TEN DAYS SINCE MY LAST BLOG


Here we are into March
We have four days left
before heading to British Columbia

We've had some pretty
amazing sunsets over the
past week or so










We had Gabby for 5 days
(our next door neighbour's cat)
By the time Gabby went home
she and Bing were
becoming best buds



Here they come again
This time there are three of them....



Holy Cow
he's coming right for us!



I can even see what he is wearing!!!

Too close for comfort I think


Our dentist gave us hockey tickets
How lucky were we



The Coyotes warming up



Stephanie and I have lunch at the Wildflower
every Thursday
(if we can)

We were there Thursday
for our last lunch
until next November
We have the same 'thing' each time

She has potato soup
with half a sandwich
I have fresh fruit
with granola and yogurt
Can't forget to add....
extra banana bread

Then

We go to
See's candy store
YUM YUM



The American met us at
The Wildflower
 last week!
(Lisa)



This week we took in a
spring training ball game
Our friend Ken joined us

We had a nice surprise

Fergie Jenkins
from Chatham Ontario
(our home town)
was at the park
promoting his book

Fergie
My Life From The Cubs to Cooperstown

Fergie is the only Canadian
to be inducted into the
baseball hall of fame



Last time I saw Fergie was at the
McGregor High School reunion
about 4 or 5 years ago



There were several  lads from the Armed Forces
at the game
Most had artifical limbs
We could not get over how young they were
Just boys



This pitcher had a unique way of throwing the ball

The Oakland A's were playing
the Padres

It was a good game
and
a good day

  6. YES, it was 10 days since the last post! I checked every day, too. Thanks for your beautiful sunset donations last Thursday. Lots of people were hoping their number would be called.

    Safe travels as you head north. If you are anywhere near SD as you head east, give us a call.
