@ossobuco,
heh heh - I can only imagine Osso. It can be hot here too. We have 4 seasons...short spring, long summer, short autumn - what seems like a long winter. Though it's not really. Just really brown. I am ready to see green.
I hope it warms up for everyone soon. It feels like spring here. Great weather. Chilly at night (so I sleep very well with the windows open) and really mild during the day.
Baseball is great Stormy. We have had several practices. The 11 year olds are a little rusty. Hoping to see some of that clicking of a well oiled team here soon. We don't know many folks on our team - which is odd for us since we have been on the same one for the past two years. So the boys are getting used to each other. J is having to find his place again. Because he is a utility player, they generally have to put everyone else where they play best and my sweet J gets put with what's left. I am not sure where he will play yet. Coach is still rotating the kids. We have one child who did not start playing until this year - which I think is great that he is willing to start - but I know it is hard on him. Most of these kids have been playing since they were at least 4. He seems to be catching on pretty fast though.
Dutchy - of course we know why she did that. You are such a sweety - how could she not?
