Baseball matinee




It does not get much better than this!



An Indians-Red Sox matinee out in the open air with the sunshine god holding me in the palm of his hand.



I guess I am a loner, though I don't want to be alone forever, especially when I get old.



I enjoy hitting the ballgame at noon alone under the pounding sun in the open air, temps in the 70's.



There's nothing like watching Major League Baseball to get your juices flowing at the same time relaxing your mind, heart, and soul.



I hate to admit it, but not having a spouse or children at this juncture, this is one of my only true joys. I guess my Cleveland Indians are the children who bring extreme joy to my life.



My Mother used to tell me I was her everything, her reason for living who brought her total joy.


Well, I understand now what she was talking about.



In the course of a 3 hour baseball game, I can run through the gamut of expressions and emotions--and usually do.



There were more people on hand that have been at any game I've been to all season, except for opening day. What an exciting day!



From the very young to the very old sitting side by side enjoying the pure game of baseball. The players from both teams giving it their all. Sometimes outstanding defense and a pitching gem totally outshines a mammoth homerun.



Thursday's game simply awesome. An Indians win 1-0 still allowing me to get to my next event on time.



It really doesn't get much better than this.



The only thing that would have made it come close to perfection is either Mom sitting next to me or the man of my dreams enjoying baseball as much as me.

Tears streaming down my face

The minute I arrived at the Lake House, the laughter began and never stopped until I pulled out of the marina.

I can not remember a time when I laughed so long, so hard. My face was chapped by the tears streaming down my rosy cheeks, and my belly ached as we constantly chuckled.

A few times, I drifted into the family laughter trait where we make no sound and can not breathe because we are shaking, laughing, and have absolutely no control over our functions.

Then there is the snort, which many of us did back at college....and when the snort began again, the laughter picked up to a level not experienced in months.

I missed Terry's laugh. He has a wonderful laugh which I have missed hearing for 22 years. I did not even have to hear or know why he was laughing. Just hearing HIM and seeing him smile from cheek to cheek brought a smile to my face.

Being the finite person I am, I have no idea what Heaven will portray.

I sure hope it mimics the weekend I just spent with my dearest college friends.

Playing in the sand with the Cleveland Indians


Well, not really, but wouldn't that be a hoot!

It was Beach Weekend at Progressive Field!

I love this weekend.

They have done it for a number of years now and it's a treat for the kids and for those of us still 'young at heart.'

I'm a tropical girl anyway so sun, sand, and baseball = HEAVEN!
