A Winning Day . . .

Well, Saturday found us back at the ball fields. Josh & James had tournament games today and both did great. James' team won 8-2, despite James getting his shoulder dinged a bit near the end of the game. Lora was able to get a good picture of James batting.

In some ways, Josh's game was even more exciting. After taking a pounding for the first two thirds of the season (they lost one game 25 - 0), they came back and nearly beat the top team in their league last week, even though they only had 7 players. Today, they were one player short and still won 19-2. Next week will be interesting!

In spite of all this excitement, Grandpa Don decided this would be a good time to catch forty winks.

Grandpa Don shows his enthusiasm as Josh hits a home run!

The other highlight of the day was a visit from my old college buddy, Mike Carper. Mike & I met at Kearney in 1983 and he was an usher in our wedding. We have lots of good memories of war games, concerts, nachos, movie marathons and other stuff. We had a great time visiting. Mike's knowledge of history and literature are pretty daunting, so there's never a dull moment. I read a bunch of Cliff's Notes right before he came so I could appear somewhat intelligent . . . . .

Do these look two guys you would trust?
