Still waiting!

Yes we are still waiting for the new motorhome which is not due in until August 10, 2013, but I keep hoping it will be in early!

In the meantime, we are keeping busy!  Ted had lunch with his friend, David Prime, on Wednesday the 10th.  On Thursday we met Jeri and Stach and their grandson, Trent (the baseball player), their granddaughter, Mallorie (the recent graduate) and her boyfriend.  Jeri's childhood friend, Sherri was visiting from Northern California and she joined us all for a picnic lunch at La Jolla Shores.  It was a beautiful day down there with little spits of rain every so often.  Sophie had a good time with all the attention she got from everyone!

Friday at noon I drove to Pacific Beach to the Alehouse to meet former co-workers from Hawkins and Scott, CPA firm.  I had worked with Bill Staley the longest and he gets the guys together once a month.  I was the mystery guest!  I had not seen most of them in quite a long time and it was fun catching up with them, seeing how they were doing and they all looked great!  Bill has retired and the other four have their own CPA practices.

and the Ring Leader...Bill Staley!



Friday night Sherri (Jeri's friend) had a small group going to Lips so Jeri had never been and we decided to join them.  Our little group of 7 had a good time and a lot of laughs.  Sherri's friend Rene is from Texas and visiting San Diego with her Dad who is turning 80.  Rene and Lloyd went up on stage, Lloyd was a little embarrassed.  It was a fun evening!

Sherri and Jeri!

On Sunday we drove up to Fullerton to watch Trent play baseball.  His traveling team, The Show, won both games they played on Saturday and they were in first place.  We got up there at noon and the Semi-final game started at 12:30ish!  They brought Trent in to play right field in the third inning.  He hit a great ground ball between 2nd and 3rd getting through to the outfield!  That hit brought in an RBI and he was safe at first!  Trent stole 2nd (the first of the game) and scored on a hit by one of his teammates!  The Show went on to win the game 14-4!

The Final game was supposed to start at 4:30 and finally started around 6:00 p.m.  Trent was brought in the 3rd inning and played right field for two innings, catching a great fly ball!  Trent came in to pitch in the fifth inning and closed out the game.  Score was 10-3 Show winning the tournament!  It was a very exciting game even though Show won by a lot!

The kids played great offensively and defensively and it showed!  Here they are getting their medals and fooling around a bit!  Trent is standing at the far right!


Ted had taken the baseball picture so when I downloaded it I also found this one of Sophie, far right by the pink dog and four of her five brothers and sisters.  They were all pretty cute, but think we got the best one (of course)!


There was also a great picture of Chip, our middle nephew on his camera!
