City trip

Tomorrow is the 20th Annual Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Slowpitch tournament in the city. We are heading in tonight to stay in Dartmouth for the night so we can get to the tournament before 9 without leaving at the crack of dawn. LOL We are all ready to go, the kids got out of school early and Doug is stuck at work. We had a huge thunder and lightning storm the night before last and it royally screwed up all the machines in the mill. It was the biggest storm I can ever remember, the lightning didn't stop, she flashed and bolted continuously. We lost power shortly after mid-night and it was out till about 6am. One of the grocery stores lost all perishable items, all their milk and meat. They didn't get open again till 4 yesterday.

Josh is going to play ball tomorrow, should be interesting since he hasn't played ball since he was 4 and was in t-ball. LOL He has Grampie's mitt out and ready to go. He did great raising money, ended up with about $250.00. I'd love to say that I'll take lots of pictures but my brand new camera that I bought in April broke. I bought it from the Future Shop and I can tell you I'm not real happy with their customer service. I took it back, and the ones that waited on me were not very pleasant. So God knows when I'll have a camera again, not good timing with Josh graduating in a few weeks. I really wish I had gone with my instincts and bought a camera at Staples. At least then if something happened to it I could have returned it to Bridgewater and not had to drive to the city to take it back and then go back again when they get it fixed. It's not like it was a cheap camera. Oh well, Future Shop has lost my business from here on in, from now on I'll go to Staples or Best Buy for my electronics. If I had bought it at Staples I could have returned it and got another, since I was still in my first month.

Well I guess I should go finish packing, so we'll be ready to go if Doug ever gets out of work.
