A day at the ball park

I took this while we spent ALL day at the ball park. My team won first place! 😀

Hang with me here

I think it’s obvious why I posted this picture. It features something quintessentially autumn. What do you mean you don’t see it?  …Beans!  It’s the beans, of course. Wait, you mean that you don’t think that autumn = beans?

Okay, I can tell you’re not buying it.

I’ll confess: I just wanted to post this because of something fun we did tonight. We had a dinner at church with the youth group and their families.  It was a “Crazy Cafe.”  You may have been to one of these before.  It’s a four-course dinner, and you order all four courses up front, four menu items at a time. The catch? All of the menu items are in code, so you don’t know what you’re ordering. You may end up with a big ol’ plate of beans and only a knife for a utensil, if you get any utensils at all. And that’s what happened to Linda here. She was a great sport, and we all had a great time!

(I promise I won’t write a book for each blog post. But hey, I’m a writer so I guess I can’t help it!)  =)

“Fall Ball”

Fall Ball

Today was spent at the softball complex, so the only pictures taken were of the granddaughters’ 7 games we watched.  Since I want to only post 1 picture, it will be of the girls together!  (Em’s team took 1st place!)

The “Fall-ing Ladybug”

Summer Outside, Fall Indoors

Like you, I love fall!  And when September rolls around, I don’t care if people are still flip-flopping around and passing out from the heat. Without apology my fall decorations come out of hibernation. Here’s a small sample.

“Eat something green!”

Anyone remember when you were a kid and you hated eating vegetables? And your mom or dad would always make you eat something green because that’s the color of vegetables? One time I got away with eating pistachio salad just because it was green (it’s not vegetable related AT ALL!). I’m taking that concept for today’s picture. This leaf is not autumn colored because it’s autumn. It’s that color because it’s dead and caught in the branches of the tree. But, just like having to eat something green colored, this one is close enough for me today.
