Last week was a good one and bad one all around. Tuesday, our softball team continued our current winning streak. This was even against one of the top teams in the league, or at least they were. At game time I thought by the eyeball test they looked like they were better than us. But we held them in check and started to break things open after a couple innings. In the bottom of the 4th inning, I singled and advanced from 1st to 3rd base with the next batter. 2 batters later I came home with what turned out to be the game-ending run, as it put us up 13-1 and invoked the mercy rule. The game was over in 35 minutes! That’s never happened before! We’ve been on the receiving end of it, but…anyway, with that last run, by the time I got to 3rd I started to notice my foot was hurting. A lot. Enough so that by the next morning I went to the doctor and got my foot x-rayed 3 times. He thinks it is stress fractured. So I guess I’m on the DL for a while. The following day was the last day of school for the year. Alex will have summer school for gym, though. Not sure about Nat; it’s been a struggle and a rush to get things turned in. Saturday we all posed for the new church directory pictures, and we all looked very nice I must say. We also went to the “beach” at Center and Pike Lake (such a filthy dirty lake) for a while, and did some yard work. Sunday we headed up to Michigan for the day to tend to Becky’s gravesite and visit with the Wiessners for Sam’s 16th birthday. He already has a car he paid $100 for.
