well fans, it may not look like spring is here, but it is. pitchers and catchers reported yesterday in Lakeland Fl for the Detroit Tigers. music to my ears. I love this time of year. You start thinking about baseball. I can't wait till opening day. But before that there are 2 weeks to be spent in Lakeland at Tigertown.
Time to head to Lakeland for baseball, green grass, sunshine and food. Can't wait for the time to begin. should be fun again this year with the Tigers being one of the favorites to take it all this year. it has been 29 years since the Tiger last won the World Series. What a drought. But they have been in the fall classic twice lately, just to be taken apart by the Cardinals and Giants.
But Lakeland is more than baseball. It is a Primos pizza, Peebles, Jimbos, and Sonnys BBQ. It is a goldwing ride to Parksdale Farms for Strawberry Shortcake. Riding to spend the day at the beach. Seeing old friends we have made in Lakeland and feeding the swans, pelicans, and ducks down at Morton Lake. Feels like going home. I walk around Mirror Lake and dinner at Harry's downtown. A slower pace, warm weather and 11 o'clock swims in the pool. Sounds like it is time to go to me....only 10 more days Tom, only 10 more days.
