Yesterday at softball I had one of my better days at bat. First inning I'm leadoff batter and I walked and we loaded the bases but failed to score. Bridgeport gets up and scores 5 runs. Over the next 5 innings I go 4 for 4 and we score 19 runs and Tamarind Grove beats Bridgeport 19-10, the game is called after 6 innings due to time. The way that game started I didn't think it would end like that.

Today I played Glenview 'Fox Run' to 'Stirrup Cup', only the second time I've played that course. From the blue tees I shot a 39 on the front nine but ran out of gas on the back nine, temperature around 95 degrees, ended up shootinga 46 for an 85 total.

Tomorrow my wife and I are going to LSL with 3 other couples to see 'Petrina', it will be our third time we've seen her. With her spiked blonde hair and singing mostly British pop tunes, she's probably not what most villagers would listen to. That's why I like her, she's different and makes me feel younger. Sometimes too much oldies can make you feel old.

Thank you all for posting your stories, every one of them made my heart smile.
I need to thank my husband for the nice drive yesterday. We enjoy our rides together, we talk, laugh, and have a great time. I greatly appreciate that he'll do all the driving, gives me time to point out all the idiot drivers there are on the roads.... ...and besides, if I drove on some of our long cross country trips, might just take too long... Mike has this funny aversion to, as he said, "Driving 20 mph in the breakdown lane".... Did I mention I really don't like freeways?

All positive last week and this upcoming week!!
Took our visiting 7 year old granddaughter to Treasure Island Beach yesterday. Waves, water and sun all perfect for a great day. Went for a wonderful horseback trail ride Saturday. Now it is another week of Camp Villages activities and somewhere in a Family Pool the rest of the time. We have to try a different one each day.

Have a great time, Jim...sounds like you have an active week ahead of you....

I met a guy with a lovable dog. The dog is a caregiver. It will climb on a bed of a cancer patient and turn the pages.

Man's best friend INDEED!!

I was looking through facebook and found a post from my daughter..in the post she was telling everyone what a good mom she thinks I am and how much she has learned from me and loves me. It was so unexpected and so neat.

Yesterday, through Facebook, a woman found me and got in touch after 40+ years. She is in England, when she was 19 she worked for us as an au pair one summer. Now we are both grandmothers. We exchanged emails and photos. Delightful surprise!

Just gave away bunch of stuffed animals to the National Children's Center as a prelude to moving permanently to TV. I wanted to give away all but my wife wants to still keep some and my son telexed and told me to keep some from his past memory bank. Felt good though that some kids will be enjoying the animals again. Otherwise it's packed away in the attic.

Won an extra innings softball game...finished just before the rains came!!

Watched 12-year-old grandson, by way of web cam, play 3 baseball games at Cooperstown Dream Park, NY. Grandson's team finished 2nd out of 104 teams. His team recorded 9 wins, 1 loss. He had 3 home runs. Love the web cam!
Beats a phone call with results.

My golf game got rained out today. A blessing based on the way I was playing.

Today Mike and I took a drive around the area...out to Inverness, Floral City and some other small communities. May not seem like much to many of you, but it was a ride on some back roads, through neighborhoods and something that wasn't the easiest thing to do in the part of southern CA we moved from. It reminded me of the Sunday afternoon drives my father would take the family on....always through the country where we could admire nature, see other towns, communities, neighborhoods. It was lots of fun, well unless my sister or brother would take up some of my room in the back seat....

Next.....

Something positive that i experienced today?... ..reading all of these wonderful post. Thank you for starting this thread!
