Cubs Win! Cubs Win!

Now for any of you who know me, or follow my blog… well you know that I couldn’t go all the way to Chicago and not go to Wrigley for a game! I actually selected my class and then my flight schedule around the Cubs schedule. Now if that doesn’t convince you that I love, love, love baseball, I don’t know what would!

Of course we had to do the obligatory selfie with Lisa to the left and MaryElvis to the right.

MaryElvis and myself!

I loved the way that the hallways were painted! Everyone one was different.

We went with another group of baseball nuts …those who cut class for the crack of the bat! and they wound up 4-5 rows behind us.

Maryelvis, don’t you know that there is no knitting in baseball? and she’s sitting next to me!

Play Ball! I am really enjoying the game and the ambiances of Wrigley and having a grand ole time… texting updates of the score to Missy and Francis, since he is an Oriole fan and that’s who the Cubs were playing. The skies are darkening and darkening and darkening…well I think that you get the idea of where this is going.

Oh no! it was sure coming down and even though we were slightly under an underhang, it was not keeping us dry.

We hung out, ate some more, drank some more and some of us gave in after waiting 2 hours since we had other commitments. BTW I would have loved to have walked through that puddle of water, but I resisted! and the rain delay was only about 3 1/2 hours…

yes I know that I went to Chicago for stitching… and that’s coming! Do you know that I have been working so hard this summer, that this is the first game that I went to? after not renewing my season tickets this year.

Sylvester’s meowing up a storm, so I better go and see what all the fuss is about! and until next time… keep on stitching

Needlepoint, morning noon and evening! what could be better than this? I work on the computer in the daylight hours editing stitch guides and drawing stitches that you will see in the next Needlepoint Now for your stitching pleasure! In between this, there is time for taking pictures of my stitching adventures, Facebook and writing stitch guides for canvas that I am stitching for Needle Deeva, Maggie, Ruth Schmuff and others. Mostly needlepoint you ask? well we will talk about my cats Sylvester and AlleyCat, better known as "the brat". Of course I can't forget Felix who was the love of my life for over 14 years. He broke my heart as he departed for the Rainbow Bridge last year. Oh did I mention baseball?

  1. Glad you got to see Wrigley Field. The same thing happened to me when I went to Shea Stadium. We were sitting in a box and all of a sudden everyone got up and left. We were very puzzled and then the rains came – so quickly. Californians are not used to that!
