minnesota twins...

today i head down to the humphrey dome
for a pre-game picnic, silent auction and
live auction (for throwing out the first pitch).
all arranged by a good friend of mine to raise
money for the miracles of mitch foundation.
if you can't get there today, plan on coming
down next year!
jim arranges for "tc", the mascot, to be there
at the picnic as well as many players.
the players come by to meet and greet and
sign autographs!
a sky box is provided for cancer families
and everyone always has the best time!

please take a moment today and pray that the rain
holds off for the picnic. this year the function
was scheduled a little earlier than usual and so
the risk of cooler weather was a factor but no one
likes a picnic in the rain! the area is covered,
which is nice, but...well, it's just a bummer when
the weather doesn't cooperate!

the minnesota twins beat the red socks last night
2-1 and it would be great to see them win today as well.

if i'm going to get that slide show completed for jim
i'd better get a move on!

i stayed at anne & pete's last night with my mom.
it was just nice to sit in the quiet once scott and "j"
came and picked up the girls for their sleep over.
we watched "the guardian" and chatted, it was nice.
then i slept in emily's bed and shut the door and locked
the cats out. i actually got a decent night's sleep!
i'm telling you, these cats are possessed and
with spice in heat...it's just...well...let's just
say that i wish i had shut the door every night!

it's been pretty windy...so windy, in fact, that all of
the chairs (including the loungers) blew over and one
of the loungers was actually on top of the pool cover!
everything is fine now.
last night i had to grab a flashlight and go outside
to see what the banging was all about. it was
kind of creepy actually. but you have to know that earlier
in the evening a police car tooled through the cul de sac
with his search light on, so when the banging started
you can imaging that we were just a little freaked out
by it! mom was probably glad that i was here...and so was i.

anne & pete get home late tonight so i'll stay one more night.
the girls are really excited for them to come home!

going to miss church today. i really hate to miss joel speak.

praise Him today as you go through your day!

gotta go...
