Hi everyone. I've never heard a construction project sound like so much fun
Just got the Disney Vacation Club video in the mail--haven't had a chance to see it. I'm really interested (thanks for the heads up, Mary Jo), but I think hubby may be a hard-sell. Of course, once I tell him that all of you rich people go on cruises over & over & over again for next to nothing, he might bend a little.
We went to his cousin's wedding reception yesterday. The couple is older (40's) and never married before. We've had three of those in the family recently. The weddings seem to be much more sophisticated--less traditional. Only immediate family was invited to the ceremony, but there were tons of people at the reception. Bob (the cousin) is very into food & wine, so of course, we ate & ate & ate. I'm vegetarian, and he had many vegetable choices, and I am grateful for that.
Thankfully, the rain finally ended here. Heidi has a softball game today. Dad is her coach. I hope the girls pull it together soon. Tom says they do very well in practice, then they get on the field & it's like they forget all the basics. He doesn't have one good first baseman. The girls have "holes in their gloves". He's very frustrated--doesn't know what to tell them. Of course, we have a few parents that were coaches themselves for a long time. They feel it's their duty to coach from the bleachers. One play, the dad confused the girl on third because he told her to run, run, run. And coach Tom told her to stay. Luckily, she listened to her coach.
I'm probably going to get in trouble (again!) because I'm going to tell these parents to shut up & sit down!

Tom says, "You don't have to defend me out there." I told him, "I'm not defending you. I just don't want to sit there & listen to that cr-p!" If those parents want to coach, they should have signed up. They can teach their kids anything they want at home. But at a game, the coaches need to be in charge.
Am I done venting? Yes, I think I am. I've got to go get ready for church.
Have a great day, everyone.
