Boys of Summer -- Ryan Style




Today has been pretty much of a lazy, but very good day. This morning we went to watch Ryan at his batting lesson. He's only 10, but believe me, he swings that bat like a 15 year old! What a special little boy.
I took these pictures through the netting. I'm a bad photographer at the best of times, and these setting challenges were certainly beyond my skill level, but perhaps the photos will give a bit of a picture of our young athlete.




















After Ryan's lesson, we shopped at "Whole Foods", an upscale food store. It was a great field trip -- wonderful pastries, fruit, vegetables, and a great meat market.

Once we got home, we did some organization of things, junked out the car a bit, did some laundry, and visited. We had a bit of a thunder storm and that is so upsetting to Ginger. You wouldn't know it from this picture. She is a lovely, gentle Golden Retriever, but thunder and lightning turn her into a pacing, crying, sad member of the family.



















Gail has cooked up a storm and we are enjoying wonderful meals. We will probably be sorry when we next step on the scales, but in the meantime, we are happy.
I think we're going to go to the zoo tomorrow. Columbus has a well known zoo and we're looking forward to the outing. Lila and I both like zoos.

  2. I understand that the Columbus zoo is well known and considered to be a great zoo. Nothing matches MEI though.

  3. Say hi and give our love to the Hammetts. Bella says hi to Ginger. We picked her up from the kennel. Apparently, she and a goldendoodle took turns howling up a storm while they were there. Needless to say, she is glad to be home.
