Most of you know that I am a St. Louis Cardinal fan and I have been for many years.  One of my favorite memories is of my dad sitting in the front yard listening to the Cardinal ball game on his little transistor radio. 

I really hated to make mention of the Cardinals winning because I seem to jinx them when I get carried away.  So I will just say ‘Go Cards’ and leave it at that.

I just received a call from my oncologists office and my appointment has been changed till late afternoon.  I am not very happy about that as I hate a late afternoon appointment.  If I would have rescheduled I would have been looking at an appointment several weeks down the road and that just wouldn’t do.

I hope you all have a good week.  It is hot and summery here with the temp to reach the upper 80s today.

Stay safe and be happy!

Spring is coming….

Another beautiful morning checking in at 38 degrees.  It is to reach the upper 50s today.  It is 8 more days till the first day of Spring,  I know that spring is coming because I have seen numerous birds the last couple of days.  No robins yet but I know they are on their way!

I got up early to do laundry this morning.  It was still dark at 7 AM  It is just now starting to get light.  I am not a fan of DST.  I am a fan of baseball though and I am getting ready to cheer my ST Louis Cardinals on to another winning season.  Perhaps we will end up facing the Red Sox again and have another chance.

There is always next year…

Congrats to the Red Sox.  They really did earn their World Series Championship title although it pains me a little bit to say so. I hope you are getting some pics of the celebration there Paul.

It is pouring rain here this morning as it did all day yesterday.  We had some thunder and lightning last night and I thought the power was going for awhile.  I really don’t like this kind of weather this time of year.  We are expecting 2 more inches of rain today.

I was up early this morning and have already exercised.  I am waiting to cool down before I have breakfast.  Tomorrow morning is an appointment with the ophthalmologist.  I hope I spelled that right.  In plain English I am getting my eyes checked.  This appointment is 6 months overdue.

I am back to going through CDs again.  I sent 52 CDs to my niece in West Virginia.  Can you believe I got them all in a brown envelope?? 

I am trying to decide what else I will do today.  I also have been going through my big recipe notebook that I put together in 1998.  I will be posting some recipes to my recipe site soon.  So I might  work on that some more today.

I hope the sun is shining wherever you are.  Stay safe and be happy!!

The agony of defeat…

Last night’s game between the Cards and the Red Sox was very painful to watch!  Between Cardinal errors and an unsympathetic umpire my team got walloped 8 – 1.  The Cardinals are known for rising from the ashes so watch out Boston, St. Louis is out to getcha.  I do congratulate the Red Sox for their victory last night, I just hope they don’t have anymore. 

I have been to a doctor appointment in Peoria this morning.  It was doing some serious snow flurrying there.  By the time I got home the sun was trying to come out.

And now I am not in the mood to do anything at all so I guess I won’t.  I have finished sorting CDs for the time being.  I have a pretty good size package to send to my niece in West Virginia.  I am not mailing containers which is a good thing as the package is very heavy without them.

Some of the leaves are starting to look pretty decent here now so I will have to get out with my camera tomorrow.

After the Big Bang theory tonight I will switch over to the ball game and hope that things are better.  I hope you all have a good weekend.  Stay safe and be happy!!
