I decided to pick up Savannah Lee this afternoon and take her to an FSU baseball game.

Not too fashionable, but Papa's hat doesn't look too bad on her.

I think she was a little more interested in drinking than watching the game.

Of course, at her age, it's more fun to explore and figure out how those seats go up and down than to follow the game.

A little face-time with G-ma.

Probably about time to take her home.

Two nights later, we took Neil to another FSU baseball game and he decided to try on my hat too.

As usual with the grandchildren, G-ma is the center of attraction!

Lynda and I went to Jacksonville for the FSU v Jacksonville University baseball game.

We drove over the Arlington Expressway bridge to get to the stadium.

The JU players work the grounds prior to the start of the game.

The players ground crew has about got the field ready for play.

FSU players doing some stretching on the sidelines.

Getting ready to run some wind sprints to loosen up.

Hey coach, we think we've had about enough!

Coach Mike Martin meets with the umpires and the opposing coach.

Tyler Holt (or Tyler "Hot" as a couple of our grand-daughters refer to him) at bat in the first inning.

Both pitchers were throwing no-hitters in the middle of the game.  Mike McGee was especially throwing well.

McGee pitched 6 innings of no-hit ball before being relieved in the 7th inning.

It's late in the game and a no-hitter is still on the line for the Noles.

Gilmartin up to bat in the late innings of the game.

JU finally got a hit in the top of the 9th, but FSU prevailed 2-0 with a 1 hitter.

With a victory in hand, it was time for the 2nd ranked Noles to pack up and head back to Tallahassee.

We attended a primary talent show at church which Lynda was in charge of.  Ryan and Savannah Lee are playing on the floor.

Now, it's Lori's turn.

Ms. Hannah is in the house (inside joke).

That's gotta hurt!

Auburn even choreographed the dance!

Mike is hanging back with the "guys".

It don't get any better than spending time with the grandchildren.

Lynda and I are co-presidents of the Jefferson County Seminole Booster club.  We arranged a tour of the Florida State University baseball stadium.

Chip Baker, former assistant head baseball coach at FSU is giving us a tour of the Tradition Room, where former players and coaches are honored.

One of the former players is Deion Sanders.

Chip is telling some stories while we tour the locker room for the Seminoles.

Lynda and I, along with our friends, John and Terri, attended a patriotic concert at the Monticello Opera House.

This is retired USMC General Lawrence F. Snowden, who, along with three local veterans were honored at the event.

A concert of patriotic songs was performed by Bob Milne, the most renown ragtime pianist in the country.  Among others, he played the Marine Corps, Army, Air Force and Navy hymns.

I walked down to our lake this evening with my camera to shoot the sunset.

The clouds were beautiful with a cresent moon.

The view from our dock at sunset can be stunning.

I thought the clouds made a nice backdrop for the moon.

I decided to catch the moon with a telephoto lens.
