Farewell to the Dome

My last game at the Metrodome. :(
It was an awesome game though! The Twins were down 0-3 to the Indians, then scored 6 runs in the bottom of the 8th inning to win.
This is the girls and Neil cheering after a Twins homerun.
We were all sad to leave. Except Maria, she could care less, coming from MI and all...

CKydsWeekend

is here again. Wow, the year flew by!
Hopefully lots of people here this weekend. I get to completely enjoy it this year, since Kayla is doing all the planning. She is impressive. Not even stressed. When it was me, I was a mess.
Anyway, I'm off work now, so here's to a fun weekend!

Kwood

This is a neighborhood of the city where the standard is to have lawncare service, and a nanny. Or both. As well as a gardener and a cleaning lady.

I happen to be one of the nannies. And every day that I work, I see the lawncare guys. By now, I recognize their vehicles, and I'm sure some of them know mine (it's quite recognizable, after all). We usually exchange waves and smiles. It's almost like we're a club (not the Mickey Mouse club), and now we just need a handshake. Oh wait, we have that too. :)

I enjoy seeing the guys. And even if I don't know them personally, it feels like I do. Because I see them at church all the time. So I smile inside and out when I pass them in Kwood.

And, in a roundabout way, one of them is even responsible for me finding my job.
And yes, I'm writing this at 5:30 am. I can't sleep.

Finally some pics!

The reason I haven't put any pictures from my trip on yet is because most of them are still on R's computer, and our internet hasn't been working until today. These are the ones that were still on my camera, all from Maine when we were nearing the end of our journey.

Pemaquid Point, ME. I wanted to see a lighthouse, so we came here specifically for this. Totally worth it!

St. Ann's church in Kennebunkport, ME. So small and quaint.

The elder Bush's summer home in Kennebunkport. I think I saw George! Ok, jk, it was probably a lawn maintenance man.
Kennebunkport Beach, ME. The sun was beating down on us, until we lay down. Then the wind cooled us right off. All the houses/cottages along the beach were amazingly awesome!Once I get my pictures from R, I'll post more...
