The softball team cam crashing back down to earth this week. We were playing one of the weaker teams in the league, and although we started out hot (7 runs in the 1st inning) we got cold soon thereafter and at first let them back into the game, then got blown out. I didn't play because of the foot (which I kinda doubt is really fractured, based on how much it doesn't hurt now) which is still too sore to run on, but we had a couple extra guys show up to play so we had no problem. Anyway, Thursday all 5 of us headed to the storage unit to get the pool stuff because it is supposed to start getting hot again very soon. It was actually remarkably easy to get the pool out of the unit and into the back of the truck, considering how herd it was to move there last year. I started filling it in the evening, and Beth continued it Friday so by the time I got home it was almost full and I could add the chemicals. We'll see if I have better luck controlling it this year (don't bet on it). There are also about 6 pinhole sized leaks, including one in the inflatable ring, that I will have to patch before they get bigger. Tiny little water jets shooting out all over! But the big news for the weekend was Marve and Beth's wedding. It, and the reception, was held Saturday at Stephanie's house outside (nice sunny day, fortunately). Beth and I were supposed to make the fruit salad for the reception party (for like 60 people, so we made a lotttt) which became their wedding present. Beth C was about half an hour late...to her own wedding???...but things did go on after the delay. Judy officiated, which was cool. We stayed until evening at the reception and headed home.
