Witness old time family baseball fun!

Driving home from work tonight, I passed the town's baseball field.  No games were scheduled tonight, yet a game was in full force. The players were a mom, a dad, three young sons, and a younger daughter.


The car windows were down as I was enjoying the warm early fall evening. All I could hear were cheers, laughter, the "tink" of the bat hitting the ball.

I'm sure this sort of thing happens in every town and city, but I still felt like the luckiest person in the world to come upon it tonight.

As one who never had the chance to have children and my own family in that sense, I loved that scene. I will think of it often when something tries to get me down. Simple family fun. 

I am a Putnamaniac because it is a great place for families to have fun together!
