May 2024 - First Baseball Tournament and Band Concert

Peonies moved from 810 S. Second after Mom passed away in 2015 have finally reached the point they would make her proud.  Until this year, each bush has had 2-3 blooms.  This year, each had 12-15 and are gorgeous.  I brought in a bouquet for us to enjoy.  They made it, Mom!!!!  Will never be as beautiful as your peonies patch, but it makes me smile to have at my home something from your home that you were so proud of.  You would make bouquets for me to bring home each year.

Jomar Thomas Mintun was born April 25, 2024 at Fort Myers, Florida to our nephew, Mark's son, Thomas Mark Mintun and his wife, Janine, weighing only 4 pounds - 4 weeks early.  On May 6, he is still hospitalized but is doing well.  

First of three baseball tournaments for Garrison was this past weekend at HomeField close to The Legends west of Kansas City.  They struggled as they are a AA team and it was a AAA tournament, but they learned some valuable lessons along the way.  Garrison's best hit was a bases loaded triple followed by him stealing home, making the score tied.  He pitched, played catcher, first base and outfield.  We had a fun weekend with Amanda and Peyton (Chad was coaching), and our friends, Channing's grandparents, Cherry and Kent Mickelson.  We went Friday night for 2 games and Sunday for one game.

Saturday night, we took our friends, Dennis and Debbie Sieger to dinner to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary a bit early at Rockin' C Bar and Grill in Garden City.  The food was delicious with large portions - a fun evening.

Amanda had her piano moved to the new house this week - looking good.  The rest of the big furniture arrives tomorrow.  We will be going to Peyton's band concert tomorrow nigh as well.  We plan to take a welcome to your new home basket to them before the concert.

We will spend the weekend at the baseball tournament #2 at the same ballfields as last week, beginning Friday night at a 7 p.m. game - Saturday at a 4 p.m. or 6 p.m. and unknown what time Sunday, depending on how they play at the other two games.  Will be good practice for Cooperstown coming up in a month.

I went to the pain clinic this morning.  Will get shots like before for sciatica on May 23.

We are blessed - God is good.
