WONDERFUL MONDAY

My Monday has delivered everything I sought! Got a fill-up of gas from Country Corner. Obtaining my mail brought me a supply of pills along with Notices of VA Appointments with Dr. Sanjay on Tuesday, July 22 at 2:00 PM. I also received my monthly notice of my pension from Aetna. $282.09. The big deal of this Monday came with the Red Sox defeating the Rockies 9-3. Everything seemed to be in focus. Roman Anthony hit his first homer at Fenway. The broadcasters were high atop the Green Monster. Tomorrow I'll go to Hannaford NB. I have a list prepared. Gold was bid at $3,320.70.

SUNDAY DELIGHT

 This Sunday was delightful for me! The Boston Red Sox swept the Washington Nationals in a 6-4 victory.! Tomorrow the Sox return to Fenway and everyone will be upbeat. I know I will. Today has been HOT again I try to escape the heat with my AC and Fan going full speed again. No word from Son Ben. who will be coming home, maybe on Tuesday to pay his final respects to his late friend "Joe." Tomorrow I will call for my mail at 01585 and tank up on gasoline at Country Corner. The extreme heat is back!

BASEBALL SATURDAY FOR THE RED SOX

 This was a confusing day for me! I thought it was Sunday until Chase Robert corrected me saying "It's Saturday, Pops!" Today was full, with Josh mowing my lawn and taking my "dirty" laundry. He relayed an invitation for me to have lunch at Ronnie & Chrissies for 2:00 PM. As usual the meal was splendid, and the company saw me enjoying my 4 Grandchildren Chase Robert, Lily, Maddie and Evie. The Red Sox game versus the Nationals came on at 4:05 PM. It was another great victory with Boston winning 10-3! Tomorrow, Sunday, I plan on watching Joel Osteen on Daystar at 10:00 AM. I did speak with my sister Jan for about 8 minutes. The warmer weather will be returning.

MY FOURTH OF JULY 2025

The baseball game in Washington DC began at 11:05 AM against the Nationals. It didn't take long for the SOX to take a commanding lead. The final score was 11-2 Sox! Josh came by earlier with Miley with my "clean" laundry. and invited me to join him later in Birch Hill. There's lots of Fourth July festivities both from Boston and Washington. I plan on watching enjoying everything to the fullest! I enjoyed seeing the Fourth Celebration at Common's edge this morning! Today's NEW YORK TIMES has a full display of the unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united STATES OF AMERICA. "In Congress July 4, 1776. as Free and Independent States". Each signer has their names and states represented. John Hancock served as president of the Continental Congress. His signature is bold and easily recognized. The only Catholic to sign the Declaration was Charles Carrol of Carrolton from Maryland. Later in this Fourth Celebration I drove the Allante' to Birch Hill for a relaxing time with family. Evie was making bracelets as Chase & Lily & Heidi joined in. I came home to watch the two programs celebrating the Fourth. Now I hear the noise of fireworks from downtown. Seems to be the biggest celebration I've ever heard! This Fourth of July 2025 in West Brookfield has proven to be sheer perfection!

QUIET THURSDAY - JULY 3, 2025

 It has been a quiet day for me! Seems last night's festivities on the Common was perfect; Today saw a cloudy, dismal day with not much going on. All of the news was focused on tomorrow's Celebration of July 4th. I plan on watching tomorrow's Celebration on PBS tomorrow night at 8:00 PM. It is a ritual for me. The Boston Red Sox will be playing the Washington Nationals at 11:05 AM on NESN. Called Josh no avail. The weather has cleared. We had a nominal thunderstorm about 5:00 PM then the sky cleared. Looks like July 4, 2025, will be perfect in every way. Today's price of Gold was bid at $3,342.20.

INTERESTING JULY WEDNESDAY

My July 2, 2025, has been interesting for me! After doing my banking and fetching the newspapers Josh came by. It was a pleasant visit as I paid him my rent for the Poodle. He also brought the news of Son Ben's friend Joe obituary at age 51. Later in the day Ben called me with the details. He plans on coming to Connecticut for the funeral. He also plans on coming to West Brookfield.  As for the Red Sox. the first game was a victory against the Reds 8-4. Tonight's loss was by 4 runs. I took the Allante' out for a spin checking out the wonderful crowd on the WB Common. Tomorrow, I'll weigh myself. No Sox game tomorrow. They are headed for DC and 3 games over the weekend.  Enjoy the Holiday with family and friends!

BASEBALL TUESDAY 7-1-2025

 My baseball Tuesday came in watching The Toronto Blue Jays defeat the Yankees! It was a sunny day in Toronto. Seeing the Yankees humbled tells me there's more to MLB than the Yankees! After filling 5 days' worth of pills in my Cady I decided it was time to go to Hannaford NB My approach was different knowing there were some things needed... other a treat. One purchase was the TWIZZLER Strawberry licorice. My total purchase came to $121.10 with the 5% Senior Discount of $5.26. Tonight's Red Sox game is in a Rain Delay with the Sox ahead 2-1. Spoke with Josh briefly saying It was July 1 and I had rent money for him! Never showed up.  We had heavy rain and thunder about 5:00 PM. My rain gauge is full of pine needles, so I do not have a reading. The price of Gold was bid at $3,369.550.an ounce. The Bonfire Concert is tomorrow from 6-930 pm. featuring Wheelsmith. Hopefully the weather will cooperate!
