house & baseball

Here is our home, in its summer glory. I just spent an hour talking to our next-door neighbor, who is like my 2nd mom, outside in the hot sun, just because that's the kind of neighborhood it is. She was gardening the island, I was taking this pic, and we started talking, and talking...

In response to (e:leetee) comment about house history, we are fortunate to be friends and neighbors with the family who lived in this house for 50+ years. They tell us stories and even showed us photos of the house. Isn't that awesome?!

We took family trip to Toronto on Monday for Yankees game b/c my father-in-law is huge Y fan, and that's his Father's Day present. Guess what celebrity showed up before the game and is on the big-screen in this pic below? David Beckham! That made my day.

There a pitch and you look to see if you what you thought the call was, was what was called. It is a sport where you look all over the field. But on TV it is boaring kinda maybe because on the screen you see everything and don't have any thing to do between pitches, I'm not sure just guessing. I don't know much about Beckham other then that his wife has a reality show and used to be one of the spice girls but no idea who she was. If you want to see more of him I'm sure a sports page on line can tell you when or if he has started playing for the LA team. MLS is on tv if not on any other channel there is an entire soccer channel. In terms of the secret greeting I have no suggestions really :) .

Did you hear that yesterday's (Tuesday) Blue Jays/Yankees game had 2 brawls? (I confess - I don't follow, but I heard guys talking about it.) That would have been interesting to see.

Thanks for the welcome! It's been fun. I was around Elmwood/Auburn today and kept looking at people, thinking, are YOU blogging on estrip? I think we should wear a secret sticker or use a secret greeting or something ...

I don't know when exactly or if he was going to play. The last I heard he might not even make the trip, so that was wrong. I was supposed to go to that same Baseball game but plans conflicted so I went to one a couple weeks ago. Welcome to the strip and glad you had fun.
