The Love Of Baseball: New York Yankees Fan

There is nothing like going to a first baseball game of the season, there's an electricity in the air that is palpable.  When April rolls around and spring training begins, our home brightens with a festivity that can only be compared to the major holidays.  Baseball caps, seat cushions, beer and hot dogs! Who could ask for more?

While the hubby and I are Yankee's fans (Terry being one since childhood) we have attend several Fresno Grizzlies games.  The Grizzlies are the farm team for the Giants and because of that I was able to watch Tim Lincecum and Buster Posey as they rose from the minor league to the majors.  Terry and I spent many hot steamy Fresno nights with the Grizzlies cheering our home team on and watching Parker's (the mascot) crazy antics.  So while the Giants will never be "our team" the Grizzlies will always have a special place in my heart.

Here's to the love of baseball:

Celebrating May Day

As a child I can remember celebrating May Day and loving this sign that winter is finally vanquished and my summer fun was really starting.  We would decorate green produce baskets with colorful papers and fill them with treats and handmade flowers.  On the May Day morning we would set the baskets on our neighbors steps and give them to our teachers.  I can remember at least a couple of years where we actually decorated a May Pole.  

It seems that this fun little tradition is dying out; I sincerely hope not since it is such a wonderful celebration of life and nature.  I am hoping that it is just that I am not at an age to dance around a pole with ribbon anymore and others are still holding onto great tradition. 

Happy May Day Everyone!
