Weekend

Friday and Saturday the Gilbert/Murphy events continued. They’ve been staying at their grandparent’s house, off Lower Rowell . Friday C, W, A, & M went to lunch with MC and her mom. Saturday they had an extra SOM ticket, so Anna went. They went to Steak & Shake afterwards, and didn’t get home til 1 am.

Anna had a long day Saturday. I drove her down to the Red Cross on Monroe Drive for babysitting training. She was supposed to have a lunch, so I hit Chick-fil-A real quick and got her a chicken biscuit. She really appreciated the brownie.

Will’s fall team, the Hooks, comes close to being as good as his East Cobb summer team. They cruised to a 17-0 pasting of a younger Sandy Plains rec team Saturday afternoon. Will’s coach saw the opponent and trotted out a weaker pitcher, batted everyone, and let the younger players play defense. Batting leadoff, Will went 2-3 and scored three runs.

Before the game I watched Will’s home school team play another SP rec team. I knew several players on each team, as well as the umpire. The game plodded along…lots of walks and errors. Both teams had recruited Will to play this fall, but it looks like he made the right decision. Had he played on either of those teams he would’ve pitched more, but he plays to the level of those around him (as do most people). There are several hitters better than him of the Hooks…that should keep him working.

My father-in-law has allocated some money to buy Will a car, so I was looking on Craig’s List. Ceil wants him to get something “big.” I wouldn’t mind spending less, in case something needed to be fixed. Any suggestions?

Last night C, A, and W went to Passion City Church . Matthew went to get water from the fridge dispenser, then the water wouldn’t stop pouring out. I couldn’t fix it, and finally had to shut off the cold water for that section of the house.
