031 Summer's End

Summer's end: the annual Labor Day picnic. Burgers, Italian sausage and dogs on the grill, chicken and baked bean from the oven, corn on the cob and desserts on the table. It is the annual family picnic next door and now I know Aunt Irene, Grammy Cindy, and Noo Noo. It is a picnic where the boys play ball and the girls create shows while the grandparents reminisce and everybody eats some more.

029 Liberty High School Grenadier Band

The best part of high school foot ball is...

I should say the game, but as a former band parent, I'm going with the band. Liberty has a great band and will march in the Rose Bowl Parade this year. Today was the first game of the football season and sadly, Liberty lost. 

028 The Doggie in the Window

I've seen cats watching the world sitting in a window, but I think this is the first time I've seen a dog.  His name is Cooper and he lives next door.  I'm not sure if he is allowed to be up in the window, or if this is a part of his secret life when nobody's home.

027 The Game

At the end of most games, 4 runs, 9 hits and 2 errors is not bad. In fact, it might even have been a win. Not for the Iron Pigs. Not when they played the Pawtucket Red Sox who ended the game with 14 runs, 19 hits and 2 errors. Rich said it was like watching batting practice for the Sox except it was the game. The popped bubble gum pretty much sums up both the game and the entire series against the Sox. I just didn't know it when I took the picture.

026 Hockey Practice

Across the corner from the house is the girls high school softball field. This time of year it serves as the practice field for Liberty's Field Hockey Team. School started yesterday, and the their first game is Saturday.
