May 6

Hello from North Carolina where today sure felt like summer...........91 sunny degrees!    We were up and at 'em at 4:40 AM and on the road at 5:02.     Nice day for traveling, but sad to drive thru Nashville and saw first hand some of the devastation (drove past the Opryland Hotel and the Opry Mills Shopping Center).    It will be a long time till those folks are back in business.    So sad to hear about the loss of life and so many homes just swept away.

Arrived at Michael and Brooke's at 3:30 and Philip was here and of course, Drew, Davis and Brady.    After a delicious dinner of ribs/potatoes/asparagus, we all went to Davis's game.   He was the catcher and hit the ball good, but was caught.    And then after 3 innings, the hevens opened up (this was a surprise as one minute, we are sitting in the hot sun; then a few drops and finally, whoaaaa....major downpour.)    The game was eventually cancelled.

Pat: So sorry you did not get to see a full game. We were at Davis's game on Wednesday night and it was a great game. His team lead the whole game and then lost by one run in the last inning. We did not have one drop of rain Thursday. Hopefully, Drew will get to play his complete game on Friday and you can see him play. See you Saturday. JudyB
