When summer rolled around, I wanted to take day trips on the weekends, but Peter had joined the Paradise Bar softball team. We spent Saturdays and Sundays at the Jamaica Plain softball field.

I hated it at first, but I grew to enjoy being out in the sun every weekend, having fun with the rest of the team. Eventually, I was a Team Spouse, bringing brownies and beers for the boys. These were the guys that went to Atlanta with us.
