It was a pretty quiet July 4 weekend for us this year. I barely realized that I had Friday off until it was happening. We didn’t get any fireworks, and we didn’t go see any. Sunday we did all go see the new “Jurassic World: Rebirth” movie in town, which was really fun and enjoyable although more of the same for the franchise, and dead-on predictability of who would live and who would get eaten by dinosaurs.

Also during the weekend the lawn tractor broke. Somehow, not sure what yet. The engine still seems to run just fine, but all of a sudden in the back forty it just quit moving. I had to push the thing all the way back up to the house. Not something I need right now... 

Tuesday the softball team had the first of several doubleheaders scheduled in a row (to make up all the rainouts). The good news: we were playing both games against the team in our division that hadn’t won a game all year. The bad news: we didn’t have several players including a pitcher, so suffice to say we didn’t have our best team. That manifested in us getting blown out by the winless team twice, 19-4 and 23-4. Which immediately catapulted us to last place in the bottom division…. But we have fun!
