Project blue - Take six

Going to a Rays baseball game is beginning to be a fun experience. This is the first year in their history that they're having a winning season. Last Saturday night was Bradenton night at Tropicana Field. Three friends from Sweet Adelines and I went to watch the Rays beat the White Sox.

Pictured here is Raymond, the Rays' mascot. I thought he was wearing enough blue to qualify for Project Blue. It was Country Night, so he was dressed accordingly. After the ballgame there was a concert by Trace Adkins. The game sold out, and that is a rarity there. I think the concert had something to do with it. As they are winning more games, attendance seems to be increasing, and that's a good thing.

Pitching has improved greatly, and the defensive plays have been fun to watch. They are a young team with many good years ahead. At least that's what we're all hoping.

Project Blue - Take 5

Can you tell I'm getting ready for Ella's arrival? Her parents are bringing her to see me in less than two weeks.

While shopping for some necessities for her, I got a little carried away and found these W*nder Pets. When I was with her this winter, we watched their program on N*ckelodeon. I tried in vain to find some of them when I went shopping then.

But hooray, the other day I found these. When I taught first grade, I kept up with what was all the rage with kids, but having been away from the classroom for nine years, I've been out of the loop. Well, I'm getting back in. And it's FUN! Happy Friday, everyone.
