Creamed corn

I haven't had much to write about the last few days. Life has just been full of the mundane busyness of everyday life. I have been playing with the kids, cooking, cleaning, working in the yard, going to meetings, etc. Nothing worth going into detail about.

I just heard that Terri Shiavo just died after being starved for 2 weeks. Regardless of our views on this issue, and many of you know my strong views on this, Terri spirit is now free of her damaged body and she is in a better place. I pray for the broken hearts of her family this morning.

Matthew starts T-Ball practice tomorrow night. He is so excited and wants me to practice catching and throwing every day. It is all he can talk about!

Baseball/Softball had been a big part of my family's life. My grandfather was asked to play for the St. Louis Cardinals minor league team. He ended up not doing it b/c of the pay and being away from home so much, but he always loved baseball. My dad played softball on church leagues when I was growing up. In the early eighties, my dad was playing and hit a home run. He happened to look at his watch while he was running around the bases and saw that it was 10:00 p.m. When he came home from the game, he was told that his father, who had cancer, died peacefully at 10:00 p.m. That story has always given me chills!

Now, the everyday mudane busyness of life is calling my name. Gotta go.

Creating creamed corn can comfort critters craving comments.

I like creamed corn days--I just can't say it as creatively as djg!
While I was in Knoxville yesterday I told my daughter I know a lot of people that hope Baylor women beat TN this year--she said something like she didn't go to TN for women's bb--so go Baylor!

Thank you JettyBetty. We aren't good at football or even men's basketball this year, so Baylor needs something to be excited about!
