And We Are Off....

OK, so I am a bit behind in my blogging. I had a mini meltdown over this bathroom project and am not going to talk about it anymore in this post. I am on vacation and will NOT be thinking about that room until we get back!!

I have some pictures of my Mammoth Sunflowers that were overwhelmingly mammoth and beautiful...However, I am a novice gardener and planted the seeds WAY TOO CLOSE together so they kind of overpowered each other and ended up a bit droopy. I did get some cool shots, nonetheless. And it could be the only time I have been happy to be near bees!!

On September 22nd we took a group trip down to Yankee Stadium to see the Yankees play the Blue Jays. The group was Wendy, my mom, Nate, his girlfriend Tisha, their friends Leo and Lana and myself. Matt Mott was nursing an inflamed nerve in his hip and could not come along. Below are several pictures from the game....and yes Jessi, I had to put Derek in there!!!

The first picture is of the group that went in my car, in our yankees gear. Yes that is my mom in a Derek Jeter shirt! The second picture is of the whole group, looking like drowned rats. (Sorry mom, it was the only group picture). The third picture is of John Turturo with Wang (Yankees Picture). It was "The Bronx is Burning" Day, which is an ESPN original series for those of you who don't know. The fourth picture needs no explanation, but just for Jessi I will say that is My Derek Jeter. The fifth picture is of Frank Thomas, Matt Mott's favorite player. The sixth picture is of Mariano Rivera. The seventh picure is Yankee Stadium and the last picture is the score board at the end of the game. Since it is a little blurry I will tell you the Yankees won 12-11 in 10 innings :-)

So that about brings us up to today...and in just a few hours we will be heading to the airport for our British Adventure (with a splash of Irish) so the next post will be about all the fun we are having there!! Cheerio!!
