Opening Day!! Tracy Babe Ruth Baseball League

The boy's are ready to play ball!! This is my favorite day of the
baseball season. Brings back my Oakland A's memories and the Hammer
Baseball teams I sponsored in Oakland for ten years. This is my first
baseball blog of the year but I plan on covering MLB a lot this season.
The kids first and then the boy's of the summer. Lets Get It Started!!

nothing like the sound of the ball hitting that bat!!

I played girls fast-ball from age: 10-11 to age 32!! I pitched, and played shortstop and left field.

Now I know why pro athletes get paid so well.. ooh the injuries DO come back arthritically!!

Wouldn't change not one ache or pain, for one of my memories playing ball though.. nah uh!!

Play on boys - and I hope your boys have a wonderful season MC!

with loving kindness, let's play ball!

Hammer - can't wait for your boys of summer coverage, Big A's fan myself! Are they going to take it this year??

Dear MC.. I need your prayers!! My son in Kingston, has just called to inform me, the building he lives in with his two roommates is on fire!! He may have lost everything, including clothes, PC, and a rented lap-top from his Dad, so he can do his programming course!!

He is not injured, though very shook up. He says he was standing doing dish's when the floor beneath his feet, began to crack and crackle.. he called the fire department.. then they rant outdoors, NO shirt on!! geez, he has ONE kidney functioning at only 70%, and stress is hard on that..

The stress is killing me, because I cannot help him; I have 69-79 dollars a month as it is for food for myself.. how can I help him??

dear god.. why? why? why? he had only 5 more weeks of college this year!! : (

Please, please everyone say a prayer for my son, Lee's burning building on Conacher, in Kingston?

Sorry to beg here for prayers MC, but i am desperate for prayers....

with loving kindness,
North

Dear Anita, thankyou!! After hours of waiting news, Lee called to say their apartment is fine!! He said they stood there outside; feeling for sure, their place got trashed too.

He says, he was doing dishes, when all of a sudden, the floor beneath him, began to crack and crackle loudly.. he realized a fire below!!

He called 911, and then he and his roomies; unhooked thier PC's and got them safely to a car outside!!

NO body is injured, though they had some minor smoke inhalation, and very shook up!!

Apartment smells bad he said, and they were allowed to stay there, which I wanted him to get a room for the night... can't be healthy, smelling that toxic stuff in the air? But, he had a test to write this morning, and stayed up the rest of the night to continue studies.

Thanks for your thoughts Anita; a few folks EM'd me, and what a blessing it was, as I was a nervous wreck, being so far from him.

with loving kindness,
North

I cannot wait until mine is old enough to participate in team sports! I am going to be one of those obnoxious moms with the megaphone and the sign, lol.

Glad 2 hear that everything is ok with your son, What a Blessings! I can only imagine what was going on in your mind. But with our prayers everything worked out for the best!!!

ddsNorth said...

Good morning Anita... yes, I do believe the combined prayers of everyone I reached out to immediately, had a significant effect on the outcome.. this, I believe!!

My stomach is still not settled from the stress of being so far away.. but, I'm coming to grips. Meditated a bit last night, to try to calm the effects this had on my body... lol

MC, Anita et al; thankyou all so very much, for prayers, answered!!

with loving kindness,
North

MC Hammer said...

North,
so glad things worked out.

ddsNorth said...

Thanks MC, it sure is a feeling of hopelessness, being so far from him!! Miles are merciless, when it comes to worrying about your child in distress!

Thankyou for your prayers... I believe fully, they contributed, to such a good outcome!

He has one more month, of his first of 3 years of college!! Can a mother be more proud?(smiles.)

with loving kindness,
North
