Softball
Next Tuesday is the last day of our Summer league. Our team is in first place and stands a good chance to win the season, again. You can check out our standing at http://www.nashvillesportsleagues.com/sports_detail_standings.cfm#. Crowe is our team name, since that's who sponsored our league fees.
I'm not bragging, because I'm an all-star softball player. Actually, I'm mostly lousy. I stand about a 75 percent chance of getting on base each time I'm up to bat. I'm bragging, because I have an awesome team that I'm so excited to be part of. Not only do they play really well, but they are so funny and so much fun to hang out with every Tuesday. The jokes, the camaraderie, the foul ups. . . Tuesday nights are a highlight in my weeks.
Last night, the league held a cookout at the ball field with two local restaurants providing all the meat and the teams all brought condiments, chips, etc. For the occasion, I made a cake. My team doesn't expect me to bring something store bought, and I felt I couldn't let them down. Plus it seemed like such a fun excuse to get out my decorating tools and attempt to create a cake masterpiece. . . something I don't do very often at all because it's so messy.
I was quite pleased with the outcome and Madison (my number 1 fan) was impressed enough to compliment me with "Mommy, you're a good cake artist." How fun is that!
The teams enjoyed the fun of the cake and by 11:00 as our games were finally wrapping up, some of the remaining pieces of cake were found being smushed in the faces of some of the players. I'm only glad it wasn't my face!

So glad it went well. Hope you guys continue to win and maybe one of these days I'll be able to come cheer you on, although it doesn't look like that will happen this season.

Good luck on Tuesday. I won't be around to find out if you win.
Have a great week.
