Today was not only Pajolie’s Opening Day in her first season of T-Ball but the first opening day for our family. Pajolie, aka Payton Jo, is my oldest granddaughter. Although she has tried dance lessons this is her first softball experience. In organized softball the first weekend of the season is accompanied by the league’s pomp and circumstance ceremony. You can tell the newbies. They are the small young girls that are wondering what this is all about, what they should do. Next year they will be the veterans.
Payton’s sister and dad were there to experience it along with her. Three year old Parker, had big eyes, it was hard on her as she has always been her sister’s companion, now on the sidelines, a spectator. I could sense it, watching her stare at the scene and all the older multicolored uniformed girls.
Four o’clock, game time. Actually more like 4:20, and the Blue Diamonds were ready to play. In the crowd were her Mom, Dad, sister, Patti and even Zoey (our Frenchie) there to see the action. Along about the third inning her Uncle Joe and cousin Jameson came to participate.
A great day to start a career, a great day to enjoy the family. Keep your head down when swinging Pajolie and run hard……. and enjoy every inning of the game.
