Our good weather is finally here. Oh, we're still getting some chilly nights, but the days are spectacular. I hope that wherever you live, spring is either there or on the way.
Spring means Little League Baseball and Spring Soccer. My Saturday started early with an morning soccer game. Alex was goalie for the first half and played midfield the second half. His team won 3 to 1. The 8 of us, Graffs and Lachers, went to lunch and then to Melissa's baseball game. Her team is now using the pitching machine. They don't score, but the 6 and 7 year-olds are really good. I must say I was impressed with their hitting and fielding. Their league has acquired a portable pitching apparatus which must be doing a world of good. I think Alex and Nate were wishing they had that machine when they were in Little League.
Then it was back to Brentwood for my evening's entertainment. Although people are still taking about "Hooray for Hollywood," last night was yet another enjoyable Summerset Vista event. It's the Single Club's Talent Show. Many of those who entertained us last night were members of the Summerset Singers. The emcee was Pete Latner, who told some great jokes with his excellent timing. We were entertained by the Old Folkers, The Summerettes, and the Dahlin'Divas, all groups of "Singers" members. Don Palmer was back after an illness. We were so glad to have him singing for us again. Also singing for us were Jim Wagner, Jim Rankin, Ernie MacIntrye, Gloria Batchelor-Salas,David McClellan, Ben Smith, Trisha Brittain, and Ken Young. Don Lilly accompanied several singers on guitar. Mike Spellman did a wonderful drum solo, Ray Carter did a reading of his lyrics and also sang the lyrics he set to an Enya tune. We have an amazing amount of talent here at Summerset. Thank you to the Singles Club for continuing to gather them together to entertain us.
