Yellow Shirt

I have had a great time going to fastball tournaments all summer.  This week the Canadian Junior Men's Championship was being played in Tavistock about 20 minutes away.  I paid for a weeklong pass and went every day to the games.  Some of the games were broadcast over the internet.  Barb took a picture of the computer screen of me in the stands behind home plate.  You could see me clearly because I was the only person in the stands wearing a bright yellow shirt.

Making Way

Today we had to move our cars out of the driveway because Google Maps was coming around to take pictures of Morningside.  We thought we had made the big times when Google to paying attention to us but later when we checked Google Maps we found we couldn't enter our house number any more only our street name.

Old Coffee Maker

Our coffee maker had worked for about 30 years but recently the hot water started overflowing the basket and the coffee and the grinds were poring all over the counter.  So Barb starting looking on the internet to find another coffee maker.  She read all the reviews and they said that there was this one coffee maker that she could buy online that made the best coffee.  Unfortunately it had a small pot of only 8 cups.  She ordered it but she didn't even open the box she just returned it.  She bought another coffee maker with a pot that was our usual size.  It may not make a great a cup of coffee but we are not connoisseurs anyway.  Unfortunately Barb had to buy new cone filters and we had lots of basket filters left over. Then Barb realized we could bring them to Florida because we have a basket style coffee maker there.

Lost Keys Again

Barb lost the key to her car after she got home from Ottawa.  She searched the house and couldn't find them.  She even searched the garage.  Eventually she found the keys in the CD holder of the car where she stores Betsy.  I guess they fell off her finger when she was putting Betsy away and she didn't notice.

Back Door

I drove back to New Hamburg from Ottawa in our new car while Barb stayed behind in Ottawa to play pickleball.  I wanted to get back for my ball game that night.  As I was driving home I realized that Barb had the keys to the house in her car.  Fortunately I remembered that we were too lazy to lock the back door and I got in that way and changed into my fastball uniform and made it to my game.

Airport Adventure

Julia and Dillon were coming back from visiting Daphne and Truman and were arriving at the airport.  They asked us to pick them up when they arrived.  We got there early and drove around the airport a few times.  Then we waited in a parking lot outside the airport until Julia texted us telling us they had arrived.  Then when we went to pick them up Julia said that they were at the departures area not the arrivals area.  So we drove up to the departures area and picked them up.  One of the guards there saw us picked them up and took down our license plate number he said that it was against the rules to pick people up at the departures area and it would normally be a $75 fine but he would let us off this time but if they saw us do it again we would definitely be fined.

Costly Strawberries

Barb was eating strawberries between games at the pickleball tournament in Ottawa.  She forgot she took out her mouth guard and dropped her mouth guard which cost her $500 on the ground when she got up.  Later in the day just before she was heading home, she found it under her chair.
