Enjoying "Split Personalities"

What a great weekend it has been so far.  I finally started feeling better Friday and the timing could not have been better.  Jerry and I had purchased tickets to see the Reds play a couple of weeks ago and the game was Friday night so I was double-glad to be feeling better.  What a great time we had!

I realized something this weekend - Jerry and Frances do still exist.  We spend most of our time being Mom and Dad and Gran and Papa that I think we had forgotten how it felt to be able to concentrate on no one but ourselves for a couple of days.  We thoroughly enjoyed being together.  The game was probably the most enjoyable game we have ever been to.  Our seats were just four rows up and down from 1st base.  We got to see several key players close up during warmups and we had a great view of Joey Votto.  (As Gracie would say, "he's hot!")  He even threw a ball our way and Jerry caught it.  I told him that I'm sure Joey meant for me to have that because he was probably missing his grandmother!  We also got to see the king of speed (not a drug-addict) Aroldis Chapman throw a ball 104 mph! 

The game went 12 innings but our Redlegs prevailed!  Luckily, we had rooms reserved so we didn't have to drive the two hours home at midnight.  The really good part about our room was that it was a brand new Springhill suites with free breakfast and we got it on Priceline for $45.00.  (Money well spent!)  The breakfast was good and after breakfast I went for a swim in the indoor pool and had it all to myself.  We stopped in Lexington and ate a late lunch at Red Lobster which is one of our favorite places to eat!  (mmmm cheese biscuits!)  We took our time and got home to see that we had gotten about an inch and a half of rain....thank you Lord! 

Now if the Reds can win tonight and UK too, we can have a good end to a wonderful weekend of sports and most importantly great companionship!  

Note:  as wonderful as being Jerry and Frances is, I sure am glad that we also have the roles of Mom and Dad and Gran and Papa.  I love having this split personality.  What a life!!!
