Monday, May 15

5:45 a.m. - Yesterday was nice.  The weather was pretty much terrible, and seemed to get worse as the day got later.  I did manage to get the pool swept, but it needs a lot more attention...in fact I'm going to place an order with the online pool place to get some help.  We went to church service, and then we went to the Bakers (may aunt and uncle) to celebrate Mother's Day.  It was a good chance for me to sit around the table and listen to stories and thoughts and opinions...plus the food was great - brats and burgers and baked beans and potato salad and rhubarb pie.  That was delicious.  I think it was around 4 p.m. when I got home and then it was pretty much couch and television from that point on.  I even slept halfway decently.  

The weather is still cool today, but that's okay.  I think I have the day off from softball before the regional week begins.  I'm still not sure who my partners are at United Township in two weeks...I'm a little worried about that situation.

Today at school the halls should be quieter - no seniors.  Let's just get through the week.  The weekend weather is looking nice.  Other than that softball regional championship on Saturday, it might be a nice weekend to go camping.
