I just clicked over to your blog and boy was I glad to see Goodbye Whoopee Pie! Hello, fellow Trifectan! Not only do I recognize your blog, but also your handle on Janna's blog! It's so nice to "meet" you here! Truthfully, I haven't been a good Trifectan lately. Either I've been uninspired, or I may be intimidated by all the awesome talent of this bunch. I need to get writing again!! I'm hopping over back to yours now! Thanks again!Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187306461239093068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1722828176120073793.post-52146072337065408362013-03-19T08:55:22.911-05:002013-03-19T08:55:22.911-05:00I LOVED this post.

I just posted my own and decided to see how others had answered the questions they put forth in an effort to get to know everyone. This was such a lovely story and I almost felt I was standing on the field with you. I love when writing creates a picture and I could see it and feel it and I just loved it.

I played softball in grade school and my parents didn't go to the games and I didn't bond with anyone about baseball until I met Chris and by then i had temporarily forgot I loved it until he made me go to game after game and then I remembered. But true love was not had until I met the Red Sox who hadn't won a championship in like 100 years. I loved those guys for their gumption!! I guess I was their good luck charm because I went to several games and they did better and better. I then moved to Boston and I sat on my couch every night, when they played, biting my lip praying for them to win the championship and they did. Now when Joey (my son) plays, it brings me back to enjoying such a great sport and this time I make sure Joey knows I'm watching him every time.Helen G-Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1722828176120073793.post-21406870179760990842012-06-21T16:28:15.715-05:002012-06-21T16:28:15.715-05:00I loved that movie.
