It's Baseball Season!

Two games in and so far the Mariners are doing well. Then they started off tonight's game in Oakland with TWO home runs in the first inning! The first one from the lead-off batter Gutierrez...

I had picked up some Mariner's Spring Training shirts for some of my great-nephews and great-niece. This afternoon I got this neat picture from Niece Becky of her son Case and his new shirt. I get such a kick out of this age when you get those wonderful cheesy grins when you try to take a picture.

I have spent most of the day off and on, getting stuff organized for my trip to Kansas City in the morning. After a thorough search, we finally decided that we had left our two suitcases in the storage shed at the ranch... So I am packing everything in my Laural Burch bag, which is fine except it does not have wheels. I'll only be gone for two nights, so it shouldn't be too heavy.

The cheapest flight from Phoenix to KC is on Southwest Airlines, almost by half. I really dislike flying SW, but since my way is being paid... ;-(

We wondering what the traffic will be like in the morning. My flight leaves at 7:55 and we've been trying to figure what time we have to leave here. It's a good thirty plus miles to the airport, so you know it's going to be an early morning.

Resting Up

I sure was tired today! One thing I'm beginning to realize more and more. I don't snap back the way I used to. It just seems to take a little longer every trip. I haven't even emptied my carry-on suitcase...

We watched the Mariners game and enjoyed seeing them beat Oakland 5-3. We actually watched Bull Riding twice. They had a 15-15 this afternoon (top 15 riders matched against the top 15 bulls), then broadcast the regular show from the Indianapolis Arena this evening. Made for a nice afternoon of TV watching.

These are pictures of another plant with flowers that I have not identified:

It's by itself outside the door of one of the more permanent RV Park residents. I've not seen any others like it, but it sure is pretty.

One of the things I really enjoyed while I was in Indiana was getting to see all of the tulips and daffodils in bloom as we drove back and forth from the motel to the church where we were meeting. The church ladies had bouquets of spring flowers all around the meeting areas that included lilacs and bleeding hearts as well. All of the flowers that don't grow in the south! I've missed them.
