Baseball at the border

I feel happy and optimistic - this is the way I like to be, it's healthy.  More and more I'm gaining perspective of what's happened and what will be - in ways that make sense to me.  What a beautiful day - I have to add one more photo of my beach although I've posted the scene in other blogs...today was perfect and the cellphone pic doesn't do it justice - sand is lighter.  I was on my pink floatie daydreaming, going for swims...just a couple of people way down the shore, soft waves, and seagulls.  A blue dragonfly landed on my knee while I floated and we went to shore together.  I wrote poetry while I sat on the beach - this is the view around 4pm this aft.

On Labour Day long weekend starting Friday end of August I'm going to a border town in B.C. where there's a baseball tournament - should be relaxing casual fun to be a spectator. I know some people in Christina Lake, no - actually not in the lake ha ha but they have a cabin at the lake.  The baseball happens in a town with Forks in the name - just like the town in the famous series "Twilight" except this town has a Grand in front and....and interestingly - Christina Lake is halfway between Sandpoint and my home town in the Okanagan Valley, almost exactly!  Sandpoint is where I went in June with my Mom.  She'll be with me at the games, too, some of them anyway.  Other people I know will be there and hopefully someone who reads this may think, hey, what a good sporting easy way to spend the Labour (or Labor if you're American) Day weekend - just low key games in a quiet border town with a big sparkling lake and resort down the road!

This is still two weeks away but I'm really anticipating a fun time...as for now the weather is like a dream, hot and blue skies every day after day, warm evenings with a fan blowing slightly less warm air, like at this moment as I post my blog.

I'll probably post again before I go... know yer always welcome, a pardner in sports is always good company, jest kick off the boots and set a spell!!  Fine down home cookin' is in local eateries and the rivers join, clean & fresh in this country town, GF.
