Foggy Morn, Chilly Night!

We have just returned from the softball field chilled to the bone (or at least so it seems!).  Joy and Esther had two back-to-back games tonight...so we have been out there since a little after 5:30pm.  And, it just got colder as the evening progressed.  It was in the low 50's according to the car thermometer when we left the ball park.  We turned on our heated seats and cranked up the heat on our short ride home.  The heat was almost too much by the time we got back to our driveway...but at that point it still felt good!  The girls' team won both games by one point.  Joy pitched their first game and I believe that she crossed the plate to score the winning run in the first game.  Then Esther got a solid hit her last at bat and ended up being the one who crossed the plate to score the winning run in the second game.  Good games...but really glad that we are back home attempting to get warmed up!

We left the house a little after 7am this morning to head to Nashville for Woody's check-in with his bone surgeon.  She continues to be pleased with her handiwork!  She told him that she was pleased to see his name on the list of her patients today.  We like Dr. Holt very much...and I guess that feeling is mutual.  She told him to make an appointment for a year (to keep him in the system), but if when it is time for the appointment and he feels that there is no need to come back to just call and cancel the appointment.

It took a bit longer to get to Vanderbilt today due in part to rush hour and in part to several accidents this morning.  We still made it to the appointment early...but the appointment didn't go quite as quickly with the doctor as it usually does.  They were really covered up with patients this morning. We didn't get away from Vandy till noon and he had a 10am appt. But it was still a lot quicker than when he goes for labs, scans, and to see Dr. Wyman every four months.  They called him back to get his x-rays taken and then sent him back out to the outer waiting room...usually we are in a room before he is taken for x-rays.  And, when we were taken into a room we were put in a room waaaaaaaaaaaay to the end of the long hall...near their day surgery area.

On our way home we stopped at a mall in Murfreesboro and bought a Christmas present and a couple of other things and then headed back home.  It seems like we were hardly home and it was time to go to the ball park!  And, now here we are home and it is about time to go to bed!

And, now I will wish Abigail a happy 14th birthday once again...I think that her birthday celebrations are over for this birthday!
