A Relaxing Sunday

Today was sooooo nice. It was a beautiful, hot sunny day ... 91 degrees here in La Pine. Our precious niece came to visit from Bend and she became reacquainted with her sewing machine, making a doll and finishing her lizard. She played with the dogs, and kept us good company with her wit and imagination. While she was sewing, I worked on my vegetable collage poster ... I'll post a photo of it when I am all done. Here are pictures of what our gal made:





My Mom also stopped by to visit and we all watched my two favorite teams play each other, the Mariners and the Red Sox. Jacoby Ellsbury, from Madras (and OSU), was playing well today, and yesterday too. (Jacoby got my Mom watching baseball ... she likes those home town boys). We are so proud of Jacoby, let me tell you. But, through thick or thin, as much as I love Boston, the Mariners are my team. They are my best friend husband's team, and he got me hooked on baseball and I am a loyal gal. Also, in case you missed it, the Mariners won. Yeah! They actually won the two out three games against Boston this weekend, and that is good.

Here is a picture of Jacoby:



It was so nice to hang out with my clan today. I just was missing watching Jamie Burke playing with the Mariners as a full time catcher in today's game. (Jamie is another hometown boy, growing up in Roseburg and playing for OSU.) Mariners Management, here is my advice: either hire him back as a catcher, or add him on as one of your coaches. You guys know that this is a good idea, so please do it! Jamie has so much to offer the Mariners, so put him back to good use.
