Happy Halloween

From

my house

to

yours!

Is It Just Me...

or is this guy GORGEOUS?

I'd never heard of or seen him before last night!

I had a hard time concentrating on my beloved Giants because of him!

I even found myself silently rooting for him!

I definitely did not want to see him yanked

because of a blister!

Now, I'm completely smitten!

 I didn't see that coming!

Go Rangers?!
(Just Joking!!!)

Game On!

There was only one word to describe

Game 1 of The World Series... 

  U N B E L I E V A B L E !

I still can't believe I was there!

Fans were lined up early to get a chance to peer through the "knot hole".

McCovey Cove was electric!

It was one big party!

(I didn't notice until I uploaded this image the name of the boat, Lazy Dolphin!)

 

McCovey Cove, named after Hall of Famer Willie "Stretch" McCovey, is where left-handed power hitters hit the ball out of the park to get what's called a splash hit home run.

 And then it's a race to retrieve the prized momento!

The rally pumpkin!

Giddy fans!

We took a lap around the ballpark before taking our seats. The energy was palpable.

Standing room only Sky Bar

Fans getting provisions.

Too cute for words!

We had amazing seats behind the visitors dugout.

Turned out we were also adjacent to a section of Texas Ranger fans.

The opening ceremony was very emotional for me as they introduced Juan Marishal, Gaylord Perry and Willie McCovey who I grew up watching as a kid!  Every Christmas our parents would surprise us with opening day tickets and these guys were  some of the greats we loved!

After the introductions & National Anthem there were fireworks and a fly over!

I had chills!

You couldn't have asked for a more beautiful evening!

We were one big happy family of Giants fans collectively in the moment...

After the 5th inning it was all but impossible to stop dancing and waving our pom poms!

And at the end of it all, I couldn't help myself...

I just had to snap this photo of the group of Ranger fans sitting next to us.


I want to thank my husband's amazing boss for surprising us with tickets to the first game of The World Series and for the memory of a lifetime!


Game 2 tonight!

A Swank Estate

I recently attended this estate sale in my neighborhood.

It was so cool!

I was totally digging the swank vibe.

The sectional was to die for!

I didn't buy anything but I loved just seeing the way it was decorated.

I was so curious about the people who had lived here, in this relatively ordinary master planned community.

I think they had a lot of cocktail parties and played Frank Sinatra!

I must admit, I wanted these creations bad!

I was told they were commissioned by a well known artist back in the 1970's.

I was ready to pounce until I heard the prices.

$350 for the small one and $500 for the large one.

I guess they weren't meant to be mine.

Dripping crystal everywhere!

This little Maltese is a regular,

as his owner works the sale.

This home sits on one of the many lagoons that wind through our neighborhood.

I thought it was brilliant how they mirrored a part of the fence to maximize their view of the lagoon and their small yard!

Hope you enjoyed the tour as much as I did!
