Happy Memorial Day

We had a nice Memorial Day.

Saturday started with a pancake breakfast and then spent time with the kids. Finished the laundry and got ready for my last Sunday School lesson of the season. We will see if I will teach again in the fall. I really do like it!

Sunday we had a very nice church service and lunch at Big Boy. It was pretty good and not too slow! Always enjoy a nap in the afternoon and Mary's and my daily scrabble game continue.

Sunday evening Jeff, Grace Mary Matthew and Brandon headed to Detroit. We wish Sarah could have joined us, but she was scheduled to work and since she just had last weekend off, she really needed to work. We enjoyed some swimming at our hotel and got some rest before our Tiger game today!

We arrived at Comerica Park and Matthew took his turn at the pitching cage. He did great! Matthew pitched up to 60 miles an hour, and that was without warm-ups! Accuracy is stellar. When we got UP to our seats, I realized just how hot it was going to be. Glad we put on sunscreen! Our faces are a little red, but poor Matthew missed his knees and they are pretty red and uncomfortable. The first inning started the game off right. Two runs, including a home run by Cabrebra!

However, by the fourth inning, I wasn't feeling to well. The sun and heat were getting to me, and I chose to go down under the stands and cool off where a nice breeze blew by the concession stands. After two innings, Matthew arrived to refill a bottle with cool water for Brandon and Mary, delivered it, and we were off to buy a new Tiger's Cap. He finally decided on a nice one and we went back up to our seats together, except now there was shade. Ahhhh. I was thankful that Jeff took over the scorecard. He did an exceptional job. The score was now in the favor of the Twins and we wanted a win!

The end of the game proved to be as great as the first! Had some good hits and another home run by my favorite new tiger, Victor Martinez. Back to a tie score....Bottom of the 8th inning, our Tigers were on base again and the go ahead run scored after the 3rd base umpire had to make a judgment call whether a fan interfered with the play and whether the runner would have score or not. The call did not go without a fight with the Twin's manager, who was ejected from the game. By the 9th inning, I was ready for my Ball Park Hot Dog, something I enjoy at a ball game, and the vendor came around to sell me one. What timing! Nothing better than a good hot dog at the ball park! Matthew took video of the last play of the game, a diving catch by Don Kelly! Tigers Win! Took some pictures and then headed back to our car and home.

Hot/sunny weather~Fun times~Safe Travels = A Great Memorial Day!

Here's remembering those who gave their lives so that we can enjoy so many freedoms!
