Hello Dere,
Good morning. Carol had a so-so day yesterday and not a great night. This AM however she is feeling a lot better. She got a phone call from University of South Florida Gastro department and they gave her an appointment with one of their Doctors. We have been waiting for this for months! Then I checked Medicare on line and a Lab bill for me that had been rejected has now been paid. Probably just a wrong code.Weather here has also been fantastic. Cool evenings, warm (but not HOT)days. Around 80 degrees in the afternoon.We could use some rain though. Very dry. I hope that the brush fires do not start up as they have in dry spells in the past.I hope that the Mets and the Yankees do well this year. Last year the Mets were awful. I hope they improve. I have not been to any of the spring training games around here. Just a little to far for me to drive by myself and Carol could not care less about Baseball. The closest fields are The Yankee spring Training field in Tampa and the Pirates in Bradenton. Exhibition sports have never been one of my favorite things.Public transportation would take forever to get me to the Yankees and Bradenton is in a different county.
I hope the day we are having continues to be as successful as the morning has been> :bounce:

HELLO PEEPS
LINDA RUSSO
I AMAY NOT HAVE KNOWN JOHN BUT MAY HE REST IN PEACE WITH JESUS -
Linda Russo. I feel the same as Anthony. Deepest sympathies for the loss of someone I would have been better off knowing.
I started watching a set of DVD's my Son gave me for Christmas. It is the History of Baseball from the mid 1800's and up to the present day. The first place they showed where kids started to play the game was BROOKLYN NY. They then posted a picture of Ebbets Field while giving a short Biography of Charlie Ebbets. They then revert further back and give stories of Baseball during the Civil war. They have great narrators including Bob Costas and Billy Crystal and a whole slew of reporters. There are 11 disks in total. The one I watched only brought me up to 1900. It is fascinating watching.

Hello All,
Patsy, being an old BROOKLYN DODGER fan, I followed the Yankees quite a bit. The Yanks & the Dodgers played each other in the world series many, many times. Especially in the 40's & 50's. Here is some old trivia questions for your hubby:
1. What radio/TV announcer switched from the Dodgers to the Yankees back in the 50's? (Hint, he had red hair)
2. What NY Giant slugger ended up his career playing for the Yanks?(hint, his initials were J.M.)
3. What Dodger broke up Yankee pitcher Bevins no hitter in the world series? (Hint, you bake his first name)
4. What was the name of the Yankee player who became a Doctor? (no hint on this one.)
5. What was Mel Allen's favorite expression when something big happened during a Yankee Game? Hint( H.A.T.)Okay, see how he makes out on those simple trivia questions.
Meanwhile, I did not get my Corned Beef & Cabbage this year and I am not happy about it!!! #-o -
HI WARREN.. I AM GOING TO PRINT THIS OUT & SEE
HOW MANY HE CAN ANSWER.. THANX
& HAVE A GREAT NIGHT!!!SORRY, YOU DID NOT GET YOU CORNED BEEF & CABBAGE

BUT, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ST. PAT'S TO HAVE IT.
GO & GET SOME & ENJOY!!! -
Hi Everyone,
Well I had my daughters Engagement party yesterday...everything went beautifully...my daughter was glowing...we had a great time.
