It sure was good seeing all the legends of baseball at the all star game the other night!
Players like Reggie Jackson, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and my all time favorite Yogi Berra (Yogi and I go back a long time - he and I have shared many a pic-a-nic basket, tehehehe!).
Who is your favorite?

Advice from an Old Mountain Man
Keep skunks, bankers, and lawyers at a distance.
Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
Words that soak into your ears are whispered..not yelled.
Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.
Do not corner somethin' that you know is meaner than you.
It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.
You cannot unsay a cruel, or unkind word.
Every path has a few puddles.
When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
The best sermons are lived, NOT preached.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't botherin' you none.
Aways drink upstream from the herd.
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.
Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in.

First and foremost - Thank you Terrellmom for noticing that I hadn't been around and saying that I was missed - you are sooooo sweet and I have missed being here too.
Haven't been here in a while because my wonderful husband, of 32 years, has been in the hospital for the first time in his life (except for being born). And of all things to go in for the first hospital stay - he had to have an aortic valve replacement along with a double bypass. Seems his aortic valve has been bad since birth but no real symptoms showed up until age 55 which he blew off as being: "fatigued from 'old age', working out too hard at the gym, the heat, etc." Thank God he had gone to our primary care physician for an annual check up and was referred to a cardiologist. And thank God for the awesome heart surgeon he had. (As fate and an angel on his shoulder would have it - my husband's surgeon was the same surgeon I_S's dad had for his heart surgery).
This all took place within a week's timespan from going to the cardiologist getting an echocardiogram, to the heart cath lab, and one day later to a 6 hour surgery.
I can't tell you all the emotions, tears, praying and worrying that took place.
So, that's where I've been and what's been going on in my life.
I hope all is well with my blogland family and you are all staying out of this heat. Take care and God bless you ALL.

I set out to my local department store just the other day to buy a new bra. Mine had reached their expiration date. You know, only one hook left, straps stretched to the max, fraying around the edges.
I can tell you there is no other feeling of comfort like a good bra. It might compare to finding a good pair of shoes. Not sure what else a man might compare it to unless jock straps are an issue.
I walk into the store and am totally blinded by the hundreds if not thousands of bras hanging on the racks. The problem I have is - how long am I going to have to be here just trying to find that right one? With all the breast implants nowadays one would think there would be a bra with less padding and more support and comfort. I have NOT had breast implants - let's just say that the good lord was kind to me and I never had to go under the knife. So, back to the real problem - what will suffice for my girls? It seems when I find a bra that works and go back to buy more they no longer make that model. What's with that? I don't want a bra that has "stuffing" in it that will make me appear like I've placed the blades of a B-52 bomber or a Black and Decker drill under my blouse. I don't want spagetti straps that will pop and land my girls on my knees either. And lace that itches and scratches the hair out from under my arms is not a pleasant thing. Oh, and don't forget the underwires that seem to make their way up to my chin while engaged in serious conversation.
So, here I am hoping that the large safety pin I threw into my purse will not have to be retrieved for an emergency repair.
Has anyone else faced this dilema?
