End of Week Four and the Weekend at Home

           I finished my radiation appointment early on Friday and headed back to the lodge.  Muggy was up and ready to throw the bags in the car.  Before departing, I chose to prepare and eat a couple of eggs and a ½ piece of toast; I was hungry!

            Hunger satiated, it was time to point the Fit south and head for home as a grand event awaited us in Warner Robins.

            The athletic event of the season was scheduled for 7:00pm Friday night, under the lights behind the Assembly of God Church on west Watson Blvd.  The Christ Chapel Warner Robins Anthem Youth organization was playing the Anthem Adults in a “friendly” game of softball.

            The traffic encountered at the field was a little challenging as interest in the game was running high.  Middle Georgia offered up a beautiful Friday evening with temperatures in the upper 50’s at game time.  The crowd was excited in anticipation of what would prove to be a hard fought battle. 

Excited Fans

The Competitors

            The PA system regaled us with energetic songs which further served to heighten the excitement surrounding this competition.  The teams both gathered on the infield and offered some last trash talking and then a prayer for blessings over the game and all the players. 

            Seven hard fought innings ensued.  The adults stepped out to an early lead, but the Anthem Youth battled valiantly.  The crowd was on the edges of their seats.  The dancer kept the fans entertained between innings; you know who you are!!

            When the last out was tallied, the adults had prevailed 11-6, but the adults knew that this would likely be their last year of victory as the youth have some pretty capable ball players.

            And, with that, we headed home to enjoy a restful night’s sleep after a pretty long day.

            Saturday was a very, very lazy and restful day.  I did enjoy breakfast with young grandson Dylan J. and he amazed me with his concept for language arts.  This young man is a deep thinker!

            I received an amazing gift from sister-in-law Cathy, a book entitled “Growing Through the Narrow Places” by Ruth Bachman.  She’s a cancer survivor also.

            In a previous post, I had introduced you to Joe from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  He’s another cancer survivor, unfortunately, his brain has been affected and he actually thought that LSU was going to win the game with the Dawgs Saturday afternoon.  Sorry Joe!  What a great game…especially because Georgia won!

          And, speaking of winning.  Muggy, Erik and I have had a hot Risk game going for about a week now.  We concluded it Sunday evening and MUGGY WON!!  She dominated the world!!
