We missed you.
Mary Beth, nice to think about all those things!
And I notice that you have NO in-between innings distractions in your “tribute” or “welcome back”.
As has been stated before, that stuff takes away from the game.
Used to be one would discuss the prior half inning or innings of the game in between at-bats.
Now there is dumb video races, kiss cams, prize contests, quizzes, etc. Distracts from talking about the baseball being played.
I like that you responded to what *wasn’t * there– negative space for the win!!
“Tiny pocket calendar “ is my favorite. Perfect placement in the list too.
Thanks! I’m afraid those won’t be around much longer…
Good morning Hope!
Good morning, Marty Love your post Mary Beth
Thanks! If you follow Marty on Instagram, he is making his way across the nation to Florida via car. Just got to Tombstone, AZ!
Good morning, Marty!
I read that in my “Goodnight Moon” voice that i used when reading bedtime stories to my kids…
Perhaps you can try for the Prequel rights Mary Beth?
Either way I too am ready for baseball!
I read it that way, too. 🙂
What wonderful Friday reading. Thank you, Mary Beth!
You are very welcome. Thanks so much for reading 🙂
As long as they don’t go back to sleep when it’s not naptime…!
Joey’s in town! All is well 🙂
