More Baseball!

Tonight was Harrison's game.  Harrison usually plays shortstop and sometimes pitches.  Shortstop is really his position.  He made some great plays tonight and got a good hit.

Randy is working nights but was able to stop by and see most of the game.  It doesn't hurt to have a policeman on the field in case the crowd gets out of hand!

Have a great weekend!

Baseball

Both Harrison and Cameron are playing baseball this year.  Both have games every Tuesday and Thursday nights at two opposite places so we have to take turns going to their games.  Cameron's game was Tuesday night.  He's playing catcher some this year, along with pitching and shortstop.  He really likes the catcher position and does a good job.

He has another game tonight but it's Harrison's turn tonight.  We had a big rain last night so hope the game isn't cancelled because of muddy fields. 

I love baseball season but it keeps us running!

Last week...

Last week was a busy week.  Our friends Sherry and Larry arrived on Monday evening and spent a few days with us.

One of those days we drove to the Mississippi Delta, about a two hour drive.  First stop was lunch at Ground Zero in Clarksdale.  Morgan Freeman is half owner and the mayor of Clarksdale owns the other half and happened to be having lunch there that day. 

It's not a fancy place!  You can tell that by looking at the front door!

The inside is pretty cool though.

We had an appetizer of fried green tomatoes and lunch was pretty good too!

This lovely car was parked across the street.

Everything in this area is about the blues.  Love this sign!

We drove over to the old Hopson Plantation which is now the Shack Up Inn.  It would be quite an experience to stay there.  The old shacks where the workers lived are now "hotel" rooms. 

Really fancy lobby!

We were able to go inside one of these shacks a few years ago and they are pretty rustic inside too!



I think we'll take a pass on staying there!

After that interesting tour, we headed to Mound Bayou to see Peter's Pottery.  This is where the pottery is made and they have a resale shop there.

It's a family owned and run business.  I love their pottery and have several pieces.

Then we drove to Marigold where McCarty Pottery is made.

More beautiful pottery! 

Then time to head home but what a fun day!

After 12 years of driving my Jeep, it was time to get a new one.  This is the first time in over 25 years that I haven't driven a black vehicle!

I haven't driven it much yet.  Still trying to figure out all the bells and whistles!  I think the keyless start is going to take a little getting used to!  I just hope it's as good a car as my last Jeep was.  Ben has graciously taken the old Jeep off my hands!

A Beautiful Easter!

It was a beautiful Easter Sunday.  The sun was shining and it was low 80s...just perfect!

Doug and I went to early church so we were home early enough for me to get dinner ready.  I cooked most of the day on Saturday so it was just a matter of getting everything in the oven and putting the finishing touches on everything. 

Lunch got a thumbs up from Cameron!

After lunch the adults hid Easter eggs and the kids waited patiently (or not so patiently) until they were released for the hunt.

We took some family pictures, of course.

And one just for fun!

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter too. 

Our friends Sherry and Larry will be coming to visit tomorrow and will be staying a few days.  Looking forward to seeing them!

Coloring Easter Eggs!

Harrison, Cameron and I had a fun day together on Friday since they were off school.

We started with a bite of lunch at the food court in the mall, then over to see the Smurfs.

After the movie, we made a stop at Starbucks for something cold.

Then it was home to color Easter eggs.

When our kids were little Doug always mixed all the colors for the last egg and usually it turned out brown.  The grands have continued this tradition.

This time though it turned out a beautiful mix of green and purple!

The finished products.  They each had a dozen.

They are now deviled eggs for lunch tomorrow!

After coloring the eggs, the boys stuffed candy and money in plastic eggs for the egg hunt tomorrow.

The table is all set.

Most of the food is prepared.  Heather, Ben and their families will be here, plus Randy's mom, stepfather and sister.  We are ready to celebrate our risen Savior tomorrow!

Happy Easter!
