Andy is in Tennessee for Bike MS this weekend. Today, he will ride to Lynchburg and enjoy the evening at the Jack Daniels Distillery.

He got to enjoy beautiful views along the 80-mile route.

Here is to another beautiful day tomorrow!

I love this new Halloween decoration! There is just something about a broom company…

It only took six years, but the Mustang has new tires. She is ready for Andy’s drive to Nashville tomorrow for BikeMS.

Teenagers are an interesting breed. They are grumpy one minute, happy the next, and indifferent just a minute after that. It is a good thing they are cute.

It is time to try to bake this frozen Chicago-style Deep Dish Pizza that I made. If we can figure this out, I can see some pizza making in my future. It will make some weeknights so much easier.

We are so close to owning the Mustang. We have two payments left!

“Baseball is more than a game. It’s like life played out on a field.” – Juliana Hatfield

And, life sure played out on a field today. You know those days where you struggle, make mistakes, and just cannot seem to get going? Well, those were the boys we saw today in the first game of bracket play. They were down 5-2 going into the bottom of the fifth inning and it was score or go home. Rather than concede defeat, they came roaring back to tie the game 5-5, forcing a sixth inning. When they took the field for the top of the sixth, I knew the game was over. The swagger was there. The confidence was evident. There was no way that they were going to fight that hard only to go home. They quickly closed out their half inning in the field and then went on to score on the first play of their at bat to take the game 6-5.

Sometimes, the championship game isn’t the actual championship game. Instead, it is the game that nearly does you in. It is the game that shows just how much fight you really have in you. It is the game that makes you dig deep and find your heart.

Congratulations to the Mid-MO Stars on Championship #5 of the 2021 season! Your biggest fans could not be more proud of you. Way to getcha some!
