Baseball...all the Time!

And....a story of "separated at birth"

After a very brief break in the baseball action...or the switch from regular season to tournament ball, we are back in the heat of baseball...

My husband followed his dream of creating a team, and I must say, they look good! The best part was that the kids had a blast....

Not to mention how very cute they looked in their uniforms...

Meet....42.....Stephen Staton....affectionately called "Boog" by his mom on the sidelines...oh, he hates it...but, well...thats my job..

My husband Steve and his right hand man Assistant Coach Bill Lowery....these two are truly brothers.....

Ok...here's the story....

Meet Cissy....her husband Bill, is pictured above....

Cissy and I met years back on a soccer field as our kids played on opposing teams. I was just beginning to leave the house again after losing our second son, and I honestly don't know what drew us into each others paths, but we started talking - ok, hugging...sounds strange now, but its true...

We met again a couple of years later on the baseball field - of course- and started talking again...getting close to my birthday, I mentioned that I would be 34 that year, and she said she would too....her birthday, December 24th...well, so is mine- the year 1969. We laughed about it, and fast forward a few years, we met again...our kids playing this time on the same team....as we started the conversation, we were geared up for our Big 4-0 and just started yapping about our birthdays.... I said to her ..that I was born in the small town of Sumter, SC....and her face dropped...Me too she said....we were born the same day, year, town, and hospital, same doctor...we of course called our moms who agreed "I was not there to socialize" ....enough said.

So, here was are...living in small town Creedmoor again after being separated at birth all those years ago....and now, our families are together always! We keep thinking of calling Oprah, or getting tattoos!

I'll keep you posted of the decision....

Until next time, and I promise to get back to art...
