Well Saturday felt like a summer day with temps getting close to 90 by late afternoon as we were settled into a 11 AM baseball game that went the full 2 hours and by the time we left the park it was going on 2.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my morning routines as we had to leave before 10 to make the game so I had a big breakfast for a change from just an apple to some leftover fried tatters and a couple eggs. Afterwards I headed out to hand water the gardens as I knew it would be late before we got back from Brandon. The interstate coming and going looked like a parking lot and on the way home we crawled for several miles through Tampa. Where did all these folks come from and where were they going, oh well.
The game was very close and Gabe pitched well but his catcher made an over thrown in the last inning and they lost by a run 8-7. Too many bad throws as they were at one time up 6-1, but with some fielding errors they let the other team back in the game. I ran the score board for the game and at times helped the umpire out as his memory waned from time to time. Gabe had all of his mothers side there as well as Katie's and our side there, so he had a huge rooting section.
We went bad to Bobby's for grilled burgers and a the huge salad we brought from home. Cousins Tammy, Rich and Brooke were there as well and came back for lunch. The boys fell asleep at the game then slept another 30 minutes or so after getting home while we had lunch. We gave them one of Nancy's chocolate chip cookies and they loved it. We stayed and played with them until nearly 4 then headed out.
We made a gas stop at Sam's as well as for some goodies before getting home around 5:30. I headed out to hand water the gardens and then we had a lite supper of some already cooked shrimps and cocktail sauce. I headed in to watch the Lightning play the team they beat for the Stanley Cup at 7. Well the first period was close but after that the Bolts beat them 5-0 in the next two periods.
I tuned into an hour of the Oak Island saga after my shower and before my 10'ish lights out for me, LATER
