Night at the ballpark

We are still having such nice weather. We had a little rain Saturday and then it cleared up and was just lovely the rest of the day.

I went to a Mariner's Game with Debbie, Kent and Erik last night. It was a real spur of the moment thing. I had like 5 minutes to get ready. First I said no and then I said OK. I have never been to Safeco Field before. I was so glad I went. It is real nice and you are able to see the players so well. The reason we had to leave so quickly was that someone had given Kent's sister, Ann, 4 tickets and she couldn't use them. We had to drive to Redmond to get the tickets and then drive to Seattle. We were only a few minutes late. Even when it was getting dark, it was still so warm while we were watching the game. The Mariners won so that was nice.

Debbie has to go on a business trip to the new Thriftbook Warehouse in Dallas, Texas and I am going with her. We are leaving on the 16th of September and will be back on the 20th. Debbie will have to work for two days while I entertain myself. We will have the evenings and the weekend to see things. I am really excited about going. Debbie will have a rental car. That is the only way to go. After my trip with Donna to the midwest in a rental car, I think it is the only way to travel. I am not even interested in cruises now. You can see so much more when you are on your own. Counting airfare, car rental, hotel rooms , food and gas, I did not spend anymore than I would have on a cruise.

I cannot believe how Thriftbooks is expanding. There is the store in Auburn, (listed Seattle), Portland, Detroit, Atlanta, and Dallas. Debbie says there will be another warehouse opening in Boston.
