Louisville for the Games

I've been trying to update all day and, even with Rose and Jalen assistance, finally gave up with the one I started this morning and decided to start all over again. Chris brought me half way to Louisville which was to Mt. Vernon, IL which was where Brick worked for GMAC even long before I met him. I'm sure it was just a wide spot in the road then and isn't much more now but maybe a wide spot in the Interstate. Pete and Janet called with their weekly called during our ride en route. Beth was in Kansas City city for the wedding of a friend so I haven't seen her yet. Rose and Shirley are in Sedona and had to wait an hour to get the car they rented in Phoenix and first thought their luggage had been lost in St. Louis. By the time they got settled in their room, Shirley was homesick. Brother Joe spent his birthday in Liberty, MO. celebrating his granddaughter, Lydia's's, graduation from William Jewell College. After Scott and I got here yesterday, Brayden had a baseball game. He played first base. This is not his favorite position but I was certainly proud. Scott was the of the scorekeepers. The coaches want Brayden to be one of the all star players this summer but he's afraid that if he he does it will 'ruin his summer'. They also want Scott to be one of the coaches but he doesn't want to coach if Brayden chooses not to be on the All Star Team. Today Brayden had a soccer game. Neither Scott nor Chris played soccer as kids but this was really exciting. We thought the score was 5 to 1 of which Brayden 3 but one of them hit a post and didn't count so the referee didn't give his team 5. Nevertheless, it was a great game and I could get in to it. He has another baseball game tomorrow. He and his friend are outside playing basketball right now. Scott is cooking hamburgers on the grill for dinner. Beth will be home late tonight. The grill is out by the grill and he's probably dodging balls. The soccer game coincided with the Cardinals game but we got home in time to see the Cards lose. Did you see that, Linda? Sad, wasn't it?
