Last name was supposedly be out last softball game of the season -but we do have another one rescheduled for this Friday night. Here are some pics I took of the girls playing last night's game.
WE did not win, but the other team which is the hometown I live in -Hellam - was the undefeated champs in our division 14-0. I'm glad to see they did it. Even though we did lose.

Camping trip 08
Ok, I don't think I ever shared our camping trip pictures with you all. We went camping in April upstate in PA for trout opening weekend. The guys wanted to try this adventure out as we packed and headed to Raystown Lake camping/fishing for a cold bitter windy weekend in April (which I will never ever do again). It rained, and rained -and was windy and more windy -we lost 1 tent, a few canopies and it was just plain down muddy muddy.
The only good thing was the food...........here are some pictures to share.
We plan to go camping with this group again in August -but trust me, it won't be cold and rainy this time.

Birthday Surprise
A birthday surprise showed up in the mail today for Steve -his birthday is August 2nd, a little early birthday gift with a big smile. And of course its a REDSKINS handmade quilt from his mom in Virginia -- it is very nice, the detail on the quilt is amazing -- it has football embroirdered images on the background and even a football in the corner which is personalized from his mom. She's a great person and she said it took her about 2 months to get this quilt already to go.

the new JONQ
OK, who is JonQ?
Well, its the old FDP band we love to go watch on weekends. They played at BALLOONFEST this past June '08. I'm a little far behind downloading photos to my blog. Here are some photos I took while watching them play at Balloonfest, needless to say it was a VERY HOT HOT NIGHT when we went here! But it cooled off once the sun went down, no balloons launched this night due to it being a little windy --but at least we got to see the boys!

Softball Season 2008
Well, we believe softball season for spring/summer is over, our last 3 games of the season were forfeited this week due to lack of players. I guess vacations and camps took over this week and our season went too long. Its a shame you pay 75.00 for your girls to play and they end up forfeiting almost 4-5 games this season due to lack of players.
I thought this picture below was a neat picture as it was taken at the tournament they played in this past weekend, nothing like an action shot!
We ended this year with many losses, but better luck next year PINK PANTHERS!

Summer
Well, the summer is going good. Its been HOT here in the northeast the past 3-4 days, very humid and in the 90's......hoping today for that too end. The swimming pool is just simply PEE WARM, I think my mom said that yesterday although she'll deny it. But it was so true. It wasn't quite that warm, but very warm --- I think pool water temp is like 88 degrees.
We have our last 3 softball games this week and than on to fall softball season for Taylor. You no sooner finish one season and start into the next.
I cannot believe July is almost over and into August -next summer will be over. :-(
Hope your weekend was fun. We finished out a tournament on Saturday -we loss but maybe was a good thing cause it was so stinkin HOT --but I really wanted to see the girls go a little further than they did.
Yesterday we hung in the pool most the afternoon and finished with ordering pizza last night. Taylor is at a friend's house doing a sleepover and should be home this morning.
That recaps our weekend. Hope yours was great!!!

13 days
Its been 13 days since I blogged last, is that an unlucky # maybe? I hope not.
So much going on.......summer is definitely here, and its hot again --- trying to use the swimming pool as much as possible plus finish up our softball season for Taylor's games.
Alot has changed in our household and things I'm hoping look good in our future. Its alot to mention but just put it this way -- its a good thing! And only time will tell as each day goes by and I'm taking it 1 day at a time.
I just picked up 3 more routes for the paper delivery, come July 27th we will no longer deliver on weekends, yippee! skippy --so looking forward to that. But also means a cut in our profit checks each month so I need to do something to make up for that, so I took over our old routes we gave up back in April. Its only 50 more papers and alot of foot work instead of car routes, but the exercise will be good. I'm just now getting back in the swing of delivering those old routes. On hot days it really stinks.
I'm working busily with ebay stuff right now and keeping busy on that end of business. Paying bills and now caught up -feels great!!!!!
Well, hopefully I can blog a little more each day and get some photos added and get back on track for end of July, have a great summer!

a Long Week ahead
We are expecting a long week ahead of us preparing for subbing a paper route for a friend. I have to get up each morning by 3:30 and deliver his papers and than turn around and deliver my own route in the afternoon. That consists of 7 days straight. I am going along this morning to learn the route. What joy! We don't officially start til this Sunday -- or next Sunday the 29th. But I am just preparing myself for the long week ahead......the money will be nice.
Have a great week now that summer is officially here!

