The Outcome

And...They're Off

Three from the troop are off to youth leadership training.
Yep, these are tomorrow's adults...

Remember Rocky Road Candy?

Last night Beau learned how easy it is to make.

Casey's baseball team made the city play-off this year.

Today was the semi-final game, and Casey's team drew the "visitor" position, so they batted first, and didn't score in the first inning. Bottom of the first, and the opposing team scored two runs while Casey's team made a few defensive errors and seemed a little rattled.

Second inning, Casey's team got two runners on, but had two outs by the time Casey came up... And he hit a solid single to center field but actually got to second base on the throw to home -- where the team scored two runs to tie the game. With the next batter up, Casey advanced to third on a wild pitch and then home on the hit.

My kid changed the whole tenor of the game. He drove in the tying runs and scored the go ahead run, and the team never trailed after that.

They play in the final tomorrow.



Meanwhile, Beau leaves tomorrow for three weeks of camp. It's so gratifying that he's eager to go to camp. And so unbelievable that he is so grown up.

Is the Cat Not Getting Enough to Eat??

When she came to live with us, Pixie was still a bit skinny, so we pretty much filled her dish anytime it was empty. Well, she filled out fine and was starting to get a bit plump, so we started portioning out her food -- giving her the recommended amount for her "healthy" weight.

She gets fed twice a day, and each time she polishes off her measured amount in one feeding, then roams around the house begging for more -- which makes her very affectionate.

Yesterday, I came home mid-day to find:



She was so hungry, she mauled a loaf of bread...
