Keep your eyes to the skies

Bittersweet times ahead.

Labor Day weekend ushers in the 'unofficial' end to Summer, though we may have weeks if not months left of nice weather!

I love Cleveland.

We always have a blow-out Labor Day weekend with the Indians usually in town, the Air Show, the Taste of Cleveland, live music all weekend long, the Oktoberfest, the Geauga County Fair, and so much more!

Speaking of bittersweet times, you know Mom is not feeling well if she skips the Indians Game.

Today was one of those days. Mom passed on the game and I went with a dear friend of ours.

I really enjoy the Indians' games this weekend because more than not, you will have air show planes buzzing by throughout the entire game!

You better keep your eyes to the skies: for the planes and the foul balls!

Sure enough, the roar of the planes kept the Indians and Twins on edge for half of the game but gave the crowd something to cheer.

What a treat!

I am determined NOT to let this weekend be the end of my summer. We've still got a lot of Indian summer living to do!!!!

No day at the beach

Well, technically, it WAS a beautiful day at the beach, except for the outcome of the game!

For people who say there is NOTHING to do in Cleveland, they are just crazy!

Over 100,000 folks visited Progressive Field this weekend. We went over two million fans!

And the Indians' organization put on the best and biggest beach party! They displayed huge sand castles and concoctions on Gateway Plaza. Had a live band playing Jimmy Buffet Saturday night. There were giveaways all weekend long and an amazing set up for Sunday Kids Fun Day!

And just a few blocks away, the Ingenuity Festival! Come on, Cleveland IS alive.

OK, back to the game. Well, if you are a baseball fan, the 1st five innings phenomenal. Jeremy Sowers was pitching a perfect game. He looked good. So we lost, but if you look beneath the surface, his performance did and does give hope!

I'm glad Asdrubal is back. Something VERY cool--the son of one of my co-workers, Ben, was picked as a Tribe Starting Line-up Kid and got to shake hands with Asdrubal. I can only imagine how pumped he was to stand on the field when all the players entered! Go Ben!

So we lost, but you can not beat grabbing a delicious brunch in the Terrace Club and then sitting in the July sun with an amazing breeze watching our favorite pasttime and the boys of summer.

Pinch me!
