July 19, 2015 Cori and Josh's anniversary!

Good evening, I did warn that I probably wouldn't post last night and I didn't. Just had my tablet and decided I would just wait until we were home.

We got up early and made it to Mitchell by 9 yesterday morning.  Eli was up first for pitching, so we got to watch that!  He did good.  They played hard, but lost the first game.  Their team is totally 9 year olds and the other team was mixed 9 and 10 year olds.  You can really see a difference in the one year, in terms of knowledge and just plain size!  

We came back to the field at 2 to watch the second game which was against Watertown, and it was a more evenly matched game.  Hard fought, and they won 5-4!!  Yay! for them!  So that put the boys in a much better mood.  We bopped around in Cabela's for a while after that and then went back to the motel for a bit. 

Funny story on the motel.  Orrin checked in early, but we couldn't bring our stuff in until 3 so they could finish cleaning.  Well, we went back at 4 and they still weren't done!  They hadn't even started with that room.  The gal at the desk said, oh, I have a room on the 1st floor you can have, room 123.  So Orrin went to check that out, and there was luggage and stuff in that room!  She was very confused, she said she didn't have anyone in that room.  So we just waited and went back later and moved into 240, the original room.  We were telling Wendy about it and she asked what room number she had given us on the 1st floor.  We said room 123, Wendy said "that's our room"!!  The rooms weren't bad, but they need to upgrade their help!  LOL

We met with them all for supper at Whiskey Creek.  I had steak, which was tough..won't try that again.  And turned out one of the mothers was from the Brandt area, her mother worked at EMPI, and she was friends with Denise, and several others.  Crazy world!  Orrin and I were just kind of tag-alongs this weekend.

Orrin and I have become rather obsessed with golfing, especially the open this weekend.  The last day is tomorrow, since they've had two weather delays.  It's in Scotland, and their weather is horrendous!  We are both fans of this young Jordan Speith, he really is remarkable.  He was 5 under after round 2, and today finished at 11 under!  With the conditions of that course, that was very good!  He was leader, but then someone else ended with 12 under.  And Jordan is 21!  He's won both the Masters and the US Open.  Just a nice young man from Texas.  So whenever we had a chance we would watch the match.  Sorry to bore some of you, it's just such a great story!

And I posted this earlier. . . 

What is wrong with this picture?  Lisa figured it out pretty quickly.  The Mustang is gone!  I didn't think quick enough to take a picture of it when they drove off with it, so this was the next best thing I could think of.  :)  We'd had a few inquiries, but hadn't really advertised it much.  This fellow from Dawson had driven past and seen it and just decided to drive over and buy it!  Didn't even haggle over the price or anything.  So I loved it while I had it, but it was time to move on.

Krause's called around 5 and said they were on their way home from a family reunion in Tomah, WI and would like to stop this way to pick up their tractor.  So we said we'd make something for supper, and Kathy had beans from the weekend, so we managed to eat well once again!

Shortly after they left, Stan called.  They were going to headed back home from WI and wanted to meet somewhere.  So we are planning on meeting them on Thursday at noon in Worthington.  It has been a few years since we saw them, too!  

So our dance card will be full this week, haha.  And for right now, that's all from Canby area.

Hugs, Orrin, Linda and Wendy
