HUMP day yep, mid week another one has nearly come and gone.  Pat's working on building a "NEW" computer which we desperately need so I thought I'd take a few minutes to say hi and update you a little on our local activity.  Actually nothing new is going on, normal gym, football, shopping, and the like.  Practice for the team is down to 4 days a week and only 1 1/2 hours vs. 2 so that makes it a little easier and yes, our temperatures are dropping (a little) so the weather is quite a bit easier to endure.  I noticed the last couple of evenings that the players thirst has decreased so that tells me they are feeling a difference in the heat as well.  Our opening game is Saturday along with team pictures so it should be a pretty full day for all of us.  Pictures are at 2:00 & we don't play until 3:35 (I think) so the entire day should be occupied with you guessed it, FOOTBALL:):) Then naturally we come home to TV Football - we sure love this time of year:)

Gym members seem to have dropped off, I guess back to school has affected attendance.  I love the mornings when there are fewer people there and you can speak loudly across the room the socialize with friends.  I think the attendance in general will probably be on the decline until the pre-holiday blitz to shed a few pounds, then drop off again with the holiday partying.  Regardless Pat stays busy on the racquetball court and I keep the "new" equipment moving with exercises.  The owner did get in a lot of new equipment some is great some sucks because of the "lay back" positioning which I can't do since my anyeriusm.  I tend to really lose my balance when I don't sit up straight so some of the new equipment won't work for me however, my wonder trainer, Tim, is making adjustments and I'm working out some of the new equipment issues and he's changing some to weights - thank God for Tim he keeps me going:):)  Pat's racquetball partner, Sammy, is having some back problems so he hasn't been playing as hard or as often but he has been at the gym socializing with me.  Okay Sam it's time to get back in shape and on the court I miss watching your wonderful athletic games (umm did I say "athletic"????)  Thanks for the breakfast sandwich I ate part of it for lunch - you're the bestest:):O)

No rain (yet) today, and it doesn't appear like we're going to have any.  Believe me, if it's going to rain it will happen just before we leave home for practice or during practice.  I'll be glad when the season for rain is over, even though we've had lighter rain this year it's a pain to have it almost every day especially when it opts to rain during practice.  I really can't complain because we've had no effects from the numerous storms and the little rain we've had has kept the new fruit trees watered so I guess I shouldn't say much about the rain.

Okay, I guess I'll shut up and get a few things done around the house before we head to the field.  We love & miss everyone.

Hugs & Kisses,

Patty
