Happy Independece Day!!

I want to wish each and everyone one of you a wonderful and safe Independence Day! I hope you are enjoying good friends and family, good food and good times!! As for me, hubby and I are in the start of Baseball Tournament Season. It started July 3rd and normally runs for 2 weeks, however this year we were awarded the 9 year old and 10 year old Pacific Southwest Regional, so we will not be done until July 31st! It is a lot of time and work, but we sure enjoy it, we have been doing this for 17 years! We have made a lot of wonderful friends along the way and enjoy watching the kids play. There is nothing like the smile of their face after a base hit or fly ball catch, or scoring a run! My favorite is the player who is just your basic player but tries so-o-o hard, and when they get that hit, you cannot wipe the smile off of their face for a week! Of course there are tears when they lose, however, they forget about the loss the next day, and start all over again! I am doing a little stitchery at the games, so that is very good for my soul! I also want to wish all of my Canadian friends a Happy Canada Day! I am very grateful for my family and friends and most importantly, my freedom and Independence!
