than they came.






Another Year

Another year has flown by.  Hard to believe that this time last year we were moving in! 

We have seen our share of wildlife.  Last night we saw seven deer and three wild turkeys.  They are pretty common sightings.  But this one really surprised us: a snapping turtle in the driveway!



We had to call our neighbor, Kevin. He showed us how to pick it up by the tail.  And put it in a box for transport...back to the woods near the creek.  The turtle was quite stinky and not at all happy.  He hissed and snapped like crazy.  Hopefully he has found new living quarters!

KP Baseball

I have been having fun watching my nephew play baseball.  He is getting pretty good!  Still fun to watch the younger kids.  You never know what they will do!

The Not So Bummer Summer

I am hoping that this doesn't turn into a bummer summer.  I am one week away from getting these cotton pickin' stitches out.  The procedure wasn't too bad, kind of painful.  Done with local anesthesia in the doctor's office.  A few more stitches than I expected (Cletus counted seven). And the stitches really aren't that bad.  But apparently I am allergic to the waterproof bandages.  The adhesive area is now raw and painful.  And in a valiant attempt not to rip my stitches out, I am on limited activities.  No swimming. No golf. No bowling. Nothing too strenuous. Ugh.  That leaves skeeball, putt putt golf and walking.  Ho hum.

Well, it won't last forever.  I have been to the library twice already. It is sad when you read all of the books your favorite author has written.  Can't they write faster?  Catching up on my fav's latest endeavors, I read four books last week.  But now I am forced to try new authors.  So I researched the latest Agatha Mystery author award winners. Wish me luck.
