The semi-bi-monthly-quarterly dinner party was at Ken and Shelly’s house this time. We had bolo bread pizzas that were good and sat around the entire time to watch the Braves go, once again, into extra innings. They were back in Minnesota playing much better. In fact, they should have won the series. It was a very exciting game, and that much more fun with all of our chanting and tomahawking friends squeezed around us.

Frank and Stephanie went Thursday night. Frank was offered $500 cash for his ticket. He had told Stephanie that $1000 was his price, so he turned the guy down. Stephanie was also selling femo tomahawk pins that she had made. Those were going for $10 a piece, though Frank wanted to sell them for twice that.

The braves played a great game, even though they lost to an extra inning home run. Alice said that the night proved that the Braves could play and win in Minnesota’s homer dome. They have one more chance to prove it.

Carol and Bob could not come because Carol had caught Eric’s bug. (Strike 1.) After the game, Bob started feeling sick, too. (Strike 2.) He felt awful Sunday morning, but went over to work on Mom and Dad’s shutters anyway. Whenever he started feeling too weak and ill, he would lie down and nap on a blanket in the front yard.
