Oh my gosh- finally we have a nice day on a weekend! It was rainy and cold last weekend which made us all kind of inert (cool word, huh?) and then THIS weekend was rainy and cold too! Boooooo! Everything cleared out late Saturday night so we had pretty mountains with lots of snow and blue skies too. This is the Tucson winter we know and love!
In spite of the weather, we did end up having a nice weekend. Dad and I managed to get in a quick round of golf Saturday afternoon. It was cold and windy and part of the course was flooded out but it was good. We've gotten 3.5" of rain at our house since last weekend! Crazy, right??
Mom and dad decided to invite some St. Michael's families over for dinner on Saturday. I also play softball with these girls so we've known each other for awhile and gotten frequent invites to their houses in the past. In an effort (and it was an effort) for mom and dad to be more friendly, they decided to return the favor. The initial plan was to keep it simple. We'll just order some pizzas, drink some beer/mango lemonade and hang out. Somehow, that morphed into a whole lot more. Mom decided she was kind of craving lasagna and it was good lasagna weather and really, lasagna isn't hard to make. So she made lasagna. But if you're going to eat lasagna, you need bread and her bread recipe isn't that hard to make. So she made bread. And of course, you need a salad. But not just any ol' salad. She needed Pasta House Salad. And it isn't hard to make. So she made Pasta House Salad. And salad dressing. And hell, at that point, you might as well go all in and since we have a huge orange tree full of ripe oranges, she made an orange chocolate bundt cake for desert. And it wasn't that hard to make. Oh. And homemade guacamole for an appetizer. Which wasn't hard to make. So lets recap that shall we? Pizza and beer. Or lasagna, bread, salad, desert and appetizer. She did not make the wine however. That would have been over the top. We all had a fabulous time and except for Colton getting hit across the back by an errant softball bat swing from Ella, it was a great evening! Colton is fine BTW.
Sunday was much more relaxed and less food oriented. As I already mentioned, the weather on Sunday was much more cooperative. Mom was able to take Ginger for a long walk and in the afternoon, we met my coach for round two of pitching lessons. This one was much improved over last week, even with my late night the night before. We worked on my fastball, change up and rise ball and they are coming along nicely. Hopefully, I'll be ready for the season!
