One more day of work and then I am taking a mini vacation. Yeah!!!!!!. I can not wait. Work tomorrow night then dont have to go back to that dark hole until next tuesday. I really hate my job. Oh well, at least it pays the bills. There are worse things in life. We all know that. right. Saturday is the memorial softball tournament in Bruces memory. It will be so awesome to see all his friends again. There are six teams and each team payed 100 bucks to get in. Two of the teams are guys that Bruce has played with in the past 20yrs or so. His best friends formed a team and bought tye dye shirts for the team to wear.( Bruces favorite shirt). The name of their team is friends of Bruce. There will be trophies for the winners. They say Bruce Rankin memorial tournament on them. My daughter made black ribbons for everyone to wear that say Bruce and then has his # on it. All $ is going to be donated to the American heart association. I contacted the paper and hope that they will come. I have about 50 people coming as spectators even some of our friends from Canada are coming. I cant wait,its going to be awesome and I am so proud the guys are doing this in his honor. It goes to show what mark he made.And how much he touched everyone he met. I will post pictures when I have them.
