Family Weekend at NU

We went to NU onFriday and Saturday and spent the better part of the days with Kristen. Friday we went to Quincy Market and Saturday we watch the float parade from the students and went to the football game.

The colors of Fall

I love the changing colors of the leaves on the trees. We are fortunate to be able to see and enjoy the changing season. Here is a picture of our only tree in our front yard.

Rams 33 - Millbury 14

Northbridge High had a great game, they are eighth-ranked. Rams’ had a 33-14 win over Millbury on Saturday at Lasell Field. This was the re-assigned homecoming weekend, the original date was rained out. 70+ degrees a great day for food, raffles and a ball game. Not to mention I won two silent auctions.

Red Sox 3, Angels 2 ALDS Game 4

Well if the night before was not a nailbiter - hands clasp in a prayer formation - sitting on the edge of your seat - then last night game certainly was. 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth - we won! Way to go Lowrie and Bay (scoring run)!

Way to go Sox!!!!

ALCS here we come Friday 8:35 EST Game 1 with The Rays.

Red Sox 4, Angels 5 - ALDS Game 3

What a long game - something like 5 hours... hands clasped in a prayer as we watched inning after inning hoping the Red Sox would pull out a run and win. After 12.. we lost.

Ellsbury tried to steal and over shot the base in the 7th... and got caught - oh baby!

5th inning double
Ellsbury scored off of Youk's in the 5th They called him out in the 10th! - no way!

Rob Thomas - Foxwoods - 10-5-08

My sister and I went to see Rob Thomas (you may know him from Matchbox 20).

I just love his voice and his song writing.

These are some pics from the concert - yah yah - we were far away - but had a great time. He did this concert to raise money for Sidewalk Angles Foundation.

October

With the leaves changing and air getting cooler, I do like this time of year - except that snow is forthcoming. My son took this picture last night - it is a nice sunset with the colors hitting the night clouds.
