All-Star Softball Week

Hi Everyone,
Wow, it was a busy week. Sorry for not posting. Most of the week my wireless was down at home. Boy, is that ever unhandy! It's amazing how much I use the Internet for this and that. Everything from recipes to the weather forecasts. Madison played with the Concord Major Softball team in the all-star tournament this week. She had games Monday through Thursday. They were only 1-3 at the end of the week but they were a very competitive team and I think learned through the process. We came really close not even having an all-star team so I'm really glad it all worked out to play. I have a special "in" with a big guy and all of our games were at Concord! I didn't even know that was possible (it's not supposed to be possible). That made it easier for sure. I picked out and ordered the uniforms. They have their last names on the back. Their socks are white with the black outline of softballs all over them. Don't they look sharp?



Other events of the week...
I had 2 flat tires on Monday. I was coming back from picking up a player's jersey from the screen printing shop (long story in itself) and my cell phone rang. I answered it and at the same time ran over something in the road. A few miles down the road, both my right front and right rear tires were flat. I was talking to Tonya on the phone. Within 15 minutes she and Tim brought me their second vehicle to take and use for the rest of the evening. We borrowed Gordon and Cynthia's spare tire (they also have a Honda Odyssey) and Tony was changing tires at 9:30 at night and it was after 10:30pm when we ate supper at home. I felt really blessed to have a vehicle to drive so quickly though. I was on a tight schedule to get to the all-star game and didn't have time for a flat tire... let alone two!!

Here's a picture of Quinn as we get around in the 'hood with our van on donut tires. I felt lopsided for 2 days! ha! The kids were embarrassed to ride with me!



Other than that, the kids have been finishing up their 4H projects, they are due this week. It's a beautiful day today and we are looking forward to a much quieter week.
