Sadie & Women's College World Series

Sadie was thinking, " What are you talking about, Granddad, those are my toes you're tickling, not little pigs going to market". She was in good spirits this morning when we went out to visit. We went on down to the City Park where a youth fishing contest was underway and the Ground Breaking for "Independence Landing" was about to begin. The Landing is an extensive project involving a fishing pier to accommodate wheelchairs, an extensive renovation of the pond in cooperation with the Nebraska Game and Parks, etc.  When completed, it will be a great addition to the City Park system.  We watched the Nebraska-Florida game in the Women's College World Series this evening. It was certainly an emotion filled game. After a heart-breaking loss to Washington in the first game of the Series in extra innings, two trips to storm shelters in yesterday storms in Oklahoma City, they came from behind by scoring 3 runs in the bottom of the 7th to take the game into extra innings. Florida regained the lead with a HR in the top of the 10th and went on to load the bases without further scoring. Nebraska's Taylor Edwards hit a HR over the centerfield fence in the bottom of the inning and though they loaded the bases were unable to put it away. After outstanding plays by both teams the game finally ended when Florida scored 2 runs in the top of the 15

th and though Nebraska scored  a run in the bottom of the 15th, they lost on a close call at 3rd base. 

 I think Sadie is laughing at me for staying up so late to see the end of the game.
