Summer, baseball and other musings

Tis' the last rose of summer--but not in Texas.  The heat has been unbelievable.  Today, however held a great surprise.  My husband and I were taking a walk in the Sam Houston National Forest which is so close to our home in this gorgeous part of Texas, and the strangest thing happened. 

Not a pack of wild hogs, or a scary copperhead, or even a family of very spooked possums--all encountered on oone of our walks, but different stories.  Today in the heat of August, we came to a point in the trail that a breeze swept over us that I swear felt like it was from a refrigerator whose door was inadvertantly left open.  How cool--literally and figuratively.

I love summer.  I am really loving baseball.  Texas Rangers baseball to be exact.  I can't help it.  I have tried to be an Astros fan, but when we lived in Fort Worth, we fell in love with the Rangers.  One of my favorite parts of watching Rangers baseball is our announcers, Josh and Tag (Josh Lewin and Tom Grieve). It is like hangin out with friends.  They are so natural and so excited about baseball.  That genuine spirit is immediately obvious when you listen to them.  That genuineness is all too rare these days.  Sometimes it's hard for people just to be real.  But I digress.

Football Season is knocking on the door and before we know it--Basketball.  Don't get me started.  Being a Dallas Maverick fan was in my pre-nup.  I have really become a sports fan.  And how much more we enjoy our sports.   We decided to get a new Television.  We were watching a 1989 model, I think it was time.  We got an LED.  It is sweet.  Clear and beautiful.  So much fun.  Life is good.  Time with family, enjoying sports, watching the last roses of summer outside my family room door.
