Ball Game Etc

Last Friday night we went to watch the Missions AA ball team play for something to do. On Sunday we went to the beach of course.  It was so nice to sleep in and still get to the beach in the morning.  Living a lot closer is great.  Tonight Sparky went outside and didn't want to come in so we found him playing with a grasshopper.  Earlier I put up a picture of a Texas size snail... wait til you see the size of this grasshopper.  Yes everything is bigger in Texas.  Still haven't figured out where to put my needlepoint up - got it professionally framed and it looks great.  The roses from before look alot better now with the new green matt too.  I got the fruit and veggies stretched and a spacer put between them and the glass so they will last forever as well.  Jim works hard watering the grass, plants and trees.  Hopefully the grass will all come back.  They just laid the grass next door so those neighbours should move in this week.  Jim's grass is greener than the new sod that they are laying so Jim is doing well.

Brandice is back at work now so we are having a baby shower for her this week so I knit her another outfit.  The booties are huge but they were only 3 months and they are the same size as the hat.  They will fit him eventually.  They do not get much maternity leave here and her baby is still in the hospital until the end of September so Brandice came back to work to save her time off for when the baby comes home.  Different but thats how it works down here.
