That time of year

GARAGE CLEANING DAY! We started early and we are almost done at 7 PM. I'm sure I don't have to tell any of you what a chore this job was! But it's time to begin to put things away for the winter and I wanted to be sure that Henrietta (the Beretta) had a cozy spot to park this year. (I hate to scrap off ice) Anyway we are getting very close to needing a shed for the mower, the chipper, the tiller, etc. So that is on our wish list.
Yesterday was Daniel's birthday, but we are celebrating in stages. Tonight is his special choice dinner and cake... so as soon as John gets home from work, we'll eat.

Red's Game

John was given 4 free tickets for today's game against the Giants. I was hopeful for a win, because they won last night - but they couldn't pull it off. This was the first chance this season to attend a game - so I enjoyed it, even with the loss. We invited Mary Jane and the international student who is staying with her until UC starts. Her English is very good, so we were able to explain the game to her. It wasn't the most exciting game to watch, but actually was played at a pace that was good for someone to learn about baseball.
