St. Louis Friday Night

Instead of planning the next part of The Bathroom Project, we played hookey. Warren picked me up at work with the car loaded, we jumped in, joyfully crossed the bridge, and raced to St. Louis. We got to Dan's law office, which is just a short walk from the Stadium, met Dan and Sarah, bundled up because it was already in the 40's, and walked over to make it in time for the first pitch.

This is the scene as we approach the Stadium.

Approaching the Team Store , which I managed to avoid, this time.

The Sea of Red we love to be part of.

Looper on the Mound, Glaus (new guy) on Third Base.

Got a good shot of Dan and Warren, later in the game.

Every good shot of Sarah and I got mysteriously erased from my camera.
Here's the only one of Sarah that survived. Cute pink STL hat!

At home after the game we unwound in another Two Cat House. Their living room is this vast expanse of carpet, waiting for a new couch. We lolled around at cat-level, playing cat-human games, entertaining us all.

Henry on the left, Jackson on the right.

The kewl thing about this is that the cats are IN the room. They usually don't come around people who descend on their house. But they lived with us for a year during Sarah's 5th year of college and I guess cats do remember people, because they were there and let us pet them. One of life's small pleasures, to interact with cats you've loved in the past.

Got these shots early in the morning. They each have their favorite snoozing spot upstairs.

Henry likes the back of the upstairs couch.

Jacksie Bear actually sleeps in his cat bed!

The morning fog in the valley outside Dan and Sarah's home.

They live in what is called Missouri Wine Country.

We hated to leave, but we knew we had plenty of garden work waiting for us at home.
