A Full Day




Saturday morning started at 7:30 at the baseball field with Blake's first playoff game, the game actually started at 8 a.m. but they have to be there early. It ended at 9:45 with a victory, so Tuesday we go for Payoff game #2 which is going to be difficult to win since our First Baseman is going to be on Vacation. Blake had to quickly change in the car so we could make it to his good friend Travis's B-day party where he played video games, played Putt Putt and rode the bumper boats as seen in one of these pics. Then it was a quick trip to target and lunch and a quick change into our swimsuits. We then picked up his good friend Mitchell and we all went out to the Country Club for a swim (3 hours). We dropped him off had dinner and practiced hitting baseballs for an hour then Mitchell came over to spend the night. Blake fell asleep and Mitchell came into our room and wanted to go home - Blake had told him a scary story and he wanted to be in his own bed. So 10 pm I call his mom and said I was on my way to bring him home. This morning when Blake woke up he came in and asked where his friend was not knowing what had happened. That will teach him to tell bad stories!

The Beauty of Nature


I couldn't resist stopping and taking a picture of this bloom. It is a litlle something Mildred Pinkston, a former resident of Preston Place planted outside her apartment and it comes back every spring/summer even more beautiful than the year before. Each time I see it I think of her.

New Furniture




My bedroom walls have been freshly painted and the new furniture delivered. I haven't got around to hanging anything on the walls yet, but I've been busy. I am very proud of myself for making my bed each morning and keeping my room picked up, that is not something I am very good at, I rather spend my time with my family and doing fun things that all that cleaning stuff. What they say is right though, if you do a little everyday it is much easier to keep things up. Since I am going on three weeks with keeping things clean it has now become a habit. By the way if anyone is thinking of buying black furniture, think again...you have to dust it all the time. I'm not saying I made a mistake because I love it, it's just more work.
