HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEITH

Well today is fellow blogger Keith's birthday and he is 46 or 47 years old today, maybe he can confirm his actual age. I was able to come up with another nice birthday picture but it is getting harder and harder to find old photos that I haven't used before. Well again HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEITH. The Appomattox Insurance softball team picked up a win in our first game of the playoffs last night 13-8 over Attention To Detail, AI will play again tonight at 6:30pm against Oakley Tank Lines. AI didn't play it's best game last offensively or defensively but we were able to come away with a W. The playoffs will finish up Thursday night as long as the weather stays good. In the World Series last night the Cardinals beat the Tigers 5-0 and with the victory now lead the series 2-1, game 4 will be tonight in St. Louis. Also with a few purchases online last night I am now more 50% finished my Christmas shopping. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEITH, MICKEY

The kind of beauty I want most is the hard-to-get kind that comes from within - strength, courage, dignity.
