With my job, the summers tend to slow down for traveling. So, it's been a lot of baseball games and working from my home office. However, last week Jason had football camp at Grand Valley, so we stayed in Grandville for two nights. He was at camp all day and I was visiting with customers.
It was a actually a nice little non-vacation. Both nights we were there we went to see the West Michigan Whitecaps. They are the Tigers minor league team in Comstock Park. I have also taken Jason and Ira to see the Indianapolis Indians, but that game was rained out in the 3rd inning. I love the minor league games, they are action packed and family oriented. The first night we were in the 4th row behind 1st base. We were close to all of the action between innings and the first baseman even through Jason a ball from the 3rd out of the inning.
He had so much fun that he wanted to go back. The next night we bought lawn seats and sat in left field because that is where most of the foul balls go. This crowd was lame. They didn't get excited, they didn't cheer, they didn't even clap. So, since this night was not nearly as full as the night before we packed up our blanket and moved back to the section from the night before. At least, that sections gets into the game.
We came home on Friday and had baseball games Saturday and Sunday. Plus a friend of ours had been staying at our house since Thursday. So, Ira and I went out with him Friday night and we all went to dinner Saturday night. On top of that, I decided to finally start painting my house. We have lived there for 3 years and I have only painted 2 rooms. So, now I have paint for the living room (and hallway), kitchen, and Jason's room. I already have paint for Ira's kids room, so that just leaves the basement, upstairs bath, and our room. I am hoping to have the living room (3 walls have 1 coat on them) and kitchen done by the end of June (maybe Jason's room too) and the hallway and kids room done by the end of July.
So, that is all for now. I will try to write more over the next week.

It's definitely summer...all that baseball means it for sure! Painting...I have some painting to do. Maybe I will get inspired. Mine is boring trim though. Maybe I'll paint the front door red (or orange like the back door)!
Nice to hear from you. Sounds like you're having a fun summer with your boy.
I can't believe you have been in that house for 3 years! It seems like yesterday that you were buying it. Time sure flies, huh?
