Weekend Wrap Up

Yes, I know I am a bit behind on my blogging, so sue me. I have no idea how this week slipped by so quickly, time seems to go faster and faster the older I get, and there is nothing like seeing your high school boyfriend after 30 years to remind you how old you really are. It's not the same with my kids, maybe because we have been together all along, and while I sometimes find it hard to believe twenty nine years have passed since I became a parent, it is also a reflection of what I have been doing for 30 years and makes some kind of sense when I think about it. Seeing Jim was like, whoa, we got old! Yet, oddly enough, he seemed the same to me, the same easy going manner, the same voice, the same laugh, the same smile. So except for how he looked, (white hair, glasses, aging showing in his skin), it was like reconnecting with my long lost best friend and quite the pleasant experience.

The baseball was good and I went to all four games and enjoyed the hell out of it. I did not take many more pictures, because come on, how different could they look, but I did snap a couple....

One of the local high schools played the National Anthem on Saturday. They were small and not particularly good, but it made me nostalgic for when the kids were in band.

And a couple of ducks camped out in right field for awhile on Sunday, like they belonged there.

Jim's team stayed at the Seinna Hotel, just across the street and down a bit from the stadium and to get there you have to cross the bridge over the Truckee River. Sunday after an afternoon game, the river was just beautiful with the sun glistening on it.

Jim came out to the house for tacos on Sunday night and while David and I waited at the Sienna, I took the next couple of shots on the bar patio. On Saturday, Jim gave David a hat that fit.

This was the view of the stadium from the Sienna.

In other wrap up notes. Archie the scary tongued mascot must have gotten a severe talking to after his display on Friday, we never saw that tongue the rest of the weekend. The Aces and the Bees split the weekend with two wins each, ending with a slug fest on Monday night, the Aces winning 10-9. Baseball. Good Times.
