Tucker's Baseball Game ~ Eggs In Bell Pepper Rings ~ Bird Sex


Good 50º WINDY morning. Another 1/2" of rain yesterday and last night.


Yesterday was Tucker's first baseball game of the season. His team is the Texas Rangers. Tucker is catcher. It warmed to a not-so-spring-like 55º with intermittent showers and finally by the end of the game we had full on rain! Sami entertained herself with fence climbing....



 

Tucker was GREAT as catcher. He hit the ball, ran bases, all good! He really can throw that ball and with base runners on the move, he really did stay on top and make the right plays!






Jean and I held down the bench in the stands, Jen took pictures and was the 'team mom' in the dugout, Brian was asked to help out as a 'base umpire', Sami never sat still.... A fun afternoon. With all the hits and base stealing, the game ended between the Rangers and the Orioles in a tie!

 

LOL, from my friend Dale. This is really sad, but so true!

Sounds like Tucker's baseball game was a lot of fun to watch. Like the pictures of the kids, and Sami climbing the fence.
This is really sad, but so true! Yes, Obama has been busy destroying America as it used to be and as we all loved it. What a shame that the demoncrats and the media support him in this!
We love the Jackie Chan movies. He's got such a great sense of humor. E.

Me thinks Tucker has a future as an athlete and Sami as Spiderwoman.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the housework jokes.

Alas, the message came to late to save me from housework):- Or maybe it was last week's procrastination about all things domestic.

I have a magnet on my frig which reads" A woman's work is never done because she is never home to do it."

Have a GREAT day.
