NOW FOR MARCH 2010

Belated birthday wishes to our special daughter-in -law Karen Lemley on March 3. She enjoyed a quiet dinner with Roger. What a way to celebrate your 29th birthday! March 8, had my routine checkup (6 months) and my cholesterol is going higher. We are trying a new medicine (6 tablet/day) Welchol. We will see in 3 months how it is regulating my cholesterol. Statin drugs are out...I can't tolerate them. NOW IT IS BASEBALL AGAIN: Preston is playing for the Dodgers, 8 year olds as first base. Of course, he missed the first 3 games due to breaking his arm while skating while visiting his grandparents in Harpersville. His arm was broken at the elbow but healed rapidly. He enjoyed having a cammo cast. He is back in the game and hitting and catching the ball like crazy. Rob coaching the Dodgers. Sawyer is playing up a year in 7 year olds with the Cardinals. He plays pitcher, catcher and out field as needed. Sawyer is bunting and hitting the ball well and keeping up with the 7 years olds, Of course, he loves to play ball 24/7. Coach Pat Smith is the Cardinal's coach. All the coaches and teams at the park enjoy the competition and team spirit. FUN IS THE NAME OF THE GAME AT THIS AGE. Games for the boys are on Saturdays and either Tuesday or Thursday during the week. Lots of going to pull for our grandsons. Ken and I enjoyed traveling with the Vestavia Rebels Baseball team during spring break. The first tournament was Thursday in Huntsville; then on to Tennessee to play an afternoon tournament. The parents of the team put together a fun day at Lynchburg, Tn. There was a tour at the Jack Daniel Distillery ; then lunch at Mrs. Bobo's. We certainly enjoyed the hospitality of Mrs. Bobo's . Thanks to the parents for putting together a fun time for parents/guests before the afternoon games while the boys practiced. Rebels made us proud! Brenda, Asa, Ken and I stayed the night back in Huntsville. Saturday, we went over the Etheridge, TN to tour the Amish Community. This was a very interesting trip to see how the Amish live wth no water, power and take care of their huge 12 plus children. GREAT TRIP.
