And my final words for this season:

This was the 1st year that I recall that we had no rain-outs and it seemed like the weather was always good.  We did struggle with having a vacant team, but everyone made it work.  Hope everyone has a wonderful fall and winter, stay healthy, and hope to see you all next Spring.
