ROAR!!!!

Go Tigers! They made the World Series and tonight was their second game against the Cardinals from St. Louis. They go to SL Tuesday with a split win 1-1. I've been a Tigers fan ever since I was a little kid. Growing up in Detroit, just miles from Tiger Stadium, that's the only sport we watched. Dad was a super fan and we often went to the ballpark, always sitting between home plate and first base. When I got older and went with friends, it was bleacher seats only. I remember the '68 Series against the Cardinals..... mom was picking us up from school and when Northrup hit that grand slam..... she almost lost control of the car as we swerved down the road..... yeah, she was a huge fan too. Those kings of baseball.... Denny McLain, Al Kaline, Jim Northrup, Gates Brown, Norm Cash, Mickey Lolich, Wille Horton and my fav Catcher Bill Freehan... bring back such sweet memories.

I got my new camera .. it's the newly released Olympus Stylus 750 digital camera.. it's amazing with all the tricks it does. It has a huge LCD screen and a menu that I can read without having to put on my glasses. Small enough to fit in a pocket or purse whereby my other digital, still a great camera, is too big to carry around comfortably. I'll still hold on to the Canon model... just add to the collection of cameras.
We have officially moved to the new scrapbooking clubhouse that we lovingly call the "Gluestick" because our group are the "Girls with Glue". Cute, huh? of course we have a frig to hold our adult beverages... don't you know, because all work and no play makes for boring scrapbook pages.
Got tickets to see Bob Seger... twice actually... my girlfriend and I will go to the first show on Wed., Nov.8 and then we're taking our husbands to the Sunday show. Overkill? Maybe... but it's Bob Seger and he hasn't gone out on tour in a decade.
