Not too long ago a happy mid-week surprise came my way when I won 4 tickets to the ballgame.
At first I thought “What? For real? Me?” Needless to say I was very excited and stressed at the same time. I had 48 hours to find two more people to go with us. When I entered the raffle I selected a weekday afternoon game so the traffic would be lighter and I knew it would be a 48 hour notice.
I was praying we would find someone, actually two ‘someones’ in time. My daughter was busy packing food up in preparation of having their house tented, my grandson’s girlfriend could not walk yet, recuperating from knee surgery, Victoria’s friends and other folks we asked were not able to get off from work. It is funny looking back as friends helped us think of other folks to invite.
Then, the evening before the game we had our answer. All four tickets spoken for and we were ready to go to the game.
It was so good to go back to the ball park!!!! I love the bright green and red clay look of the field and our beautiful skyline. The weather was perfect, the tri-tip nachos and chocolate ice cream yummy (no I did not mix them together) and we WON!!!!! A blissful weekday afternoon.
It was refreshing to take a break from the usual workday and even more special to be able to share it with others. A wonderful memory to add to my journal.
