Things every girl should know

Now that Emily has her own car there are a few things she needed to learn.  She had a lesson in changing a flat tire and what to do if a stranger pulls up to assist.

What do you do with these?  She also learned the proper way to jump start a car.

I had her drive me up to the gas station so she could learn how to do that also.  I explained to her that with insurance and gas it costs her about $50.00 a week to drive a car.  The funny part was when we went to the local auto store and asked for a snow scraper.  They went into their storage to get one for her.  I think she may be ready now.

Let's Play Ball

Historic Baseball in Greenfield Village, No gloves, No bunting, No sliding, No cursing, No spitting.
We love to go on a sweaty summer afternoon to watch these guys play.  This Saturday the Lah-De-Dahs took on the Nationals.  They play by the rules of 1867 when baseball was played for the sole purpose of exercise, so it is nothing like baseball today.

This guy came rolling through about half way through the game.  You may notice that on the burm in the back is a rail road track.  The game has to stop when the train goes by so no one on the train gets hit with a ball.  They serve popcorn and old time soda and the even have a live band playing.
