Next Time I am Wearing a Crown instead of a Cap!

Next time I am Wearing a Crown Instead of a Cap!

It is Sunday afternoon in Darnestown Maryland. As my husband and I walk together all the guys are so glad to see me. "Hi, Audrey, we are so glad to see you." "Hey look everyone look, Audrey is here." My husband and I just grin. You see, it is Spring and Coed Neighborhood Softball has started in Darnestown and the women are a must. It is not because I am so good, they just need 3 breathing females on the team to play!

Then Linda and her husband show up, and the same thing happens. Hey, everyone, Linda is here and so on. We girls laugh and say we have not been this popular since our wedding days. The guys make us feel like queens because they need at least 3 of us in order to play!

In our town we have six softball teams that are made up of from different neighborhood combinations. You must own/ live in the Darnestown area of Gaithersburg to be able to play. Each team must have three women playing at all times. There are several rules that have been put into place for safety purposes. There is no sliding into home plate. The men have to bat opposite until they are 50, then they can bat normal. For some of the guys, it doesn't matter - they still knock it out of the park. The women use a smaller ball than the men. There are all kinds of little rules to keep it safe and fair for the girls.

There is a six foot circle drawn around the home plate so there is no pushing the catcher out of the way in order to score. That is good news to me seeing how I am the catcher for my team.

My husband, Mike, is the pitcher. He does a pretty good job. However, when he is not on his game and I sigh, not having anything to do with the fact that he is about to walk another person and we might lose the game because their best hitter is on deck kind of sigh. No, it would have anything to do with that, and Mike can still hear my sigh only like a husband can. It can be amusing to say the least.

The games have umpires, strikes are called, and batters are walked. It can be pretty exciting. Scores, wins and losses are kept and there is even a trophy at the end of the year. Neighbors bring their lawn chairs and cheer their neighbors on. After the game is over, we sit and visit, watch the next game if there is one, have a beer. It is a great way to know your neighbors in a small town way that is not normal in the DC suburbs.

It is neighborhood softball and is a lot of fun, there are those that you have to remind them that they are not in the World Series, but I guess that is just how some folks are. All I know is next week when I need a boost in morale; all I have to do is show up to the ball field.

How many people does it take to screw in a light bulb?

 Walmart is being proactive during the month of April and Earth Day. They have put out many commercials to get us to wake up and know we can make a big difference. Yes, we can all make a difference one person at time. In this case one light bulb at time.

They have figured out that if all of their 200 million consumers change just one light bulb to the energy efficient bulbs would be like taking 11 million cars off of the road.

Wow, that is pretty powerful to think that one little light bulb could make such a difference? So, lets try for an entire package and see where what improvements we can make as a group!

This got me thinking. Scary, but it did. I am big for giving settlement gifts. I think that I will now add a pack of energy efficient light bulbs to each settlement gift for each client and see if I can get even more folks to change these bulbs. I would also urge them to have their friends and family do the same! I am thinking that I will take them to the walk through and change them right then and there so they don't lay around the house.

What if we all added a pack of energy light bulbs to help the cause? I encourage you all to "give a pack" of energy efficient bulbs to your clients at settlement!!
