I am back, hubby says it was 68° this morning when he got up. Of course it is hotter by now. Looks like a sunny day on tap.

Anyone need some water ? Glad to send the rain your way. Regional flooding widespread throughout the state, but it's far better than the fires many are experiencing.

We can always use rain here Sour, send some our way.

Are the baseball games all over now?

No more tournament games until mid Sept. Princess and I are heading out to the Little League World Series on Sunday.

Is your grandson's team in the LLWS?

House is getting loaded up today. maybe it will all start to seem real at some point soon.

Hope the house moving goes well Michelle! I've seen that a couple of times on tv...it's an amazing process (and a bit of a nail biter too I suppose).

No, but the LLWS is a true piece of 'Americana'. The atmosphere there is upbeat and positive. This will be our 4th trip there, and I have yet to see anyone acting in any way other than respectful to one another. A 100 % volunteer event that is well worth attending.

That sounds great Sour, well worth the trip to see a sporting event the way it should be.

Lots of memories. Very first time we went as we were walking up to the facility the Japanese team was leaving the batting cages. As each and every kid crossed in front of us they bowed and said, "Thank You". I told the Princess, "I think I'm going to like this place." Then there was the year an African team made it to Williamsport. They had no baseball shoes - they were accustomed to playing barefoot. Everyone chipped in and bought them shoes. They never won a game, but were applauded every time they entered the field. The rapport between the kids who are competitors is amazing. It's sometimes difficult to pry me out of my comfortable rut, but this is something that I look forward to.
