I have just finished watching the most unbelieveable Baseball game.  The Cleveland Indians beat the Rays 13-2.  The Indians had lost the last 15 games they have played. How am I supposed to get a good night's rest after watching the Indians scalp the Rays so badly.
The early afternoon was pleasant though.  My friend Barbara B. and her Son Al came for a visit.  As I have said before Barbara was my first friend upon arriving in Florida.  I hesitate to tell you how we first met. Her husband was a Police Officer with the St. Petersburg Police Dept. and I had gotten a ticket the first week I drove in St. Pete. My Husband knew her Husband was a Police Officer and he took the ticket over to their home and asked if he could do anything about it. I think they call it fixing the ticket. Well, of course he could not. So Barbara kind of took me under her wing and taught me how to drive in a big city. She also showed me the right places to shop for groceries or whatever I needed.Â
She has two Sons and a Daughter and they all call me Aunt which makes me very happy.  And, of course, Al is my God Son.Â
Barbara has a home here and will be staying for a while so she will be back again and we can do some more catching up.Â
I will leave you with a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson:
       " A friend might well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature. "
Love and prayers from here to there
