We'll start with a almost ball game and then bounce around Leonardtown.
We were all feelin' a bit blue after this. The Young Men were going to the All-Star game between the Freedom and Liberty Divisions of the Atlantic League. There's something magical about Farm League Baseball.
We got to the Regency Furniture Stadium, Home of the Blue Crabs, and you could feel the excitement in the air. It was sorta like a small county fair. People were happy and looking forward to some fun.
The Atlantic League's Freedom and Liberty Divisions were squaring off for bragging rights.
Teenagers, right? Thing is, he evidently beat Matt over to the cow. You grabs your fun where you can, right?
We got settled in and were ready for some baseball.
I love the small, intimate stadiums you get in Farm League Ball. There's not a bad seat in the house. You really get the feel of the game at this level. Regency Stadium is a bit smaller than Cohen Stadium in El Paso but just as exciting.
At least it was until the rains came and they brought the tarp out.
While we waited for the skies to clear, they broke out a camera and scanned the crowd. Chris made the big time on the scoreboard. See'im!?! He's the dark spot just left of center!! Oh, yeah!!
We got a little excited when they started to roll up the tarp. Dried off our seats and got ready for the game and....
C'mon, hurry up!!
Shake a leg, ya'll!!
Uh, wait. Let's put that sucker back out, 'Kay?
And it came down. A lot harder than it had before. It rained and it rained and it rained....
We all crowded under cover and waited....
and waited.... and then gave up around 2055.
It rained for a good part of the ride home.
It woulda been fun but it wasn't to be for us.
Addie does love the camera and, obviously, the camera loves her.
Frances took me for a walk around her neighborhood. The large park at the end of her street. Kinda nice, eh?
Here's Miss Frances posing for me.
Got to meet Chris' friend, Norton. Grabbed this before she could scream and turn her head at the All-Star game Chris played in.
The All-Star and his proud Mom.
Ain't they a pair!?!
Geez, I need this kid's job. Chris hard at work at the pool.
He's the lifeguard.
Addie got into her Cheer uniform to help her Big Sissy sell them some candy.
Here they are!!
Gooooo, Raiders!!
Michelle conned me into making some Southern Style Potato Wedges one night. They wuz good.
I like this. Michelle got this as her White Elephant Gift at the Reunion.
Possibly the best gift given.
That's it.
Some randomness now that I have no claims on my time.
More adventures to come.
