Go Bulldogs!

Happy Rednesday! Haven't been by in a while, but I am joining everyone for Rednesday sponsored by Sue at It's a very cherry world. My grandson's, Gavin and Sloan, ball team had a game last night and finally almost won! This was a big feat for these boys because all but three of them had never stepped onto a ballfield before March of this year. They have come a long way since then and they really made the other team earn their points last night. I got so excited when they would make a hit and get on base. I was jumping up and down and yelling! :) This is my grandson, Gavin. He will be twelve in July. He is my husband's and my "son", because I was in the delivery room when he was born by ceaseran section. I got to carry him to the nursery to be weighed - 9lbs6oz! Now look at him, nothing but bones!
This is his little brother, Sloan. Sloan is eight and the bat-boy for the team.

He loves to eat, so I make sure I bring snacks for him.

Here are some of the boys on the team. Gavin is in the middle (glasses).


This is their head coach, Chris.
We have another game tonight and I know these boys are tired. Please pray that they can win a game because this is the last game this seaon. Happy Rednesday!

Baseball Game

Welcome to Rednesday sponsored by Sue at It's a Very Cherry World. Please visit each participant and leave a comment. This week my Rednesday contribution is my grandsons and husband at their first ball game. This was last night and bless their hearts, they tried but did not win. It's all fun and that is what these young men are told by their coaches. Some of these boys have never played on a real baseball field before.  These two handsome lads are my grandsons, Sloan (8) and Gavin (11).

This is the first time wearing their uniforms. Sloan is on the left and Gavin on the right. They have the same Mother, but different dads. Gavin has our last name because his father denied him., but Sloan's dad claims him as his son.

Getting ready in the dugout..........

Coach Grandpa!

Warming up.....

Hard to see, but Gavin is ready to play....

Sloan is the bat boy....

Ain't he precious? All boy!
Happy Rednesday!

My First Rednesday

Welcome to my first Rednesday sponsored by suelovescherries.blogspot.com. The first photo is my mothers clothes sprinkler. After bringing the clothes in from the line, she would sprinkle each one with water, roll it up, place in a large plastic bag and place in the refrigerator until she was ready to iron. I have done this more times than I can count. Thank God for the day she bought a dryer!
This is a cookie jar made by Ball. My mother's father gave each of his kids one years ago. This is not Mother's , my sister has that one. But my sister did buy this one for me at an antique store. The lid has been put back on crooked and I have not been able to get it off. Mother used this as a cookie jar up until a few years ago.
These are the apples I bought at a yard sale last weekend.


This is a Spanish doll that I got from Paradise Galleries several years ago. Isn't she beautiful? I have a pink showgirl also. But she will have to wait until Pink Saturday. Paradise Galleries does not have these beautiful dolls any longer which is a shame. I would love to collect more.
