Another perfect day! Watched the Rays Scorch the Sox. 13-4 tonight. One more game in Boston. I sure hope we can win that one.Â
Today, three ladies from Hospice were out and that kept me from my usual long afternoon nap, so I am tired tonight.Â
Something that makes me very happy: I've heard from so many of you about following the Rays. Well, some of you were already fans but you are more interested because they are winning. You are rooting for them like you are rooting for me. But there are some of you who don't even like baseball, yet you are watching, cheering on my favorite team, and enjoying their success. I really like that and I thank you for it.Â
The other night, after we had lost one game at home against Boston, we had phone calls from Becky, watching in Seattle; Veronica watching in FL; James watching out West; and Veronica told us Matt was watching in Kuwait. When BJ Upton hit that sacrifice fly in extra innings to win, our cheers surely were heard around the world.
If you ever get a chance, read a book written by Jeff Klinkenberg. Any of his books would be a good choice. I was best friends with his mother, Bea, and he recently wrote an article about my love of the Rays for the St. Petersburg Times. Joann called him to say I am ill and that I think the team is winning this season just for me and he took it from there. Thanks to Jeff for his interest and such a nice article.
I am confined to my bed now for four weeks. It is comfortable, but I am so tired of laying here. I want to get up and walk, move a little. Friend Barbara was over the other day and told me about the corn maze open this time of year just over the mountain. I think while Joann and Becky are sleeping tonight (Becky has ear plugs and it is almost impossible to wake Joann even with no earplugs) I'll sneak out and take a trip around that maze by the light of the full moon. I'll let you know how it goes.
Love and prayers from here to there
