and they're off

The hubby and his buddy Jerry are off to Jerry's trailer in Adams/Friendship are for some turkey hunting, so here I am with time to myself again.  Hopefully I can be more constuctive while they're gone than the last time. ;-).  Wouldn't bet on it though.  Odds are not good.  How long they will be gone is anyone's guess.  They took enough for a week, but if they get their turkeys early they just might come home early.

Spent the weekend attending grandkids events.  All day Sat. in 40/50 degree windy weather watching Aaron's school baseball team.  Though I had a good time talking with d-i-l and her mother was very disappointed in the games.  That they lost both ends of a double header was bad enough, but to sit there and watch a team and they had didn't play him was disheartening.  He's a pretty good pitcher and hitter but he isn't what you would call the swiftest runner.  They did let him hit 3 times in the second game but couldn't see that as 3 teens came and sat right in front blocking our vision.

Sunday we went to see the school play Nicole was in.  Alice in Wonderland.  She wasn't a main character, just in guards but the play was great.  Alice was played by the choir directors daughter.  No surprise there, though she is good, but the caterpiller stole the show.  Much more animated and actually sang better.  Nicole did tell us 'Alice' had a cold, so I'll give her that.  She has played in civic theater so she isn't a novice.

That about covered the weekend here.  Now heading out to see what you all have been doing.

  1. I hope the weather warms up a bit so that you can get out and do things while hubby is gone. Do you cook the wild turkeys if they get some?

    The grandkids are keeping you busy. Sounds great to me. I would have loved having a grandchild.

  2. Funny you should mention turkeys. I was driving through suburbia yesterday, going to a mall when I saw a rather large turkey standing in someones drive way. It's not a typical sighting around here.
    You're agood grandmother.

  4. Oh, my hubby would love to be going with your hubby! He has been an avid hunter all his life, but since he retired last August, his hunting has slowed down....thanks to me, mainly. I guess I keep him busy. lol

    I agree....you are a good grandmother to go sit in 40-50 degree weather with wind to watch baseball. I always loved playing baseball as a kid, but to watch it without having a relative out there playing would be so dull....just not as exciting as basketball or football. My relatives would not agree with that statement as they all play on teams and they attend Ranger games and little league games and big league games. They are baseball fanatics!

    It's been a long, long time since I have seen a school play. This post makes me remember when my brother played King Arthur in Camelot and ALMOST broke up with my now sister in law for the girl who played Guenevire (sp?). They had to kiss in the play. I remember walking in the room and telling him to tell Joan Hi and he shushed me....the one and only time he ever almost cheated on her. I am so glad he came to his senses!

  5. Sorry about the cold my friend, I feel guilty...we hit near ninety today while so many are cold however...I'd say this is about the first time I remember us ever being warmer than everyone else at this point in the spring so I'll squelch the guilt some! I will spend today celebrating my wife's birthday today over a nice meal out...nice treat and a different routine for a change! Have a great day!
