Busy Day

Today was a busy day. Grandma sitting all morning and then at 2:30 on, taking DIL and the 2 girls to the train station for their first ride on a train to meet with Daddy who is at a meeting near Disneyland. Tomorrow will be Lilybug's first Disneyland visit.
DIL had to pack for her, Isabella and Lilybug AND be able to carry it on the train by herself. She also had the car seat and the stroller which they will need at Disneyland. With all the security, they don't allow help pass the gate entrance so couldn't walk and help seat them inside the car. They are ON their way though!

Sisters before school today.

My nephew!!!!!!!!! Joey Gonzales!


Six-Run Seventh Gives Highlanders A Series Sweep
Sophomore Joey Gonzales finished with seven hits and seven runs scored in the series sweep of Pacific.

(May 4, 2008) - UCR used a six-run seventh inning to pick up a 6-5 win and complete a three-game sweep of the Pacific Tigers in Stockton, CA Sunday afternoon. Joey Gonzales finished off a monster weekend by picking up three more hits for the Highlanders (16-25, 10-5 Big West) who have won five of their last six and is now in sole possession of second place in the Big West standings.

Gonzales finished the weekend 7-for-14 and seven runs scored and Drew Garcia added three more RBI Sunday to finish the series with seven RBI. After rallying with two runs in the ninth to win the series opener on Friday, the Highlanders came back from a 5-0 deficit in the series finale to pick up their first series sweep this season.

The Highlander seventh started with Tony Nix reaching on a hit-by-pitch, followed by a Justin Shultz walk. Jordan Opdyke then singled home Nix for the first run of inning. A batter later, Carl Uhl got hit by the pitch to load the bases for Gonzales. He singled through the left side, bringing home Opdyke to make it a 5-2 ball game. The next batter was Garcia who smacked a bases-clearing triple to centerfielder to tie the game at 5-5. After another walk and fielder’s choice put runners on first and second. Nix, batting for the second time in the inning, doubled down the left field line to score Aaron Wible and give the Highlanders their 6-5 lead.

Nix and Opdyke each picked up two hits, scored a run, and drove in one. Gonzales also stole two bases.

Conjunctivitis and a Rose

Don't ask how I got it, because I don't know. It just felt like sandpaper in my eye and RED! So, like a good girl, I headed to urgent care on Sunday to hear it was pink eye and contagious. Today I sit here (Tuesday) without my dear granddaughters to watch because I don't want them to get it. Doc said I was good to go to babysit them today but DIL thinks not. I loveeeeeeeeeeee my cautious DIL. But I had planned if they came over that I wouldn't touch them or anything. Oh well! Can't wait until Thursday when I get them again!

The weather here is in the 50's and misty sprinkles awoke me this a.m. when I went to take Molly out. We need the rain to clear the air and brush wash the trees. They look so lush and beautiful once again. Son is supposed to go to a JOB FAIR at the college today. Usually it is held outside so not sure what they are going to do with the rain still coming down.

A rose from my rose bush. Enjoy!!!!!!!! I just love this time of year.
