With the sun comes the burn

Since I'm doing everything in my power to avoid editing for a few weeks, I'm making a commitment to at least write more often in the blog. Any practice is good, right?

Yesterday turned into a trip to the local softball to watch my youngest niece play in a tournament. We had sunny skies and warm temperatures with enough of a breeze to keep it comfortable. I even remembered to wear sunscreen on my face, though I forgot to reapply. Three hours resulted in a red tinted face. The top of my head didn't fare as well, or so I discovered in the shower this morning. I need to dig out my cap for the ensuing track meets and games coming up this week.

My oldest nephew stopped after the game with a friend and the friend's boys, ages 2 1/2 and 4 3/4. The boys had a blast playing in a pile of dirt. They get a running start, climb to the top, and slide down the other side. Their pants didn't fair as well.

The open road called. It was nice to drive with music blaring and windows down. The shopping part wasn't as exciting. The warehouse club was crowded and the bookstore and clothing store offered nothing.

Today, I went in another direction, finding what I didn't the day before. The rest will be spent in preparation for Game of Thrones  and reading. I need to get in the practice of reading others books again, since I didn't have the time or the brain power to separate another's story from my own.
