Kaitlyn won her game!

Kaitlyn played a great game at catcher. She is playing well. She through out a girl stealing second and made some other great plays. She went 1 for 2 at the plate with 2 walks. They played Timberline. Timberline is a good softball school. Kaitlyn has some fun things to look forward to. There are 5 freshman on the varsity 3 are pitchers (They alternate starting) and 2 are catchers. There are 2 Freshman on the J.V. and a whole team of freshman that have only lost one game. So hopefully she will be able to someday play on a state championship team if all goes well.

We had to give the dog back to the owners. They finally got connected with the right person to know that we had their dog. I told him to come over to get it but that I had spent about $300 on caring for the dog the past 2 months. He said he didn't have the money to help with the costs but that he would try to get me some as he started working more. I doubt I will ever see a cent. It was hard giving her up. She was a great dog. I realized that I don't think I could ever be a foster parent as it really affected me watching her leave our property and she is only a dog.

I hope all is well with everyone.

I just received word that our car is done and after a used engine replacement I am only down $2,500 and my transmission is getting replaced which is another $1,000. I also learned today that I hadn't paid my gas bill for the past 4 months due to a problem with their autopay program so now I have another $550 bill for that. I hope my trials stop for a while. I consider myself very humble. :-) I am thankful for my employment that allows me to cover such bills but would have rather helped a few other people out than sticking the money into cars. I guess in a way I helped some people.

I am not complaining just lamenting. :-) I am having trouble squeezing lemonade out of these lemons I have been tossed. Let me know if you have any words of wisdom you would like to share.

I love you all!
