Well, so that was the film. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it.
And here's some visual evidence of the events of yesterday:
Q had another game today, and went 2 for 3 with a couple of gritty singles where he hit the ball extremely short, effectively bunting to the pitcher on one and grounding it right to the first baseman on another, but each time, he was motoring so fast that he beat the throw or simply covered the ground between home and first faster than the first baseman could collect himself and run to the base. WSB lost, though, since our pitchers had a hard day and walked a lot of runs in. 11-9 in the rubber match against Comalli Electric, our nemesis. But it was a thrilling game to watch.
I had the most fun, though, having Q's in-the-park homerun from yesterday recounted to me. Here are some random excerpts:
"Oh, man, you missed it!" "That was AMAZING!" "Best finish I've ever seen to one of these games." "I've never cheered so much in my life - I cheered all the harder because I knew you had left! I cheered for you!" "He hit it hard - it was on a rope." "It bounced over first base and maybe bounced twice more in the outfield, and it rolled aaaaaall the way to the fence." "There was a guy on second and a guy on third, and Q just about lapped the guy on second, he was running around the bases so fast." "They had a throw to home, but it wasn't accurate, and Quinn just ran right through the catcher." "He got absolutely mobbed at the dugout. He actually got hurt a little bit because they were pounding his helmet so much." "The Cheshire coach was trying to say it was foul, but I was right in front of it. That baby was fair all the way."
He has been on a cloud ever since.
As has Janneke, who went to graduation today in her new academic robes:
OK, both photos were in front of the same bush. But be honest - if that bush were in front of your house, you'd take all your photos there, too.
Good NIGHT!

Nice bush. Nice bed. And nice painting hanging on the wall, I might add.
I thought you might like that. It's one of three or four words that she can spell.
Miss Tess's use of the word "fancy" is the direct result of Auntie Jayne painting Tess's nails. I do believe "gorgeous" was another word we volleyed about over some Sally Hanson while you all were in Gays Mills. I got a little teary since our baby is gone, but frankly, the little girl is much more fun!
