Birthday: Mary and I agreed to celebrate at Red Lobster. I had a DELICIOUS Strawberry Daiquiri and a steak.while most others ordered seafood. Of course we all enjoyed the biscuits and calamari! I thought it was pretty good. We enjoyed dinner as a family with Grandma and Grandpa Wilhelm, Grandma Heumann and Brandon. Back at home, we had ice cream cake for dessert! It certainly was a wonderful day!
Softball: Monday means softball. Our team seems to be having a nail biting season. We went into extra innings and won in the 9th with a score of 11-10. Sarah played a great game and caught a line drive right to her, the pitcher. She pitched a great game too and kept the team motivated. It isn't going to be the same without her, now that she will be working in Holland the rest of the summer. She is the heart and soul of the team. Matthew will be back for the next game and I will be playing my last game of the season, due to my upcoming surgery on the 16th. I hate to stop playing ball, but my feet hurt way too much. I had a good game with a couple of good hits. Too bad the shortstop had to catch my last hit.
Scrabble: Visits from grandma wouldn't be the same without a game or two of scrabble. Both games were finished using all the letters. Grandma H "won" the first game by going out first, then I used my last letter first the following night. We had some awesome words!
Surgeon's Visit: Matthew had his follow-up visit with his surgeon on wednesday. The doctor said everything looked good and he could do and play anything he wanted too. The only rule is, "if it hurts, don't do it"! Matthew is so happy, can't wait to play ball again. He is even back to cutting the grass. Matthew's last day of school was today, but he still has to make up work for Geometry. I think it is great that he made up and took the exam for the rest of his classes. He will work through math and take two tests and an exam in the next few weeks. He sure had a tough road the past few weeks.
Goodbye: Wednesday we saw Grandma Heumann off to the airport and she arrived back to Florida safe and sound. Grandma and Grandpa Wilhelm left early Thursday morning and travelled to Wisconsin. We hope that they have a nice time with Aunt Bobbie and Uncle Bill.
Moving Day: This morning Sarah was all packed up and ready to go back to Holland. We loaded up the van and were on the road by 10 am. Sarah's new little house for the summer is very cute and she has her own room. I took Matthew and Sarah to lunch at Steak and Shake and then we got some needed items at Meijer and got her all settled. She is just across the street from the field house and the from the soccer fields. She came back home with us so she can be her for Mary's graduation open house. Then we will take her back Saturday night.
Open House: Things are nearly ready for the Open House. Mary has a lot of her decorating done and we have all the tables, chairs and tent ready to set up in the morning. Jim is bringing the food at 11 am and I have all but the cake and ice bought.The menu: BBQ Pork Sandwiches, Baked Beans, Chips, Cake and Drinks. Guess I had better get up early to get everything done in time! I think it will be a nice occasion. The weather is supposed to be HOT with a chance of showers. So glad out friends lended us their tent. We hope to get to a couple open houses in the early evening.
That is all for now...Have a great Saturday!
