I hate that Cooper's team didn't win the tournament, nobody hates to lose at anything like Cooper, but sounds like they played admirably. I'm proud of you, Coop! It won't surprise your Gramma to see you winning baseball scholarships or playing pro ball one day, if that's what you want to do.

Betsy left for New York this morning and will be visiting her children and grandchildren while there. With all the horror stories of airline delays and cancellations, I hope she got there without too much inconvenience. Don't forget to make pictures, Sis! And remind Laura that I'm still waiting to see the pictures she made in Tupelo in March.

Our pool was trashed this morning. Looked like someone threw a wild party out there and tried to make the biggest mess they could possibly make with cigarette butts all over the place and beer bottles thrown in the water. Nothing was torn up that I could see, but I came back home without exercising. It wouldn't have been as much fun without Pam and Jean anyway, they've gone to the coast on vacation. The pool cleaning crew usually comes on Thursdays, so by in the morning it should be clean again. I hope the security cameras caught the morons who made the mess and if they were not residents, we should have the sheriff arrest them. If they were residents, they should lose their pool privileges. There's no excuse for such carelessness and mischief.
