Texas Spring/Summer Thread

That sure is a purty red swing. I need one out on the dam of my island pond.

Anybody remember, or have, a glider? It was a couch on a curved rail that rolled back and forth. Mom and Dad had one out on our screened in back porch. My brother and I fought numerous times who would get to ride and who had to push it along with their feet.

Brandi--I still have a (Heavy metal-takes 2 men and a small boy to move it) Glider that belonged to my Aunt & Uncle. I remember it from when I was a kid. I need to have it refinished. As a joke on my Grandfather, my uncle painted it "Dr Pepper" green because Grand Dad started working for Dr Pepper in 1927 and was truly a Company Man. I don't know if I should go with the "Dr Pepper" green, though.

Got call from school had to go pick up little man,he done fell off the monkey bars. Took him get X-rays,two slight fractures in his right arm. He is more bummed out of T-ball for the season,first game was Monday and he plays pitcher.

Hope he gets better soon. I fell out of a tree at age 6 and broke my arm. I remember getting the principal and superintendent to sign my cast in 1st grade.

Jim,
So sorry to hear about your son. Really a bummer about no T-ball. I always hated it when I was too sick to play in after school sports. I used to love to shag fly balls that Dad would hit to me, but my arm wasn't strong enough to throw real far. Like deep outfield to home. Dad broke his wrist one summer and was still able, with one arm in a sling, to throw the ball up and hit it with the bat all with one arm. A kid never forgets stuff like that. Only thing my brother or I ever broke was our collar bones from getting thrown off our horse, named Salty. He really was salty!
hugs, Brandi

I just returned from my sons last college baseball game. 14 years from little league, legion, high school and college watched a lot of baseball, threw lots of BP and played a lot of catch did a few years of coaching. GREAT MEMORIES. I hope your son is doing good and still supporting the team.

Yeah I also coach so he will still be there. He doing good,says he wish he hadn't played on monkey bars now,lol. He is 6 and this is his last to year play T-ball,next is machine pitch would liked to have had the 3rd yr to get him ready. Now we will have to try find new one to play pitcher and not many kids have even played before a lot to teach in short time.

Yep, here, too. Yesterday was the first time this year that I sprayed REPEL on my myself before going for a walk in the woods in the local park with the dog because the day before I got lots of mosquito bites. Fortunately, I haven't been bothered by them around the house.

Nice looking field and mower. What brand is that?
Looks like we're getting rain all week.
