Starting over sucks!

Baseball Never Ends

When softball and baseball season started this year, I had no idea how it would affect me.

With each and every game, my heart grew more fond of not only the game...but the sense of community and family that it brought to my heart, as well. I haven't felt more "at home" than I have in years. Sitting on the sidelines with my family, cheering on my daughter as she learned the "door knockers" approach to holding a bat this year. Or, cheering on my great-nephew in his orange socks as he tore around the bases. And, the latest was cheering on my nephew, and his dad, the coach, as their team went all the way to the County tournament.

I felt like I knew every player...as if they were part of my family. I felt victory in my heart with every base hit or home run, as well as the sad disappointment with every strike out or caught pop-up.

The season is over for my family...but luckily, it will come around again in the blink of an eye...

I loves me some Christina...

Road Trippin'

I had a great holiday/long weekend! ROAD TRIP!

Went to see a friend in Chiloquin, Oregon over the holiday. Had a great time! And, the drive was beautiful. I love that drive in the summertime. Fun, family, holidays, and small towns....that's my idea of a nice time!

On the way home, I took a side trip to Medford, and then north to Canyonville to visit my brother. We had an awesome visit, and I realized how much I wish we'd spent time together when he only lived 15 minutes away, instead of three hours.

Took time to relax on Sunday, after the long drive. I think I might be ready to get back to work tomorrow. Shhhh...don't tell anyone! :-)
