THE BALL GAME

Harleo's Adventures

It was Monday January 2nd, the legal “New Years” holiday. My husband and I had the day off from work and I wanted to purchase a couch at Costco, but Lee wanted to take the boys to the park and let them “run.” I thought it was a great idea until I realized he wanted me to go with them. Look, I’m all for “family fun” but it was 39 degrees that day and the sun was somewhere else – it wasn’t in the sky – there was NO SUN! I bundled up the best I could, and I looked just like the little boy from the movie “ A Christmas Story” (what was his name? Ralphie?). I was layered down with the warm-up, scarf, hat, hoodie, mittens, and boots. I grabbed the “travel stuff” – leashes, poop bags (like a girl scout must be “ever ready”), treats (in case they start to wander), and balls (can’t expect them to “create fun”). It never fails, no matter how much “junk” I tote, Lee will ALWAYS ask me for something I do NOT have, and this day, in the car, he didn’t fail me… I forgot the water!

We arrive at the park, and Lee proudly points out that we have the entire place to ourselves. I love this man, so I don’t remind him of the temperature. Once we find the perfect place for them to “let loose”, I forget all about the weather, as I watch them “play.” CORRECTION – as I watch “Leo” play… OMG, I know Harley’s a little older but my ” Frank Sinatra Doodle” gives a whole new meaning to doing it “My Way.”
