Well, most of us knew that the Brewers were outmatched last week against the L.A. Dodgers, and they certainly were!!!
My prediction for the World Series shootout is: L.A. Dodgers vs. New York Yankees!!! We’ll see what happens!!!
Jessica Hager put up a nice 245 game last week on the T&C League. Jessica sports a 153 average on that league.
I’ll put up some high averages on several leagues next week!!

Good Neighbors
After living in our house for four years, we were moving-out-of-state.
My husband had backed the UHaul truck up to our garage door so that we could start loading all of the boxes.
Just then one of our neighbors came walking across the lawn carrying a plate full of cookies.
“Isn’t that thoughtful,” my husband said to me.
“They must have realized that we packed up all of our kitchen stuff,” I said.
The neighbor walked up, stuck out her hand with the plate of cookies and said cheerfully, “Welcome to the neighborhood!”
For Sale by Owner
A homeowner posted the following on a Real Estate site: “For Sale. Nice three-bedroom, 2-bath house. Selling as is because of some termite damage. Don’t wait. This nice house won’t last long!”
