AT&T Park with the Chicago Cubs

Many people know that I am a HUGE Cubs fan so when I saw that I could visit San Francisco and check off a ballpark in the process I started calling my friends so that we could plan a trip! They didn’t win but it was still a fun experience! I like going to different parks and seeing what the atmosphere is like. Since I started working for the Mariners part time I tend to look at parks a little differently now. I want to know more about the employees and what its like to work for that team.

We had a lot of fun at the park. We went to a night game the first day and then a day game the next day. The first game we got there super early so that I could see batting practice and possibly get a ball. I think I need to get a kid before I am going to get a ball Haha! I am happy they give them to kids but I wouldn’t mind one either! I did end up buying a few game used ones so that I could keep it as my souvenir.

Uhaul to the Keys!

UPDATE: As of now our trip has been postponed due to lack of infrastructure and communication in the Keys. I will be going down to the Keys as soon as I can to help my friends in need. For any information or follow up further please feel free to email me at TOR@TORsAdventures.com
Ok folks…  my friend Grace and I are driving a truck and a Uhaul from Charlotte, NC down to the keys with water and supplies. Grace is a manager at the Key West Butterfly Conservatory.  As some of you have seen on the news our Keys have been decimated.  At the moment, the thing that is needed most is water!  Water, Batteries and non-perishable foods.   We have been granted permission to go to mm 74 and we will wing it from there.   We are working with some organizations that are already there and in place and ready to accept items.  Grace’s husband and dog stayed home in Key West and are safe.  They are helping to assess the needs for Key West.  Email me if you would like to make a donation! Or just click on the super easy donate button. We want to fill this baby up! I know you have all probably just donated to Harvey and the telethon but you can see from the news coverage, the Keys are not getting the kind of attention they should be.  Your donation will make a huge difference to the people currently without power, water and other necessary supplies!  (toilet paper, feminine products, paper towels, hand sanitizer )   Think about what you would need if you had no water!  NO POWER.
 
Key West  is where I lived and called home for the past 4 years. These are my people, my friends, my family and they have a huge need. Hurricane Irma did massive amounts of destruction in the Keys and all over South Florida but the Keys were the worst hit.

 

Garden Harvest

I have been waiting to do a harvest in my garden since June! So far I have only gotten a TON of lettuce and some strawberries. I was so excited to go out to my garden today after working a long homestand and see that I had some ripe tomatoes, basil, squash and a carrot! My lunch was yummy! I had myself a caprese salad and the squash is going to be for dinner!
