Thank You ~ America's White Table

I found this book several years ago. It is so powerful. If you have not read it, I encourage you to read it. I read it aloud to my boys and family each Memorial Day. 
It is a children's book, it is so well done to bring the meaning of each veteran's gift of freedom to us. 
Thank you, Hero's!

A little - known tradition to the outside civilian world, "the white table" originated during the time of the Vietnam War as a symbol for and remembrance to service members held prisoner of war or missing in action. Solitary and solemn, it is the table where no one will ever sit.

Thank you to all men and women in uniform who dedicated their lives to freedom's cause.

Playing in the Dirt

Playing in the dirt, that is where I have been. I had all intentions on letting you know where I would be this week. Time got away from me, here I am today to give you an update. The forecast Monday - Wednesday was beautiful. The forecast for the weekend called for rain. So off I went to plant. I am happy to report 4 of my 5 garden plots are planted.

 Garden Bibs

I bought some garden bibs and love them. I can place my tools, seed packets and phone in all the pockets the bibs provide. And they are comfortable too!

 These boots are made for gardening.

 Gladiolus ... the following basket full of corms for planting.

 My garden at home.

 My celery! 

 Little seeds, grow please.

Picking rock. This was the first step at the community gardens, my son helped me pick rock.

It was so nice to have this job done before I started to plant. 

I have one plot left to plant at the community gardens.

It was a happy gardening week!

On The Road Friday ~ Miller Park, Milwaukee Brewer Baseball

 It is Friday!

Time to take a trip. Today we are heading to Miller Park.

Our family headed to Southern Wisconsin for our spring break.

One of our stops was Miller Park.

This was our first time visiting Miller Park. It was fun for this mad about baseball family.

My aunt Sharon treated us to the game and a tailgating party before the game. 

It was so much fun to tailgate. 

I will give tailgating tips and other tips to heading to a baseball game in a upcoming post.

 The highlight for me besides the game was seeing all the statues.

Today, I will share Bob Uecker. 

Bob still calls the Brewer games.

 This is me holding the sign we brought into the game with us.

Hello Uecker

from 

Eau Claire Express Fans.

Bob played baseball in  Eau Claire for the Bears in 1956-1957.

The Eau Claire Express are part of the Northwoods League. It is a College Development League. The games are fun to watch and we enjoy heading to Eau Claire to watch some ball.

Bob shares his stories about playing for Eau Claire on the air when he calls the games.

 And there he is! In the Press Box!

He has the white hair! Did you know Bob is 82 years old and still calling the game?

We listen to several of the games all season long. Bob's voice and the way he calls the games is what makes baseball extra fun for me. Out of everything at the ballgame, I was most excited about seeing Bob, in the press box.

Thank you for coming along today!
