2016 Mary-Clayton and Will
2017 Matthew
2018 Will
2019 Anna

The last two times we had Mellow Mushroom pizza for lunch at work I got sick by 6 pm - probably because I had eaten too much. Friday I only ate two pieces. Left work shortly after 1 pm and headed toward the ballpark. Met LJ at Yearwood's office, and we walked from there. Got there early so we walked around The Battery. Stepped inside the Baseballism store but not much to see. Tossed the ball with Darrell on the green.

Walked around once the gates open. Saw several friends. Was so hot I drank two Coke Zeros. Nice breeze blowing in our face on the third deck. Good game. Braves gained another game on the Nats and secured their position in second place. Took 3 of 4 from Toronto and 2 or 3 from Washington. I'm watching more and more. Dansby's home run Friday night came during the RaceTrac inning, so I got $5.00 of free drinks on Saturday.

Walked back to the car and stopped at RaceTrac on the way home. Was going to drive through Taco Bell but the line was long, so I didn't eat. Got home and had to take Anna up to Roswell to get her car.
Saturday I cleaned some upstairs. A and C went shopping. Took Anna's Jeep to get gas, but had to make a second trip to check out her taillight. Then I drove up to Roswell to RaceTrac and three thrift stores. Found a nice Nike golf shirt, a red Braves T-shirt, and a grey Braves jersey that fit perfectly. I had been wanted a grey road jersey, and this one is great, with ATLANTA stitched on the front, not laser cut and unreadable like the current jerseys (see yesterday's post).

Came home and started some laundry. M got off work and went thrifting with Anna. Drove Ceil to the Dekalb Farmer's Market. Got home and C cooked pizza. W&MC drove from Augusta to Auburn AL for a wedding, then drove back late Saturday night.
Sunday morning Anna went to JFBC with us. Had chicken salad for lunch, then A left for her summer at Camp Highland. I did more laundry, test drove M's car, watched the Braves, and hit golf balls. C had to go back to Decatur for fabric. M went to Passion City Church. He got home late and brought home Chinese food, so for lunch I have that, some ravioli - and Brad brought leftover BBQ from his son's graduation party.

From the early 1940's: looking north at the Peachtree and Wesley intersection.
