Today is the day that is very bittersweet for me MLB Opening Day. I can see my mom holding that remote in her hand and switching channels, finding the next big league game on TV. Dad taught me everything I know about baseball and life . My dad was a Yankee's man. It was a difficult day April 5th, his anniversary passing to his forever heavenly home for me. The same day my Boston Red Sox t shirt arrived. I ordered a yellow shirt with blue lettering. My dad would be so mad that I did this! So forgive me dad, but Trevor Story is the newest Red Sox and he is different breed from all the wokeness in the sports world and our world in general. Please forgive me dad, but I have to stand by a man with character. You would have loved him. He loves the game of baseball simply and with a pure heart. too. Just like you! Today the Yankees clobbered the Red Sox by 1 run! My Rockies are being hammered by the Dodgers, U G H ! But the Dodgers have Freddie Freeman. Freddie, I am saying this with as much kindness as I can muster, You are not and never will be a player like Chipper Jones. He loved baseball, he loved the fans and he did not care about the $$$$$$$! No one in baseball will ever forget Chipper Jones and that is not just the Atlanta Braves fans! It is the whole baseball system.
"I'd like to be remembered by the way I went about doing my job." Goose Gossage, Colorado native and former NY Yankee relief pitcher.
Nothing else needs to be said about this statement.

Ellen and Lorianne Normally these two ladies do this blog hop together. As many of you know, Ellen lost her precious kitty Sammy so she is taking a small break. We are sad for the passing of Sammy but with the loss my friend Anne in Texas is experiencing, losing her boy Thackery, I can not help but think those two are enjoying romping in the sunshine without pain or suffering anymore. It is hard for those left behind, but I like to think these feline fur babies are enjoying their new reward and truly missing those they left behind. Lorianne is hosting the fill in's today.

Pink Saturday I caught a photo of this pink VW Bug while my sweetheart was driving. I also caught that pink and blue sky capture. I love sky shots.
