Mimi's Beach Party!

Kim and Tom are busy at a down town hotel putting on Wesleyan's Annual Fund Raising Gala. Mary is out of town on a girl's retreat and Mike is busy with Joe at the baseball field with team pictures and a game to follow. Of course Grandad has gone to his second game of the day, first Ford's, now Joe's, so...Andrew, Emily, Isabelle, William and I had a beach party! Sand, water and snacks, included....
In between games, Grandad was sent after boxes at Linens and Things and to Home Depot for sand so we could create our own beach castles!
































We found extra tee-shirts in Kate's room and Grandad's closets so everyone could get warm and dry to take a well needed rest in front of the TV.

Got to go...time to fix dinner and tomorrow we are all going to church! Thank be to God for the gift! Oh, the joys of being a Mimi...

..wonder what and with whom next week will bring...


Hope you had a nice week end too.

P.S. I have a few extra sand boxes for those grandchildren that couldn't join us. I'll keep them for you. :)

Ford and Joe each played well, but their teams lost. Joe got two hits and played aggressively at catcher and first base. In the last inning, his team, The Thunder, surged back from an 8-3 deficit. Joe drove in a run and scored one, as the Thunder came within one run of tying the game which ended 8-7. Ford played well as catcher, shortstop and pitcher. He threw a baserunner out trying to steal second, while he was catcher, got a very solid single and scored a run his first time up to the plate.As the pitcher, he struck out one and got two others to hit little dribblers, one of which he fielded on the mound and threw out the runner at first. I was very proud of both baseball players. Issy played in a soccer match and Ford played in a doubles tennis match this afternoon. Morgan bowled. William played on the "compoota", and counted like a busy bank teller. I am exhausted, now. Mimi plans to put all five to bed at her spend-the-night party. I intend to sleep, a little. Love to all, Grandad.
