D17 hit two long line drives that went over the fence last night! Boy was he excited! We all were! Pretty sweet for a kid who spent most of the spring season warming the varsity bench.

Lots of baseball this week, and the weather could not be nicer for it. D17 continues to polish his shortstopping, although last night he also pitched. It’s so much fun in the summer when the pressure is off. We enjoy … Continue reading →

Angel’s Attic is a big thrift shop in our community whose proceeds fund a community medical clinic.  It is a really good cause.  We donate lots of stuff and buy lots of stuff and I’m so grateful they are here.   … Continue reading →

Scott’s doctor attempted to inject some drama into our otherwise humdrum existence this week by dramatically aborting his EKG stress test and declaring he’d seen enough to know that Scott needed to hie himself to Nashville, post haste, for a … Continue reading →

Roses and hydrangeas look really pretty together. I have a row of hydrangeas that had a really rough time last year because of a late, hard frost. Last year they did not bloom at all, but this year they are … Continue reading →
