Take me out to the local Ballgame….

One of the advantages of living in a smaller town where most of the businesses are not chains, especially the restaurants, is that you get to know the owners. One of our favorite places to get burgers is a couple of towns over but we have gotten to know the owners very well over the years. So much so that we are in line for tickets to the Long Island Ducks from them. They have season tickets right behind home plate and one row back. It is a great place to watch the dame from. The tickets they don’t use or their kids don’t use, they give to their customers so the tickets don’t go to waste.
Last night was our night for the seats. Peter was running on just a little sleep and a bit of a nap but he made it through the game. Caroline got antsy around the 2nd inning and then again in the bottom of the 8th but she made it through the whole game. It is amazing what a single cup of chocolate ice cream can do to occupy a four year old.
The Ducks won by a score of 2 to 0. It was a pitcher’s duel all the way. Good game to watch.
Today I am getting together with my oldest friend for lunch and probably some more fabric shopping. Tomorrow is another one of our running around days with the kids but we hope to get a movie in.
It is nice to be home again.
I am grateful for my local fabric stores.
