Hi-bocce ball!
Today was a fun day. My Mom, MaryBeth, and I traveled to my sisters house for their annual neighborhood Labor Day(ish) block party. I have never lived in a community that seemed to pull together as much as my sisters neighborhood. Everyone brought their own entrees and something to share. There was lots of yummy food. It’s time like today that I am particularly disappointed that I just can’t eat as much as I used to; I sampled a lot, but could not splurge — then again, perhaps that’s a good thing.
One of the big events at the block party is the annual bocce ball tournament. Now, I have not played bocce ball in years and my partner (randomly assigned) had never played. Our opponents included one of the winners from last years tournament. Despite being down 7 to 1 early in the game, my partner and I came back to win 17 to 15. It was a lot of fun, but it was a little difficult on my stomach and we ended up leaving before the second round.
I hope you all having a safe and happy Labor Day weekend. Almost time for us to head back to Baltimore…
