Inside Recess

Remember when we were in grade school and we'd have an "inside recess" occasionally if it was raining or too cold outside? We'd play games in the classroom or gymnasium and it was a treat to do something different once in awhile. Today was one of those days.

I was hoping to write about Carter's exciting baseball tournament. In the first game at 9 a.m., his team came from behind to tie it. It ended in a tie -- don't ask how that works, but they can go by runs, etc., in this particular tournament. Anyway, the second game at noon started off well but didn't see an end, thanks to lightning and rain. Eventually, they just called the tournament off and sent everyone home.

That was a good call. It has rained and stormed off and on all day. I probably shouldn't be on the computer now, either, but this weather pattern looks to be with us for another 24 hours at least so I figure I better get my blogging in now.

The good news is that we were planning to have the assistant coach, his wife and son over after the last game anyway to grill out and play. Turned out the "last game" was that noon one so we had an extra-long day of grilling (in between rain showers), talking, laughing, talking some more and playing indoors. What a nice visit with friends.

I wish we had inside recess more often!
