Make-A-List Monday

We had a wonderful day on Sunday at Citi Field in Queens, NY cheering on the NY Mets.



Thanks to my son, Kyle, we sat six rows behind home plate in the Delta Gold section.  They were wonderful seats with all food included.  



Ryder enjoyed himself immensely.  He especially liked the fruit and the vanilla shake from Shake Shack.




Whoa!  Mr. Met is really big!!!

  1. Your quilt blocks are wonderful. The colors just POP! And your grandsons quilt looks like it will be a lot of fun. I am impressed that you keep such a long "to-do" list... I would be overwhelmed and not know where to start. There sure are some fun projects on your list!
