Happy Anniversary
Every year, we have had a goal of watching fireworks in different places. This year, we were suppose to watch fireworks in Seattle, Washington; canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Brian and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary by watching fireworks in Clear Lake, IN; about a 3 2.5-3 hours from the house. Observing social distancing (mask, distance), we parked our car on the side of the lake along a road and enjoyed the sights over/around the lake.

Brians' Bucket List
On Tuesday, July 7th Brian checked off a bucket list item. We attended a Summer Collegiate Baseball League (modified due to COVID-19) in Kalamazoo, MI home of the Kalamazoo Growlers of the Northwood League. This year due to COVID restrictions in not only in Michigan but in other states who have teams (MI- 3; IN-1; IL-1; WI-9; MN-5; IA-1; ND-1; Northwest Ontario), the Growlers , which also owns a team down the street (Battle Creak Bombers), created a 3rd team to play round robin with throughout the summer. . The creation of the 3rd team, the Mac Daddies, originated as an alternate jersey game the team plays annually. The Mac Daddies is a tribute to the well known Mac and Cheese Festival hosted in Kalamazoo in the fall. https://www.macandcheesemi.com/
Due to decrease attendance (only allowed 100 person gatherings in Michigan), when walking into the stadium, they asked if he/I would want to throw out the first pitch, which Brian quickly agreed too and was able to complete something on his bucket list. I am happy to write, that without any warm-up, Brian threw the ball over the plate and directly to the catcher.
