Kate called me "Family"


The teen at his best.
Sammy: I'm not leaving you alone until you put me on Andy's team.



Hot chocolate before the big game.


Pat: I'm not playing pitcher for nothing.


Please note birdfeeders in the infield. Note also the ponderosas in the outfield.

Aidan: Pat!  I'm gonna smite you.  Laurie:  Who says smite?  The son of Aidan, that's who.

Neil: I'm just scared of slipping on these bases.

This is why Laurie devised the "fair" teams of Everybody Else vs. Sammy.

Chris: Mo!  Little bit lefter!

Chris: (pant, pant)


Kate:(on deck, and passing off her BEER) Sammy.  Hold this.

Neil (quietly, to himself): I hate that game.


Of course the ball got stuck in a tree.  Ponderosa: one.  Andy: zero.  Someone else did valiantly chuck a birdfeeder up after it.  Ponderosa: two. 
 Patrick (bowling a rock into tree):  Let me show you how it's done.

Kate: It's just a flesh wound.
 It got dark, so the crowd switched to glow-in-the-dark ultimate frisbee.  It was not long, though, before...
Laura: The frisbee is in the tree?
Bridget (matter of factly): No.  It's on the roof.


Neil to Pat:  I'll be the cherry picker now and you can run your tail off.  Pat:  Here's that palm island in Dubai, and here's my pod on the two-story plane, and here's the machine that vends GOLD INGOTS.

Laurie loves Kate.

Wow - did this athletic event take place in your back yard. Looks hugs, like a park! Looks like all had a lot of fun and were good sports.

It's been awhile since I've checked into your blog. Whenever I do, I am so thrilled to know how you are, what's going on in your life, how your family is doing, etc. I'm compelled to comment on your absolutely fantastic artwork! I've been a beader for years and have just started dabbling in mixed media/image transfer but on a much smaller scale. Awesome stuff Suki. Take care. Briana
