We went to Mason's TBall game tonight. They won. It was their last game. They finished in 1st place. They played a great game. I was totally impressed with the other team. Their coach was as good as ours. There was no screaming at the boys. It was just play and enjoy the game. It was a very relaxing game. The other team also had a little boy on their team that suffered from . He couldn't walk alone and could hardly use his hands. He was able to bat. His mom carried him on to the field and the coach helped him stand at the T. He took the bat with one hand and just barely knocked the ball off of the T. He then tossed his bat and his mom would walk him to lst base. He never tried to go past 1st. After 1st he went into the dug out and his mom sat and held him. It was such a moving site. I can not express the appreciation that I felt in my heart. Some for the fact that the Mom was determined to let him play ball, even in 100 degree weather. Some for the fact that the coach was giving him a chance to be like the other kids, and some for his team mates. When he would bump the ball both sides would start cheering and clapping as that sweet mom walked her child all the way to the 1st base. At their teams last outfield the coach let this little guy (Ricky) play catcher. The Coach held him the whole inning. They would try to put the glove on his little cripled hand. The coach would toss the ball ever so gently to him and he would pitch it about 2 ft to our coach. And the smile that would come over that little guys face. I had to fight the tears back. It was so moving. That is what the game of baseball should be about. I was blessed to be able to watch this very special game.

I haven't been on here in almost a month. Where has my time gone? Today I took a digital scrapbook class. I think I am going to enjoy it. A very special friend taught the class. She did an excellent job. I worked on a 2 pg. layout of Mason's field day. I still need to embellish it, but it wasn't that hard. Tomorrow I may play some more. I am excited about Country Scents starting to do the Operation Write Home program. Tuesday should be our 1st official workshop. I already have some cards made. Mason colored them for me a couple of weeks ago while I was at my Stampin Up club. He was so good, and I was so proud of him. He used his best manners.

My friend Debbie R. went with me today. I love spending time with her. I realized today that I think we only lived a few streets a part growing up. It is such a small world.
