April 24

Oh my I can not believe I have not made a post since Feb. Let me try and catch you up.  First Harry and I have decided to stay put this summer.  A few reasons, we missed our grandson ball games and all star games. My parents are healthy but are getting up in years. With that said I feel the need to stay home for awhile.
Cody has games on MON and WED. evenings. He plays catcher and is awesome. He also beginning practice for all stars. Ryan is not playing sports this summer. However he and friends on Saturdays play paint ball. Just a few weeks back Galveston hosted a professional paint ball tournament. According to Ryan several well known players took to the field. I was totally out of the loop didn't know any of them. This is a expensive game but he has lots of fun.
We meet up with a some friends a few weeks back. They are camping buddies we made a day at Kemah Boardwalk We are trying to plan a trip for Sept 2012 to Priest Gulch Co.  About 8 of us made the trip a few years back and the fun we had. Lots of fishing, long drives on very narrow roads that wind up and around the mountains. Higher you get the colder and of course the air gets thinner.
Well let me get back to the present. Besides baseball we have a busy summer.  Gonna make a trip to Houma my cousin granddaughter 1st birthday. Ms Sophie such cutie big dark brown eyes. A smile as large as Texas. Of course her honey keeps her dressed so sweet. In fact I don't think she has worn an out fit twice.  Then we will visit with Carla and Chester they have built a dream retirement home in Livingston. Just a few miles up hwy. 146 but still closed enough  to their grandchildren . We also get together for our bunko games. Yep us 12 we all go way back, kids in softball, band, football, and much more.  The sassy sisters will be having a girls night out in Houston. Janie has a birthday in May so what better way to celebrate. I can you a sure wine, martinis, PF Chang, shopping, and massage is on the agenda.
Then the Saturdays will be at baseball all stars games. Sitting in the hot Texas sun being fried to a crisp and then melting in the blistering heat. Believe me I'm not, complain I'm bragging my grandson is awesome. 
Our Easter was GRRRRREAT.  Lisa and Janie came in which is always a treat in it self.  We all began with watching Drake baseball game Thursday evening..He plays first base and pitches. They did lose the game but he had the largest fan section. Aunts,uncles, grandparents, cousins, sister, mom and dad just to name a few.  Friday I made breakfast for a lucky few who were at moms. Big batch of gravy and homemade biscuits.  The pan was licked clean and not one crumb on the biscuit pan. I got a new hair color.
Saturday the tradition of dying eggs and our craw fish boil. The kids had such fun looking for the hidden eggs, and we had a bouncy for them, they could fish and feed the horse's. So lots to keep the kid O busy.
Sunday dressed in our new Spring clothes we went to Easter service. For HE HAS RISEN we had an guest preacher.  So after services I promised Harry fried shrimp and that's what he got.  I gave up fried food for lent. So my man was so ready for something greasy. Homemade fried shrimp oven baked fries. YUMMY
My friends it is late and I have a busy Monday so I shall night.
Be safe
