Friday, Aug 23rd, 2019……
Not much planned for today. We got called over to help unload a bench
that my sister and her neighbor found at a yard sale. Once we got back, I took
a fencepost out and drove it in the ground so I could rope off a tree to help straighten
it. Over a year ago, we had seen this little thing growing next to one of our bushes and I
wanted to pull it out. It was a wild seed from one of our trees up toward the front of the yard. Problem was, I forgot to do it and never asked Kirk to
do it either. Like I said, that was at least last year. It has grown and nobody did anything about
it. It’s turned out to be a nice tree and it can grow where it is and will
shoot up above the bush that’s beneath it. I had Lydia come out and help me and
I tied the tree to the post and pulled it as straight as we could. I think I
can do better with Kirk’s help next week. I also dug out two of the three trees
that Kirk had transplanted over a year ago from my sister’s house to a nice spot along our driveway. Too bad only one made it. Lydia stayed out and helped with that too. We cleaned up and then came in and rested and later had a nice dinner. We finished up the evening
watching tv. There are no LL games today so I got some of my other programs
watched.
Saturday, Aug 24th, 2019…… Today, the kids are back to
baseball again. The two top international teams met and also the two remaining US
teams played. The winners of each (Curacao and Louisiana) go to the
championship game tomorrow afternoon. The losers (Japan and Hawaii) will play
the consolidation game tomorrow morning.
Today was
also the day we had on our calendar for the Christman’s bbq/pool party. For
those of you who have been here before, they are the first house on the left
when you turn on our street. So, at 2:00pm we walked down and joined the party.
We had a nice meal and met and talked a bit with most of them. Some of the kids
and grandkids went in their pool. After a few hours, the party wound down and
we came back home and had the rest of the evening to rest and relax and watch
tv. Of course, I had to get monster puppy out for a while to give her some exercise and
let her run a bit after being in the house most of the afternoon. I finished up the night catching up on the Saturday races
and went to bed late after a long day.
Sunday, Aug 25th, 2019…... Nothing on the agenda today. The
Little League games started early and so did I. Hawaii was outplayed by the
better team from Japan. Japan gets third place. Later, the championship game
started. I remember seeing the final game when we were in Williamsport in 2012.
It was exciting to say the least! And this game did not disappoint either! The
kids from New Orleans took charge from the first inning and easily dominated
the Curacao team. Final score was 8-0. I had watched the Louisiana kids from
the regionals and they were my pick to win it all. I was also hoping to see someone
other than Japan or Korea representing the international side so when Curacao
beat both of them, that made it work for me. Maybe one day we will get back
there for another round. It is certainly something I would recommend that everyone
go see at least one time.
The rest
of the day was spent watching more races but I finally got all of them caught
up. We had leftovers for dinner and watched some more Guys Grocery Games. We
also talked about plans for next week. We are excited because Frances is coming
up again to visit and this time, she is bringing Raymond with her! It will be
fun. They will only be here for three full days so we are trying to decide what
to do while they are here. We know we’ll take them to the Enchanted Forest and
the Carousel. Maybe we will go up to Silver Falls and let Raymond run up there.
Maybe the fish hatchery too. We’ll see…
