Here is Abby having Macaroni and Beef with watermellon and blueberries for dessert. She ate it all....I'd say she's ok..she has a very slight fever but she's fine....I let her have some very dilluted ginger ale...I remember when I was a little girl, my Mom always gave us ginger ale and it somehow made everything better.....maybe it was my Mom being such a caring Mom!!!

I told her "wave to your Mom and Dad" and she did ha.....

We probably should have explained why she's wearing a different outfit....she took a "tossle" in her little pool...she fell straight back and got 99% wet...she was mad for a little bit ... but she didn't mind...it's so hot out today....don't worry I have the A/C on....this is an A/C day.....

Hi Mom and Dad -- I'm fine at Grammie's....

Look at Theresa...she's like one of the "kids"...she is so tiny....you'd never guess she has 3 grown "guys"....She is one to be "admired"....she does EVERYTHING great--including jumping in the Saco on a Hot New Hampshire Day!!! Great Photograph Sammy....

THE CONWAY DAILY SUN, Tuesday, July 8, 2008— Page 27
SPORTS--CONWAY — After dropping a pair of games
on Saturday to league-leading North Country,
the MWV Senior Babe Ruth baseball
team returned to the diamond on Sunday at
Bob Burns Field and split a doubleheader
with Littleton. The visitors took the opener

but the MWV boys claimed the nightcap 7-6
in extra innings.
MWV is coached by Bob Burns, Chris
Kevlin, Paul Getchell and Steve Larson. The
team is sponsored this summer by Abbott’s
Ice Cream and Sound Resort.
MWV made the most of just seven hits,
including three by Nick Kevlin and a pair
by Jeff Sires while Matt Paisley and Mike
Larson added singles.
The local nine had to come from behind to
tie the gave at fi ve in the bottom of the seventh
on Kevlin’s second double of the day
along with a pair of passed balls.
An unearned run in the top of the eighth
put Littleton in front once again, but MWV
showed its comeback spirit. Walks to Dave
Ingram, Ben Brownell an Larson loaded the
bases. Kevlin tied the game with an RBI
single and Sires won it with a two-out walkoff
blast to deep right-center.
Ingram went the distance on the mound
for MWV in game two, striking out six, walk-

most, according to Coach Burns. He was aided by
two inning-ending double-plays — one in the third
inning, when a sharp ground ball was hit to George
Weigold at third with runners on fi rst and second at
the time. He stepped on third for one out and then
threw to fi rst in time to complete the double-play. A

July 5 - Ride to Shapleigh, Maine

We took a leisurely ride home from Sebago...we went through a few little towns up in Maine....We found this adorable little country store and common in Shapleigh, Maine. We went in a talked to the "Fire Chief"...his name was Dwane...he explained that there are only 1800 residents in the Winter. He siad he's the Fire Chief and he gave me some really nice patches...I think I'll see if Jesse would like one. I was so honored that he gave me these. He told us it was a really hard Winter this year...but he didn't care...he also plows the snow...so he said he was fine. He has a country store and restaurant in this quaint little building. It's a pretty area but way too far away from home for me.

July 4 - Raytheon Friends...

Watch out for these guys!!!

We had a nice visit with Jimmy and Ginny Fitzgerald as well as Eddie and Joan Greenwood....Jeff has worked with these guys for years....we took a ride over to Eddie and Joan's home in Standish on the other side of the lake...we left a photograph of Abby and Jeff in their mailbox...we did not realize they were home...they took a ride over to our lake for a quick visit. They all love it up there .. especially when the Summer weather is here ....
