That sounds like such a fun family time you all had together. I love Napoleona’s “it’s not broken, it’s fractured” remark. That sounds like such a fun family time you all had together.

The cast conveniently prevents her from helping around the house, but not consuming sweets. Charlotte: Barbecue would have been nice, too. Gypsy: We call them bleachers or stands. I'm somehow shocked that you've never had root beer. It's quite good, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream :) Sarah: It is indeed new! Margaretha: Welcome! The trees do look quite Scandinavian. My spring image was by Mr. Van Gogh, but this one is a detail of a painting by someone by the name of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkhip_Kuindzhi" rel="nofollow">Arkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi</a> (lots of variant spellings out there) who was born in what is now Ukraine.

I have never seen baseball live but I just imagine sitting in the 'bleachers' (is that what you call them - we call then 'stands') and eating a bit ol' hotdog and root beer. Not that I've ever had root beer but I'm just convinced I'd like it. Oh that sounds like so much all American fun!

My equivalent South African day would be watching kids play cricket and then having a braai (barbeque). Clearly, I am going to have to go and live in Australia.

We'll have to get Silly Billy and 3B together to play baseball sometime, although 3B's arm isn't quite as good as SB's. I’m glad to hear that her cast didn’t keep Napoleona from eating ice cream.
