A Summer Evening and Baseball


Nothing says
"summer" to me more than baseball. My nephew, Wade, is one of the coaches for the Velva Legion Team. They played tonight in Surrey, which is a hop, skip, and a jump down the road from our home. Since is was a beautiful summer evening, I decided it was the perfect chance for me to experience the joy of eating a hotdog, drinking a soda, watching a baseball game and spitting sunflower seeds all over the ground. (Soon spitting will be out-lawed at ball parks in the name of sanitation-- that would be the end of baseball as we know it.) I wasn't disappointed. It was a barnburner of a game--lots of home runs and close calls. And Wade's team ended up the winners-- the score was "something" to "something else". Guess I wasn't paying real close attention. There were many distractions. One being my friend Heather's darling daughter eating a frozen icey-pop.


Now, that's summer at it's finest!
