Jorja Smurf

Mike and I went to the bank today.  We needed to sign some papers for the cabin and have them notarized.  We also wanted to wire the money to Idaho.  Well, turns out our home equity loan went through.  The bank said that we had already used all of the new loan.  What?  We now owe an extra $190,000ish and have no cabin.  Luckily Mike has made sure he has talked to the same lady every time.  We sat there as she tried to find the money.  I could hear her say, "I know they haven't accessed this yet.  Where did it go?"  That was a little disconcerting. Anyway, the lady assured us that she will find the money and they will be able to wire it tomorrow.  Kind of scary how easy something like that could happen.  I was just talking to Maysen this morning about things like this.  She found a news article where Verizon charged someone two million dollars for his account that was open for a month.    Her statistics book had an anecdote about someone who was charged over four quadrillion for a subway ticket.  Wow!  That must have been some ride!

My scouts and I finished up the Spirit of the Water adventure.  Then they got to play around in the pool.  It was nice because Burke was sick last week and so disappointed that he missed scouts.  Nice he could come and swim one more time.

Jorja had her last softball game today.  Her team name was the Smurfs. Her friend Katlyn came and watched.  That was sure nice of her.  Mike and all the kids were there as well.  Jorja got to pitch the first inning. She did great for her first time pitching.  I love how she wants to try every position.  Catcher is still my favorite position to watch her play.

After a predetermined number of batters, Jorja switched with Addison who was in the outfield.  Jorja doesn't like the outfield very much.  This is the first game she played out there this season.  She also played shortstop today.
Jorja was up twice and got two great hits!  Her first hit she got in a pickle between first and second base.  Saturday she told me that they were supposed to practice getting in pickles, but they ran out of time. She was disappointed because she wanted to try that.  Today she got her wish.  She even survived and ended up on 2nd!

 Jorja ~ second time up
Jorja is so sad to see the softball season end.  She loves, loves, loves it.
