Wenatchee Applesox

Props go to the Wenatchee Applesox players and the Kelowna Falcons because "warming" up in that heat was more like "Broiling" to me. Even with the heat, these fellas weren't overdone for the game. They played a crazy 15 innings with a score of 5 for the AppleSox and 4 for the Falcons. I heard the game went past 10:30pm. I had left but I'll get to that in a second!
First, the singing! Our very own Mary Hawkins sang the National Anthem and the Canadian Anthem. I held the Canadian Flag. Great job Mary!

Then the pitch!

Right down the middle - or do you say center? I think the Catcher was very happy because I have a feeling he normally has to run after the ball. Well, not today my man!

Then the game begins. I, along with Sarah McDaniel, Roger Johnson and Rita Brown man the Northwest Public Radio booth. We got comp snow cones (pays to be in a glamorous job!) and met a lot of fans of public radio! Then... The heat got to me. I was out like, some not so good player in baseball. MIGRAINE! So I had to head back to the hotel. But the rest of the team hung in there and it was a very successful event!

We ate at the Tequila Mexican restaurant - great fresh salsa and a very adorable, blonde, teen waiter. He must have been the owner's kid. For breakfast we ate at The Wild Huckleberry! A lovely spot! We visited Mary at Wood N Things. Talked about cats. Speaking of which, have you seen this?

Finally, we visited the Prospector! Liquidation Baby! You know how I love a good deal! I had been looking for a flower pot, blue glaze, rather large...and what does that Prospector have? LOADS of pots at crazy, cheap prices! $19 for a big one. I have seen the same pots for $60! So I bought two. Then the Cashier tells me I missed the buy one get one free sale last week. AHHHHH!
