A short week at work, and not much happened this week. The whole family did go to N Manchester on Wednesday to deliver dinner to a family in our church that someone had surgery this week, and that's nearly all that happened this week...Saturday we all went up to Nappanee to Coppes Commons mostly for something to do together, but we found it closed (except for Rocket Science) when we got there. Otherwise, I'm working, Alex is working, Beth is working (a little), Nat is working, Missy is looking (Lowe's hasn't called her back since telling her the computers were messed up with her employment, but she doesn't want to go back there anyway). Beth and I also went to Lowery's to pick out some fabric for the camper curtain that I took down because it wouldn't stay up any more. It's a northern woodland animal scene, should be cool in the camper. Now I have a sewing project. Saturday there were a few graduation parties to attend for kids from church. 

The biggest event of the week was softball getting our first win of the season! And it was one that we'll still be talking about 5 or 10 years from now. We were playing a doubleheader, and in the first game of the evening, we played Harrison Center pretty close for the whole game, trading big innings and small, until we were down just 1 going into the last of the 7th. I was hitting the ball pretty well all day, had a bunch of singles, scored a few runs...and with 2 on and 1 out, I hit a high fly ball that while it was caught, it drove in the tying run. In their half of the 8th inning, our wheels came off and they scored 8 runs. Then in our half, their wheels came off and we scored 9. I even scored the winning run. That was an amazing game, one the likes of which I don't think we've ever been in before. So we got the W 20-19 in extra innings, then lost the second game of the doubleheader 18-6, a mercy loss. I guess we were spent.

There was an unusual occurrence today: I was on van duty for church but I had to run home to get Natalie to work on time in between services, and shortly after dropping her off I ran back home for something and noticed a hissing noise coming from the front drivers side tire. And I found the source easily enough; there was a big crack with a big hole in it. The tire's time was up. I knew it was coming sooner or later, though, so not a shocker. I was able to get the truck over to Discount Tire across US30 from us before it went totally flat; I was walking home when the Purvii saw me at the intersection and picked me up and took me home. Which was nice, so I didn't have to walk across 30. So now the truck is sitting in the parking lot there and I'll have to deal with it tomorrow.
