Boy, did husband pick the right game tickets for son!
Twenty-eight years to get there and the Phillies won it tonight!
We don’t expect to see our son home for many hours yet. If he could, he would be the last out of the ball park, but even though his Uncle is a Saint for taking him, [...]

Son is going to see the Phillies game tonight ~ again! Because of the rain cancellation on Monday, they are finishing the game tonight. First time in World Series history. Wonderful Uncle is stepping up to the plate, so to speak, to make the arduous journey into the city again.
Here is the stuff parents do [...]

Son is going to see the Phillies tonight! DH arranged for sons’ uncle to take him, so he dodged the claustrophobic issue.
Son went out to catch the bus wearing: Phillies Championship tee-shirt, Eagles jersey over that, then another Phillies jersey over the whole sha-bang. He goes from football practice straight to the game. That boy [...]

Here’s a few more woods pictures from a walk today. Swear I’d be in good shape if it was Fall all year! As usual, heard and saw lots of squirrels, heard the sharp squeak of chipmunks, but they seem to be more elusive than their squirrel brethren. Saw lots of deer tracks and tree rubs but [...]

This out of the mouth of one of sons’ friends as he sat down to a Hag-Style breakfast feast.
I explained that since I only have one kid, not three ~ like his Mom does ~ there would be a difference. (Still, I feels a bit smug though!)
I made hot cocoa on the stove from scratch, [...]

Every Spring I rue not planting more bulbs in the Fall. Oh, I’ve planted hundreds of ‘em. I think critters eat many and some just don’t make it. All’s I know that: in the Spring, I realize I didn’t plant enough in the Fall. I have one area by our driveway where I’ve planted 100’s [...]

… with a honkin’ big cup of joe, trying to shake the sleepys off. The World Series is wreaking havoc with sleep schedules at our house. We don’t have the heart to make 12 yr. old go to bed in the middle of the game, so I let him catch another 1/2 hour of sleep [...]

Son’s football game yesterday was in my old home town. The same field where my Mom was a cheerleader in a knee-length woolen skirt about 60 years ago. Cool, huh?
Well, the home team won and our boys went home with nothing but bruises, alas! It’s still a kick to watch though. It was true “football [...]

Thanks to U2 for the title.
Decided to take a walk, it was so nice out. A little nip to the air, a blue, blue sky. Grabbed camera hoping to catch some wild life. The woods were crawling with squirrel and chipmunk, but not a one would pose for me. I think I heard some wild [...]

Right now a tribe of boys are running somewhere around on our 36 acres, playing “Capture the Flag”. It’s a beautiful night ~ moon due to rise soon. Part of me yearns to be out there playing too. Don’t think that would go over too well, but I’ve got strategies and secret hiding places that [...]
