The newly improved State band was the highlight of the weekend. The game was terrible but the company was good. Back in Memphis by noon on Sunday, we noticed only University of Memphis flags were flying. State, Ole Miss and UT had disappointing losses. I decided to fix green chile and invite Saunders, Jordan and Jack over to cheer things up around here. Casper was exhausted from his weekend w/Melba and Jack was likewise worn out from a weekend of trying to keep up w/his parents.
I watched the Yankee's last game at the historic Yankee stadium and cried like the rest of them when the team ran around the perimeter of the whole ballpark to salute their fans. People were crying in the stands and I couldn't help myself--I think I am a little old for that but I couldn't help it--I have always been a Yankee fan and loved Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris when I was a kid--Dean had a Mickey Mantle baseball card that his mother threw away and set off his aversion to throwing ANYthing away as it might become valuable someday. There's just something about those Yankee pinstripes and that great logo--We were in NYC one year on the girls' trip and were waiting in a bar for the final game of the World Series to end and the bartender was setting up these fabulous pink drinks for the celebration and the Cosmo was craze in Memphis was born. We thought they were the best thing EVER!
