Take me out to the ball game!

It's that time of year again... baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, Chevrolet. Yes, I'm aware that we are no longer in the 70's but these are still some of my favorite things. I love a cool spring/summer night at the ballpark. The dust, the cracking of the bat, the grunt of the umpire. My Redlegs aren't off to the best start & we did pitch the first grand slam of the year, but I'm still a fan.

Oh what I wouldn't do for a slice of my Great Grandma Howell's homemade apple pie. Everything including the crust was homemade. My last memories of her are sitting in her kitchen playing with a 1930's radio while eating chicken and dumplins and pie. My mom says I'm framed just like she was, right down to the cankles. Cankles or not, she was a very attractive and fun woman and I still admire her to this day.

Now as for the Chevy part, can't say I'm much of a fan but it is an American Tradition. I'm just hoping this Spring/Summer is a memorable one. Lots of time with family and friends, cooking out, going to festivals, listening to loud music, complaining about having flat hair because of the humidity, baseball games, loads of laughter. That's what makes it worth it.
