[Jhalkias]

OK, WHY is Ortiz wearing swim goggles in the dugout???

Guttierez flies out to deep center.

Down to our last out with Casey Blake up.

 

[Jhalkias]

Coco Crisp makes a slam into the wall catch in DEEPER center field, and the game is over.

Sorry to give you the play by play V.

I was hoping for a better ending.

Good luck Red Sox.

Good night Thieves.

John1 and V. Sorry for the loss. We are not, as I said, baseball watchers usually but we were pulling for you one this one. John1, your play by play was fun to read.....well until the end anyway.

The sun was shining, the breeze was calm, the temperature was warm.....a beautiful day for an auction.

I left the house and went to mom's 15 minutes before the start. The sun went away, the wind kicked up, it was cold.....we held the auction inside. The house sold for $144.....I'm grateful for the sale....but just about break even.....no profit to be made. How sad for such a grand home. I saw all the people bidding on it in mom's dining room and remembered all the times in her kitchen.....it was hard to see strangers standing there bidding on it. Now, we put it behind us and move forward onto a Wonderful vacation.

Brother hen already left for the hotel. I probably won't see him for a very long time. I'm sure he'll call all the time though. I told him to let me know as soon as he gets a ship. I'd like to know where he is in the world.

The sun is shining once again, the breeze is calm and the temperature is warm......could mom have been upset about selling her home at auction, since the weather changed exactly at 2pm and was sunny by 3pm when the auction ended!?!

Deb,

I know that it is not necessarily what you wanted, but in this climate, it's great that you sold the house!

Mom could have been a bit upset, but I know that she would have wanted you to be able to move on... it's best to be able to move on, as I'm sure that you know!

Enjoy moving on and enjoying your upcoming trip!

Given the 50-50 chance of it selling at all.....I guess we did ok.....we were on the upside of the odds. It was very hard to be there. I declined to go to the closing. I said I'm finished. The lawyer will handle it without me and I trust her 100%

Now it's time to make up for lost time.....lucky to have a fun vacation in five days and then when we get back, we only have two weeks until Turkey day with the relatives and more DISmeets! All good things. I'm very thankful!

Deb,

Thankfully, there's a few more weeks till Turkey day!! We don't get on our 7 day Eastern until November 10th and that's just slightly less than 3 weeks! Then WDW after that for the week of Thanksgiving!

South East Conference.....GOT IT now! Thanks! I never would have figured that one out on my own. And regarding the whole DL confusion, I always thought the abbreviation for Delaware was DE.

DITTO from West Coast DL thinker!!

So after church we headed out of town, had lunch with my mom and my aunt, then went to the zoo. I had forgotten that the only thing going on is the Zoo Boo. Our local zoo doesn't do that until next week, so I just didn't even think the zoo we went to would be doing it already. SO, we get there completely unprepared and are an hour away from home, so we couldn't just run home for Tyler's costume. We ran to a Goodwill store down the road and lucked out, finding a hockey jersey with a skeleton on it, and a very used hockey helmet, and Tyler was thrilled. He told me, "It's OK mom that I don't have my pirate costume because I can still use that for the Halloween party at school and trick or treating at my dad's." I'm so lucky he's such a good sport! So for $3.85, we had a makeshift costume that made him happy.

Lovely pictures Holly. Tyler looks cute in that outfit, though he won't like being told that at 5 years old!!! Nice picture of you both together too - you're looking good!!!

Good morning!

Time to get over the Indians hangover.

I don't even want to read the paper today.

Just remember how much you love you wife for talking you into Disney!! How fun is that!!

 

[disneylover5]

Anyone else go to the $300 store this weekend? (Costco).

I had to laugh....I spent $300.48 this weekend.

It made me think of you guys!!

It's raining! Not much but at least it's water. We are in such a bad drough. They say we have about 90 days of water left. I can't believe that there has been a fight for years over some fish! I am all for saving an endangered animal but not at the risk of humans!

 

[lillygator]

looks like a nice day out. But I have a ton of stuff to get through today so I will busy busy busy! No one wanted to get up in our house today!

 

[1Grumpy John]

you had me on the edge of my seat and I don't watch baseball. I am deeply sorry for the outcome and if it helps I'll start rooting for the Indians now for next year.

 

[lillygator]

wow - the morning is zipping right by!
