In spite of my lack of posting recently (I'm still cleaning up the flooded basement), life has returned to mostly normal: work, knitting, hanging out with Robert and our friends. Friday night was the first of two exhibition baseball games between the St. Louis Cardinals and our hometown Springfield Cardinals (the AA team). Tickets had been sold out for a long time, but season ticket holders were guaranteed seats to the game, and Steve and Ginger generously shared theirs with us! We have an awesome stadium in Springfield, Hammons Field, and it was so cool to see our redbird favorites, Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina, up close and personal! Despite the uncooperative weather - it was about 35-40 degrees and windy - the stadium was full, AND we got to see Albert go yard and crank one out of the park! What a great night! (I did miss the opening night of Simply fibers sale, but no worries - I was there on Saturday and got everything I wanted - more on that later.)
Oh yeah - the Cardinals won! :-)
