Wordless Wednesday – I Miss Baseball

mile high

(I know the playoffs are happening now, but the A’s and Rockies aren’t in them, so my season is over)

Day 25 – Something I’m looking forward to

I’m looking forward to next Friday! Not only is it my first day off work in 2 weeks, it’s also… MY BIRTHDAY! And Violet and I are celebrating by going to Rockies opening day – BASEBALL IS BACK!!

Stand Up to Cancer with MLB

If you haven’t picked up on the fact that I am a HUGE baseball fan, then you haven’t read my blog before. Suffice it to say, after my daughter, husband, cats & family, I love baseball the most. Violet already cheers “Go Rockies!” when we watch or listen to it (though she also says that [...]

Perfect

Today was perfect in so many ways. From a big hug and her first “uv oo” in reply to me saying “Love you!”, to Dallas Braden’s perfect game, the day was perfect. Scott got me Starbucks first thing in the morning. I haven’t had Starbucks since December! We went to Maxfund to drop off our [...]

Road Trip!
