Take Me Out to the Baaall--Gaaame
Robert and Kathy invited us out to Whataburger Field to attend a Hook's game on Sunday evening. We have been asked several times but have never been free... this time it worked out. We finally got to go to a game. I was soaking it all up! The venue is really nice!
We walked in and I could smell the cotton candy. I didn't see it, but I knew it was there somewhere and I had to have it. Ahhh... there it is! Robert and Kathy got dinner... I got dessert!
We found our seats in the bright sunshine. The field was well manicured and we arrived just as they were doing a tribute to our troops! The crouds cheered.
It was all very heart- warming and patriotic. The flag was waving.
I had a great time trying to get pictures of the ball in action. I think I did pretty well. The pitchers were fun to watch. They all had their ritual stance.
The batters and umpires were fun as well. I was never any good at baseball but at least I kind of get the rules.
Kathy and I took a walk around and I ran into an old friend from childhood that was working at the field. She told me to get the guys and bring them over to the shady side of the stadium as there were plenty of empty seats available. You didn't have to tell me twice. It was much nicer out of the hot sun.

BYC Boards & Dogs Day
We watched as Bruce tried in vain to get it back out of the water. Neil and Larry took one of the sail-less boats out to rescue him. It was all very pitiful. Poor Bruce. He was all wet! They gave him a centerboard and he sailed the boat back to the dock. Here they are giving him crap about it all. Everyone had a good laugh about it though. It's such a good group.

Third Annual Rockport Yacht Club Lighthouse Regatta
We finished upat the boat. Some of our crew left for home, Steve and Jacque joined us at the Rockport Yacht Club for the festivities and dinner.
We ended up with a third place trophy for the day's troubles and joined the BYC bunch as we swept the awards. We had done the club proud!

A Couple's Shower for Mark & Laura
I was presented with a very nice hand made vase as the hostess gift. Thanks Mark and Laura! The party wound down and the guests began to depart. Nothing left but the cleaning up and as Mother took most of the fruit home, there was not much else left. My kids were absolutely fabulous and worked like beavers until the house was all back to normal. An hour after the last guest left, it was like it never happened. We were all tired but glad it had gone well!
