I found these folks hanging around on my patio this morning--my stalkers! My mom and dad are visiting from Iowa, and Dan just left for his return to CA. Because Dan's time here is in short supply, and my parents don't travel across the country as readily as they used to, we had them all here at the same time. It is so lush and green here right now, everything is growing like gangbusters. The woods around our house become so dense with the underbrush, vines, weeds, etc., that we really feel isolated because we don't see much of the neighbors' houses. Kind of feels like being on our own little island! Today is sort of hot and steamy, so the A/C is feeling good.
Not much sewing or quilting going on around here, but I will be back at it soon. I have several things in the queue.
This was my souvenir of the Twins' game--an empty root beer bottle! I know, some people buy all kinds of fabulous team gear and baseball stuff. I just collect the free stuff! When we used to camp a lot, nearly all our cups and glasses were from the ballpark! Actually, I thought it was pretty neat and will be good for holding a stem or two of flowers. And it was very tasty root beer, too!

Do you remember seeing Harmon Killebrew play when we all went to a Twins game when we were kids?
I do remember going to the baseball game, it was a significant event in our young lives to go to the big city. I don't remember the players at all, but I do remember that I got a pen shaped like a baseball bat. And we went out to eat a restaurant that had aquariums in the walls. Many years later, as an adult, Bob and I went into that same restaurant and I had one of those deja vu moments when I realized I had been there before. Do you know what year that was?
That is a great pic of your folks! Glad to see them looking so well. Have a great holiday week-end!
I remember that pen! It was so cool. And yes, I remember the restaurant with the aquariums in the walls. How crazy that you and Bob went there again. I have no idea what year it might have been, but the Parental Unit might know. Killebrew played in Mpls from 1961 to 1974, and I'm guessing it was one of his earlier years. I think I was fairly little at the time.
Jan, you have always been fairly little compared to me! the Parental Unit is of no help on the date.