This Week
Well, I didn't get to blog this week -- things were busy but not much to blog about. The weather has really COOLED off here in PA making the evenings in the 50's and no AC's on, which I love. Springlike temp's, I won't complain.....today although I hear the humidity is coming back but the temp's are still only in the 80's for the entire 5 day forecast.
We were to have 3 ballgames this week, now down to 2. Thunderstorms ruined one game earlier this week, and we finally won our 1st game!!!!! yeah! I think that gave the girls a boost of encouragement and hopefully we will play well today.
I have some photos to show of some events the past weeks but haven't uploaded them to computer yet, hopefully this weekend I can.
We plan to chill this weekend and just hang out -no big plans.
Have a great weekend!

I didn't get a chance to blog yesterday -was a busy day and decided to head to bed early. But I just wanted to shout out a big HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to everyone and specially my own dad. I included a photo below which I know my mom will just dearly love seeing her photo on here. But its the only photo I have of them on my computer --- HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD! Hope it was a good one!

day at the PooL
I haven't been to the pooL all week so today I decided to try it out and do my work route later than usual. It worked out fine -as long as I got to the pooL early and spent about 3 hrs there.
Tried to get some photos today but Taylor was too fast and the one I did get I promised her I wouldn't post on my blog.
The pooL was just so nice today -lounging on the rafts and taking in some sun. My tan is rocking! so far. Just wait til end of summer!!!!

a Better Day
Yes, a much better day today --- humidity has dropped here in PA.
Tonight Taylor had her last meeting/ceremony for GIRL SCOUTS. This is her completion of her 7th year in scouts, wow! Not sure if she'll continue next year or not. She's at the age where they lose interest. 8th grade. We will see. They have a camping trip in July to go to finish the year.
She plans to attend.
Its late, time for bed here 10:30 p.m. --- and I'm tired. I'm ready to do a swimming trip to the pool, all week I pass a large community pool and see everyone in there swimming while I'm working on my paper delivery route. Because I deliver from 1pm -3pm during the peak hours of the afternoon, I hate that. So, I'm hoping to get to the pool in the next 2 days.
Have a great night!

so HOT
Its been so HOT here the past 3 -4 days its miserable. With temp's in the high 90's and humidity so unreal, the pooL feels great. Even yesterday the water temp's are in the high 80's in the pools that it feels like bath water.
We are expecting a storm to go through anytime now and cooL us down. I cannot wait cause tomorrow they are calling for 80's and even overnight tonight in the 60's,.........should be good sleeping weather, cause even with the AC's running, upstairs is so muggy - its just uncomfortable.
We are having a heat wave here in the northeast, and boy! is it HOT!

Yard Sale
We are having our annual Yard Sale this Saturday -although we start tomorrow. I'm trying to make a little extra money by putting my inventory leftover (scrapbooking) out for sale. Plus, cut a few title words and sell those --- I'm cutting them right now. So, I figured I had some time to blog.
I haven't blogged much this week. Just no time......
Well, the cutter had stopped so I better get back to pricing items.

the new Flowers
Last Saturday over the weekend we got a few flowers for outside, our flower beds are dull and no color -so we visited a local farm to buy some -in fact they are called SMALL FAMILY FARM, that's their business name.
Below is a pink flower on the right that Taylor just had to buy --so I thought I'd share this pretty pink flower with everyone! It just looked like spring!
