Rayne's All-Star Team

Rayne's all-star team played tonight on the field of dreams in van buren. They didn't do very well. Rayne can't say it was his fault. He only got to bat once, and he wasn't in the field any. They play again tomorrow at 4:45. Yippee! At least the weather has cooled off a lot, and we didn't burn up watching the game.

Mixed Media Journal Page

I am very in to journaling this summer and using mixed media. The below picture is is a page out of one of my journals. I like "rustic" pages.
First I painted the page with primer, and when that dried I covered the whole page with an apple barrel paint called Pear. I then decided my pictures needed matting so I created mats with black paint. After letting that dry, I glued down my pictures and wrote captions with a black permanent marker. Overall, I like it. It's messy but fun. Oh, and I like to prime my pages so that the paper won't soak up all the paint and the marker won't bleed through to the other side.

Fans at the game and the Champs!

Rance's baseball team won their end of season tournament today. They played Hackett at Hackett, and it was extrememly HOT today.

Rance and Isaac
















Rance and Spencer

Yesterday was Pop's birthday. We went to see him yesterday evening. It is the first time I have been down there in weeks because I haven't been feeling good enough. Lex drove me and the boys down there last night. We ate at Rogerland and it took forever. Connie had to recook our food because they didn't do it right. We were wondering why it took so long.
Pop didn't say much last night which means he isn't feeling well. I feel awful for not being down there in so long. I love pop and gram. I don't like them being old.

Gallbladder, pizza, and bowling

I know that is a weird title, but it does describe our evening. First, Rayne and I got allergy shots. While at the doctor's office, I found out I may have to have my gallbladder out!!!!! My ultrasound showed slugge(?) in my gallbladder. Lovely.
After the doctor's office we went to eat pizza at steffie's, where I ate a grilled chicken salad and two small bread sticks. No, greasy food for my gallbladder. (It is hurting as I write this so the bread sticks must have been too greasy.)
Next, we went to BAM so rance could spend some birthday money, and then we went bowling. I didn't bowl because of my back, but did take pictures. It was a fun evening together!!!!
