According to area weathermen, the 44 degree temperature was a record low for this day in the Baton Rouge area, breaking the previous mark of 51 set back in 1956 - the year of my birth.
Despite the cool temperatures, there are definite signs in my little world that summer is just around the corner.
For one thing, the sports season at LSU is nearly over with. Baseball, softball, and track are the only sports still competing - and their respective post-season tournaments are either currently underway or will begin soon.
Geaux Tigers !
Another sign that spring is nearly over with is that Mother's Day has come and gone. And though I did not get a chance to spend Mother's day with my Mom in Houston, I was fortunate enough to host a Mother's Day gathering at our home with My Better Half, my two daughters and their families (including all 6 grandkids)!
Prior to our Mother's Day gathering, I got the opportunity to watch two of my oldest grandson Randy's flag football games for the first time!
Randy is very quickly budding into quite the little athlete, and scored his (and his TEAM's) first touchdown of the season this past weekend. He took a handoff from his quarterback and dashed about 30 yards untouched and into the endzone!
Randy also begins his first season of "Coaches Pitch" baseball this summer. Two of our other grandkids - Kaleigh (softball) and Conner (first year of tee-ball) - have also begun their summer seasons!
Conner is our 5-year old grandson. He officially begins his summer today, as he graduated from kindergarten yesterday!!
Yes, kindergarten classes actually hold graduation ceremonies, complete with shirts, ties, caps and gowns!
Hard to believe our little man, Conner, will be a first grader in the fall !!
It is certain that this little dose of cool weather will pass through south Louisiana in the next day or so and our hot, humid, summer-like days will return.
It is also certain that I can be found on the golf course very, very soon. Look for me there !!
Until next time...
