Warm sunshine … gentle breezes … BASEBALL!
It must be spring. Today was Jerod and Blake baseball team’s first practice. I have agreed to help out coaching. Daniel is also an assistant coach. The practice was good. The head coach is very good. He coached the team last year and they won their championship. His philosophy is that the most important thing is for the kids to learn how to play baseball and enjoy the experience. Winning is a bonus.
I was looking forward to getting a head start on some work around the house when we returned from Florida. My expectation was that winter would be past… NOT! The best thing to say about the 5″ of snow we have gotten is that it’s not 12″ like Louisville has. It is beautiful and we expect to get more this morning.
The Crockett kids are here. Their parents are in Lexington for a marriage conference. We have enjoyed them. Jerod beat me at chess last evening. Surely he is getting better and I’m not slipping.
It is a great day for chili, basketball (UL vs Georgetown), reading and naps. It is pretty cold so I’m not sure about sledding … maybe?
We were anxious to see the Gabeharts, so we made a quick trip to Louisville yesterday afternoon. Melissa fixed a great meal, thanks, in part, to Byron’s grilling expertise. I played pool and visited with the grand-kids. They were glad to see us and we were glad to see them. They have grown noticeably since we last saw them. I think Kyle had gotten taller for sure. It was a really good evening.
