Not to be your everyday run of the mill Fall Classic, in true Rays Fashion from WORST TO FIRST , for the first time in the history of the World Series, Monday nights game was suspended in the 6th inning right after the Rays tied it up 2 to 2 due to torrential down-pouring rain.
The game resumes tonight ...will they pull it out bringing the series back to Tampa?
I will be hooking away on Santa's beard hoping to finish it tonight so I can start needle-felting tomorrow before babysitting Gavin and packing for this weekends camping trip to Brooksville to attend JOURNEYFEST... no not the band Journey.
We are going to see......insert drumroll......NEWSBOYS Your surprised aren't you?!!!
Well I am excited...last week I was kinda quiet because of a few things...it was Grandma's Birthday, she would have been 96 years old, our Grandson Gavin is still having problems holding down formula & I threw out one of my mid-back vertebrae.
I need a weekend of worship! Friday will be my youngest sons 16th Birthday and in all honesty we needed to do something different this year!

Thursday Game 2 ....
We were there an hour before the doors opened
Tonights lineup
Sahara & Raymond
The National Anthem sung by Los Lonely Boys
The first ball was thrown out by General Petraeus
If you look straight up from the officer's head on the field, to the cat walk across the field you will see where our seats were last Saturday for the ACLS game against the Red Sox.Look closer up above the Pepsi sign .... see the first row of bleachers???
The Phillies fans next to us were fun & very friendly joking with us & the two guys sitting behind us we had a great time
THE RAYS WON so the game ended half an inning early & got home before 2 am YEAH!

Rays, Red Sox Game
Well it finally arrived last night after the Rays lost to the Red Sox, Autumn is here. We walked outside at 12:45 to wonderfully cool temperatures. Today the high temp was 80 degrees, it has been picture perfect.
I have photos from the nosebleed section of last nights game...while we had tickets for tonight's game we are not attending & will be watching from home later. Last night during the games we got a phone call that my husband's father & step-mother were in a terrible accident...a lady t-boned them while en route home from Illinois. They were in Jacksonville Hospital but were released and spent the night in a hotel until Larry arrived this morning. They had to wait until after church when the impound gentleman could open his lot & they could remove their belongings from their new car, it is TOTALED. Larry just arrived back home a few minutes after we did, we took the tickets to Lori who found a couple of folks that will be attending the game in much better seats than she & I had last night.
I promise to update the photos a little later tonight or tomorrow morning. I feel hung over from not getting home until 2:30 this morning so bear with me!

GO RAYS!!!
Well after getting to The Primitive Rug Hooking Group a few minutes early I tried to help fix her email (it wasn't sending) well I found out they changed providers & the new provider password was not working and the gentleman didn't tell them their password...GREAT.
We then found out their voicemail had never been set up. Messages have been going into limbo for over 3 years...lol
Finally got started hooking my Santa about 10 just after Susan arrived with her Turkey.
There were some great rugs & a felted tree I took photo's of but my iphoto program keeps crashing so I will have to transfer them tomorrow to my laptop & mail them to my desktop. Or I could figure out how to mobile blog one of these days...BUT NOT TODAY!
This is Melanies Snowfolks Rug aren't they adorable
Melanie is now starting her stained glass Dragonflies (I love this rug & her color choices)
Maggie started this rug after the last class in September, she chose a beautiful bright green backing for this rug, I can't wait to see how it turns out.
I have to get cleaned up & change clothes to meet up with friends to head to the RAYS GAME. We are in the nosebleed section on the third baseline, but we are going to be at playoff game 6 and it better be their final game before the World Series. I have a theory that they throw the games so they can sell more tickets & merchandise by dragging these things out to 6 or 7 games.
If they clinch it early both teams loose out on revenue from ticket sales & all the food/merchandise, parking, etc.
Larry, Tyler, Jess & Gabe (apparently he is still alive) are heading to the Lightening Game tonight. So the critters have the run of the house.
PLEASE PRAY this doesn't go into extra innings I am too old stay out late & drive another 60 minutes home.

Mr. Peanut, Mr. Piggy, Mr. Gabe, MAC, RAYS, RED SOX, Found Money....random thoughts & ramblin's
Saturday afternoon I watched Gavin, we took a walk up the hill with Sahara so she could go play with Madison boy was it HOT!
I have heard rumors fall arrived but I have not seen it here!
Mr. Peanut after our walk
He is constantly moving so this is the only semi clear shot I got of him..
Has anyone seen this guy? ..
He is getting old like the rest of us and while diving to catch a ball during a softball game he broke his shoulder just days before they left on a cruise. I think Jess threw him overboard because I haven't seen him since. If you have just remind him he's not a spring chicken.
I have seen so many posts/newsletters & blogs posting on ways to save money it is great that people are thinking and not just throwing their money away. What creative ways have you found to pinch a few pennies? Last night we tweaked our budget so that we could start paying off some of our debt and found our Grocery bill is higher than we would like it to be however with the prices of EVERYTHING having gone up it will require some serious coupon clipping & smart shopping to trim that down a little more.
The kids & I raided all the change banks while the Rays BEAT DOWN the RED SOX!!!! GO RAYS
Larry was at the Homeowners Meeting so he missed the fun and found an empty change jar upon his return.
Everyone has a piggy bank that they put their change in and we have change holders in each car, along with our Table Manners Piggy Bank on the china hutch.
Each time the kids talk with food in their mouth they are fined and have to put a quarter in the PIG. We figured by the time they learned not to do that we could take the money & go out to eat in public with their good manners.
My empty change jar
My empty piggy bank
After rolling up the change we found $42.00 just sitting in containers around the house. Yes that isn't a huge amount but we did this last year too. However that is $42.00 not earning interest so we are taking it off to the bank today and putting it in the Emergency Savings Account.
There are some weird things going on in the MAC world this morning, I have had two reports of the new iPhones randomly dialing people in the contacts...and my iPhoto program keeps crashing when I try to open it?
Maybe not just the Apple/Mac world our house phone just rang once & said Imcomplete Data...what is up?
Okay I am off to finish a little offering for the launch tomorrow & start Gail's Custom Ordered Table Runner!
Check your couch, car, purse & piggy bank today find some money you didn't know you had!

Another weekend GONE ...custom baby onesies
I had a long list of 'to do's' this weekend but they didn't seem to get done!
Saturday afternoon/evening was spent watching Gavin,
here is the famous BOO BOO lip he has been making for a month now.
Don't recall ever seeing a one month old making boo boo lips!
He was happier outside but we don't have a stroller so we made our own
REDNECK STROLLER
Sunday while everyone was watching The Bears play the Buc's or The Rays (yes I like sports but I would rather be doing something else) I ran to JOAnn fabrics & found cute little onesies and iron ons to make for Gavin.
SPOILER ALERT BRITTANY & TIM DON'T LOOK
Seriously Brittany look away now!!
After washing & drying the the onesies
They need to be placed on a hard surface so I used the cutting board
Then I dry pressed the location the iron on will go
Placed the decal in the center of the onesie & pressed for about 80 seconds pressing firmly
LAST CHANCE TO LOOK AWAY BRITTANY!!
working at the Top Shop in High School really paid off didn't it?
I am not showing you the other 3 because I KNOW my DIL did not look away....she listens as well as my kids do!
Now I am sewing together a little ditty I hope to have listed on Etsy tonight or tomorrow...correction I am making salad for dinner then finishing the little ditty!
