Off To Lakeland!

Tomorrow morning bright and early, well as early as I can get Rose out the door, we are headed to Lakeland FL to watch some Tiger baseball! First game is Saturday against the dreaded Stankees! I have told her I want to leave by 6:30 in hopes that somehow we will leave by 8 AM! That is just the way it is. It will be so hard to see Grandy in a Yankee uniform. We will see what happens this year as the Tigers will content for the Central Division Title! It all gets down to pitching. A couple of guys like Bondo and Robertson need to step up. Can't wait to get down there......

Lo the Winter is passed!

11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;12 the flowers appear on the earth;
the time of the singing of birds is come,and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

Wish I could hear Ernie repeat those words one more time on WJR to start the Spring Season!

Tomorrow the annual Tigers vs Fl Southern and the spring season is on the way! We were there last year for that game and it was fun to be there! No one is there! Great seats to be had, and Al Kaline and family sitting in the stands watching Al's grandson play for FSU.

He was excited just to sit in the stands with his wife and kids, have some popcorn and a hot dog watching grandson Colin play 3rd base. Colin will not be breaking any of grandpa's records....but it was a great day had by all. I wish we were there, but we will be there on the 13th when the Tigers play the dreaded Stankees! I hope Grandy makes the trip. Man I will miss that guy. I don't get Grandy not being there but Damon being there...Makes no sense. Kind of like trading Tram in his heyday after a so so season...

Counting the days till we are at Joker Marchant.....Yes Jack and Jake, grandpa and grandma will get you some souvenirs....
