Take Me Out to the Ball Game and to See Long Lost Friends



Bart was one of our best friends from high school. Larr was Bart's best man when they got married. Soon after that they had their first daughter, Betsy, who is now about 23 or 24 years old. It has been MANY years since we have seen them. They came to town on Friday and we all went to a Rockies baseball game. Bart had not really changed much. He said the same was true of Larr.


We have not been to a game. Ellie loved it. I thought it was interesting. Great sights to see.


We all had nuts, sunflower or peanut, that we enjoyed. It felt strange to spit the shells out onto the floor, but it is the norm.


A storm had been brewing so we had a cool night. The rain showed up during the 7th inning. We left our seats and watched from the first floor where we could be dry and still see the game.



It was a lot of fun.

On Saturday Ellie and I worked an aid station for the "Tour De Cure" bicycling benefit for Diabetes research. Our spot was up near Carter lake at Highway 56 and country road 23. We had about 1200 riders come through. It was great to be part of such and important cause.
