SUNDAY BASEBALL

 It was an exciting game for the Red Sox! Everything went the way of Boston with an Inside the park homerun by Darren Jaren. The final score was 5-2 Boston. Earlier I drove the Allante' to Country Corner where a fill-up cost me $44.00. As I looked down at the right floor mat a mouse scurried for help! Maybe the mouse has found a new home? Spoke with sons Ben & Josh. Ben & Allison are planning to purchase a new automobile! I encourage them. Dick Fuller gave me advice many years ago: Buyers buy color and a dealer. Don't forget to change your calendars to September 1. 2025 tomorrow!!
