Softball

Yes, it’s true. I signed up for the co-ed team that our church sponsors in the local town co-ed league. A friend called it the “Advil league”. Made me smile – how did she know that’s precisely what I did after the first practice? Well, our first game was tonight. I got to play for 2 innings in short field and had one at bat. And of course, Roger had to have the camera out with the giant lens on it to catch all the action. Here are the token pictures to prove that I played (yep, that’s me in my nifty new sport glasses!) and actually made contact with the ball. You astute ball players will be able to tell that I was out at first but not because I didn’t run hard. The bugs were controllable with bug spray and the outfielders were very nice to tell me where to stand even though I never got to touch the ball. We lost 14 – 9 but it was fun.

The next game is Tuesday. Stay tuned…

Progress 7

We have siding! While part of the crew was working to finish the roof trim, Chris and Rick started to put up siding. The siding is pre-primed a pale grey and will eventually be painted the same color as the house. The plumber has been busy too. There are more holes drilled and cut in just the right places. And the plumber’s assistant started stapling the tubing for our radiant heat up between the floor joists. It seems like miles and miles of tubing and a gajillion holes, but we’re looking forward to the warm floors over the minimally heated garage.
