We spent most of the weekend (and a lot of the week) helping Mary Jane move into her new apartment. She had several people cancel on her so we asked our small group and a few of them came to help Saturday morning. She also had a box truck, which we all loaded up, plus our van, plus our truck, plus the Presslers' truck, plus her car, plus another truck from her friend, and we got everything moved in one take. Except for a few things (sofa, chair, junk) that went into the dumpster and some other things (freezer, china cabinet, etc) that I hauled to Our Father's House. It took longer to get the stuff moved back in because her new place is on the 2nd floor and just halfway in between the elevator and stairs so it was a long carry either way. But we got everything unloaded and hauled up, and a lot of it put away (or at least put somewhere until she can figure out where she wants to put it. Between the all day move on Saturday and the other one-off loads we hauled over on several days during the week, we got her all moved.
Softball played a wild one last Tuesday. The first several innings was kind of a clown show on our part. Nothing was going right in the field, to the point that I remarked to a guy on their team as he came in to second due to another error "this is not our day." We couldn't do anything right, except for the fact that we did score a few runs along the way. Then things pretty much changed abruptly for the last few innings, culminating with us scoring several runs in the top of the 7th to take a lead of 14-13. In the bottom of the 7th, their first two batters got hits so they had runners on 1st and 2nd base with no outs. Then the next batter hit a sinking fly towards center and both runners took off immediately. Mike W caught the ball sliding after a hard run, then fired to me at 2nd base. I stepped on the bag, lead runner out, then tagged the other runner who was standing on 2nd by this time, trailing runner out. Triple play. Ballgame. In all my years playing softball, I have never seen that happen before! Incredible!
