Softball this week continued a winning streak! We won 11-5, and we've been playing really well! We started out with a big lead and started to let them back into it, but eventually pulled away. We basically haven't been making the big mistakes that we usually do. Thursday this week was the Middle School awards program, in which Alex and Missy received their honor roll and high honor roll awards...and Alex won an award from his technology class that was pretty cool...a 3D printed tower thingy that lights up with an LED. Speaking of technology, the repairman from Collier's was here Friday to repair the A/C, and it seems it is on it's last legs. It's old enough that in a couple years it won't be supported any more, and they won't be able to get parts for it. It seems to me like an A/C should last more than 20 years but after an exhaust removal system renovation and $1642.50 of repairs, the repair guy tells us we maybe have a couple years left and we should start saving for a new one. Anyway, the rest of the weekend was the long one, Memorial Day...and we're not camping again this year, nor are we doing a garage sale, or anything else for that matter. On Monday we went to Fort Wayne, mostly because Beth wanted us to go pick up her anniversary present (don't tell her, but it's a ring that she picked out herself) at the mall. We had no other plans, but it was a nice day so we thought maybe we could go geocaching as well. There are a bunch at Shoaff Park, which we had never been to before, so we thought we'd go check it out. Well being Memorial Day the park was pretty crowded, and I neglected to bring the GPS and we had lousy signal for the phone, so we made a pretty weak attempt to geocache and then quit with no finds. But the park is very nice, we'll have to remember it. The river runs through it, it's very wooded, and there's playgrounds and frisbee golf and hiking trails and such. It's be a good place for caching when we were better prepared.
