Playing Catch Up

Remodeling makes it difficult to keep up with the old blog.

Obviously things went well in Boston on Thursday. They owe it all to Keara. Her first game at Fenway, back in spring of 2005, Varitek hit the winning 2 run homer in late innings. Her second game, in spring on 2008, they came from behind and won in late innings. Her third game was Lester's no hitter in May. So it stands to reason they should come from behind, 7-0, to win.

Since then, we've gotten our new counters. Small set back, the new sink has a crack and needs replacing. We took care of that today, ordered another, to arrive in a week. We'll use the cracked one until then so I don't have to wash dishes in the tub anymore. The counters look great, and we held an internment ceremony for 'Big Blue' as we dumped pieces of it into the trash trailer. Right after all the contractors left, Edie and Bill arrived from Bend, followed in short order by Mary and Syd. Not being in dinner party mode, we headed to Everybody's Brewing for dinner.

Saturday was Harvest Day at Wind River Cellars. We worked from 10 to 5, picking reisling grapes, while Mary and Syd went to the swim meet in Hood River. I personally picked 16 bins of grapes. Joel had the TV on in the wine cellar, so we alternated between the baseball game and the LSU game (Bill was happy about that). Both the Sox and LSU won, the lasagna was great (catered by Hooba), so was the wine, and Edith won TWO raffle prizes: a T-shirt and Elk Pellets (chocolate). Andrew proposed to 'turf girl' in the vineyards. It was an eventful day.

We were WAY too tired to watch Sarah Palin on SNL. I watched today online. The opening sketch was okay. I'll give it that much. But the weekend update segment where Amy Poehler does the Sarah Palin Rap...oh my. Did Palin even realize what the heck was going on???? TOO FUNNY! It was a 'gotcha' for 'you betcha'. Watch for yourself:


Today was Home Depot day (again).

Check back later for pictures from the last few days. Not enough energy to download the camera tonight.

And now it's time to watch more baseball. One team will be done tonight. I love the playoffs. No matter who wins.
