RE: Rainy days

Hey,

Looks like summer is finally here!

How ya doing? I’ve been working hard in my garden on the weekends. It keeps me busy but gives me time to think of you. 

It seems that I might not get many opportunities on Wednesdays for the summer (although maybe we can sneak one or two in anyway) but when one door closes another opens. Let me know what you think, but our company let’s us leave early (~2:30) on Fridays. Is that something that could fit in your schedule? Let me know if you have any other ideas.

Nice!
I’m thinking about an ark

always a combo of fun and pain in the ass getting a new model.
6:48PM Phil
Yeah but always fun new things : ) 

6:48PM Sassy
Especially with you
6:48PM Phil
Ha! 
6:55PM Sassy
I’ll huddle with you… and let you tackle me.
7:03PM Phil
Ha!  That’s not exactly the rules and you would have to wear a football jersey from my team
7:04PM Sassy
Nah… if you’re tackling me I get to wear nothing.
Just ordered dinner delivered.  Gonna have some more nachos.
8:18PM Phil
Ha! Cool : )

Good morning! 
Typing on my new phone, a light and thin Nexus5x from Google Fi. I halved my bill!
9:37AM Sassy
Preakness Day!  Time for more horses!  Can Nyquist win again?! 
12:14PM Sassy
Good afternoon!

I’m outside with Mom on her veranda.  Her face is looking much better!

8:56PM Sassy

Fun stuff about Red Sox pitcher Joe Kelly coming back from the DL with an incredible 1 hit performance! But what is this about Cleveland walking Jackie Bradley Jr intentionally TWICE when he’s trying to extend a 25-game hitting streak? I guess I get it from a “he’s too dangerous to let hit” coaching decision… but it’s crappy. He got a hit later on anyway. GO JBJ!
