Not Lost Yet

No, I am not lost yet, just busy.

Getting your house ready to sell is time consuming.  Trying to calm all the fears and concerns that go with it is also time consuming.  More about that later.

Today was sort of a special day for hubby who is a devoted St. Louis Cardinals fan.

Today was "Stand up for Stan" Day at Busch Stadium.

The "Stan" I speak of is the one and only Stan Musial.  Mr. Musial played for the St. Louis Cardinals back in the day.  He has been retired from playing baseball for 41 years.  In November he will be 90 years of age.  His team number '6' has been retired.  He is a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.  Mr. Musial has remained in the St. Louis area and in contact with the Cardinals organization throughout his retirement from playing baseball.  He has many, many, many fans.  A group of fans began a petition for Mr. Musial to visit the White House to receive a Congressional Medal of Freedom.  So today was the day for the fans to show support and honor Mr. Musial. 

Today was "Stand Up For Stan" Day at Busch Stadium.

This is the fun little giveaway that was given to all spectators upon entering the ballpark.

Everyone was taking a picture of their "Stand for Stan" cutout.

Highlights of Mr. Musial's baseball career were shown on the gigantic electronic scoreboard.

The between innings word game spelled out "Stand for Stan".

The flags in the picture represent each of the Cardinals World Series victories.



Mr. Musial greeted players and staff of the Colorado Rockies.  Our seats were along the third base line.

Everyone, including Colorado Rockie fans, held up their "Stand for Stan" cutout and cheered.

Go here for the best pictures of this event.

All in all it was a great day.  Hubby got to see his hero.  We were able to show our support and honor a good man.  And the Cardinals won in extra innings.

No quilting done here.  I almost went into "tea withdrawal" because there is not tea at the ballpark, only beer, soda, and water.

Have a super great day.  And, thank you for visiting.
