Who's Your Tiger?
I don't know if you follow baseball or not but last week was the all-star break. Really I don't watch or care about the all-star game! The Tigers had a lot of players in it, but for me it's just a long stretch in the summer when the Tigers are not on TV. My Grandma would watch all the games and she has taught me to do the same. I miss her calling and saying did you see that play last night, or did you see that home run! It seems that the Tigers tend to struggle from the all-star break through the end of the season, and so far they have lived up to that, dropping 2 of 3 to Chicago last weekend. I hope they can pick it up! I was just saying that Grandma would not have been happy with how they played this weekend. She loved all the players, but especially Magglio Ordonez, (I think she thought he was cute). BUT I think this year she might be a fan of Andy Dirks, (he is pretty cute too) and since he made his debut on my birthday this year, I think he is my Tiger this year! Who's your Tiger? GO TIGERS! They better get their game faces on! Miss you Gram!
Water Girl!
4th of July was one of Grandma Jackie's favorites. She loved to have everyone get together, summer, water balloons, and fireworks! I remember going over to her house when I was little and her having a pool in the driveway ready to play. Well the tradition continues. The pool is on the deck and Jackie got her first dip in it today! She did pretty good except the suit was too big to stay on her little butt!
I will never forget the 4th of July when we first had moved out to Holland, Grandma Jackie had got some "good fireworks" and we decided that the best place to shoot them off would be the tennis courts. Long story short, we lit the grass on fire, and that scared the little kids. I also remember her asking me if I though we could shoot water balloons across the street at the people on the boats with her 3 person slingshot. She was the fun Grandma and will be missed tomorrow. She would have loved to play in the pool with Austin and Jacqueline. I know she will be looking down tomorrow and smiling. (And I am sure she was smiling when Kirstin scored the winning run in her championship softball game this week. She is proud of you Kirst!)
Happy 4th of July! We have a CRAZY amount of food (that's like Grandma too) so if you are out by the beach tomorrow stop by and say hi!
