D's old team called him last night and needed a second baseman, so he got up early, worked and then went straight to Dayton. We got there and it was HOT. Russ & Nancy and cousin Lori came to hang out and chat and watch D play. It was a great afternoon but very hot. D's team lost but D played second well, made a great barehanded double play, and connected during one of his at bats. D took G home and L&I headed home.

After the feast we looked at all of GpaB's guns and watched the Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest. G&I walked back to look at the ball fields, they are all grown up from not being used. We hung out and chatted and stayed out of the heat. It was a very nice visit. Home and L spent a long time cleaning up the mess D's friends made in the basement while D took off to spend the night with some friends. G hung out and played on the Xbox. J got home late and told us all about his adventures in Myrtle Beach. L was shaking like a leaf due to all the fireworks being shot off.

Up after a bit, my rash a bit better, and I ran to LapCorp to have blood drawn for my Dr. appointment next week. Back home and L and Lilly out watering flowers and I got on the PC for the day. Took an IT call for the Boosters that lasted way too long, but got they problem fixed.

Boys back home for a minute and then headed up to Westerville for G's baseball game. We played the Cobras and somehow by the grace of God the last time we played them they won. Well our boys weren't having any more of that. The boys played very well and G went 2 for 3, 1 nice deep shot to center that was caught, another for a single and a bomb for a home run! his second ever. G's home run put the game out of touch for the Cobras and we run ruled them after 5. After the game we headed to Coach's to eat and celebrate Bi'll bday. It was a good time. D brought G and the other players from the team back to our house to play wiffle ball and called shortly after to let me know his recently repaired phone screen got smashed... L&I chatted with Tom Sr. and his wife and heard some amazing stories of his life. The best being 'convinced' to drive to Wytheville VA and get married at 18. Guy has had an amazing life. Home and got another old phone out of the safe for D and he took off with his friends. The other parents stopped and got their kids and we headed to bed.

Had calls right up to the time I left for the Dr. Dr. said the bumps looked like folliculitis and it should go away, but come back if it gets worse... That was helpful... Home and L reported that J face-timed her and was having a great time in Myrtle Beach. Roger Wright stopped by the house on his daily walk. Back to the desk to finish the day. D&G headed to the ball field and L&I shortly after. I showed my spots to Terrill the team Dr. and he said that's no folliculitis, looks like bug bite, but not sure... G went 1 for 2 on the night getting a nice single to center and then stole the other 3 bases to score, hit by pitch and a ground out. We were playing a team from Plain City and both Landon and Colton hit huge home runs. The game was over in 5 innings and we headed home.

Home and G changed and LG&I headed to the baseball field. The boys played the Columbus Cobras, a team we should never lose to, and the boys played well, but every hit they got was right to someone or was fielded well and we got beat. Home and the McClains, Tom and Landon and Terrill and Andrew came over for a bit to have some pizza and beers on the back porch. D and DGF10 were here. We played some cornhole and just relaxed. Everyone left and we cleaned up and watched soem TV with D and DGF10. J swung by the house with his friends and we got him some cash, told him to be careful and hugged him goodbye as he heads out to Myrtle Beach with his friends. To bed in good time.
