A. D.D. pictures

I really miss the real games at
Minute Maid Park...

but in spring training, by the 7th inning,
players run/walk
the outfield while the game is still going.

A family nearby had a long
discussions about this bird...eagle
or what??? There were 4 huge nest,
on the light poles.

This looked like a good idea, around
the 8th inning.

just plain pretty!

something else...
Norris is an Astro pitcher, and I noticed
that as he approached the pitchers mound,
he wrote something in the dirt with his finger
and then said a prayer... just curious what he wrote.

Playing on the Roof

At the end of the day, Marcus decided to
clean the roof. My job is to watch, so he
doesn't fall.

The roof isn't much of a challenge...

but the screen cover is a mess...so

just get the pool broom, and walk the
frame work.

I kept all my fussy thought to myself,
but Marc claimed that he hear them
loud and clear. He did not!
I tried using the pool net to get the
floating pollen junk out of the pool.
But Marc found that an old window
screen did the trick much faster.
He's hired as my pool boy!

St Patricks Baseball

Marcus & I drove to Lakeland FL. to see the
Astros play at the Detroit Tigers Spring
Training field.
Notice their Ball Boy

The ground crew stops to do YMCA

This character promoted a Resturant in town

Left field fouls...come to me!

Even the bases were green....what a fun
time, but it ended in a tie.

Extreme diving

Alex was here for a few days...
And indoor skydiving is always
a treat for these two guys.

They both do this with such ease!
Marcus prefers sitting in the air.

The wind blown look!

It was a short but sweet
visit.

All in a Day!

One week ago, we were in Montreal Canada

But, by 5pm Marcus is pitching for the YMCA
softball team in Orlando.

Opps! A line drive did this to his watch!

And this to his wrist.....

so, off we go to the E.R. (after a good meal)
No major damage.
All in a day!

"No! I do It!...

I am a slow learner! So, Morgandy reminded
me several times, that she did not need
my help!

"No Gee, I sing to bunny!"

No, Gee, I read the book!"

"I dress myself!"

It's so much fun watching this little one
become independent...love it!

The Answer is....

Gee (Grams) & Papa


We met Patrick, Myra & Morgandy
in Montreal Canada this past week-end.

What a delight to have this sweet girl
pull at our heart strings!

Here she is at a amazing resturant,
It has been featured on one of the food shows
and the food was classic...(I know I'm not doing
it justice, but I had better things on my mind)

What a treat to see how much this sweet
girl loves her Papa...they had some special
times together.

She knows where she is allowed to run,
where the area is free of people, here in
the underground mall/metro area.

A carriage ride in Old Montreal, with
Silver, was another week-end adventure.

After these outings and more, her Mom
ask, "Morgandy, what is your favorite part
of this trip?"

"Gee & Papa!" she replied.

I bet you know what our answer is, also!
