Tigers 2024 Season

Once again this year, we bought season tickets to Tigers baseball. I’ve always wondered why people attend games of losing teams, but I guess I find myself in that park seat now ;-) We had a lot of hope at the beginning of the season, we lost that hope pretty darn quick, and then in the final month of the summer, the Tigers came back.

In fact, they not only came back, but they made it into the playoffs. From what I read, this hasn’t happened in a very long time as was evidenced by all the pesky fans showing up at the games near the end of the season. I mean, I don’t want to wait in line for my chicken tendies!

The first two games were played in Cleveland with the Guardians winning one game, and the Tigers winning one. The third game was to be played at Comerica Park.

Not a bad view!

Ethan called me the day of, asking if I was going. I told him that I was not. His words, “Mama, you should go. It’s gonna be amazing even if they lose.” He even found me a ticket online which I bought. I threw on my Tigers gear and drove myself there.

What a game it was! Not only did we win, but I got to sit with tens of thousands of Tigers fans, in the Fall sunshine, and glory in the comeback season of the decade.

We didn’t end up making it to the World Series, but per usual, we’ve already bought our season tickets for 2025, and we are hoping for more greatness! Go Tigers!

Just for funsies, here are photos of me and my baseball-loving boy:

Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place

I'm writing this, not as a complaint, but as a plea. If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. My children are talented. In fact, every child that I have ever met is talented in some way. That's the fun thing about meeting kids--discovering those hidden talents. Some of the talents my children possess are very public--you guessed it...music. Some aren't so public--kindness and generosity. My kids are frequently judged by other children because of their musical talents. Other kids see them as "snobs" because they play their instruments well and because they are willing to share those talents whenever asked. My kids never play with arrogance. They recognize that they are better at music than most kids their age, but they never, ever show it. In fact, they are very generous with compliments towards other kids and their efforts with music. I have raised them to appreciate anyone who tries to do anything with music--it's ...

Redefining Charity

I like attending church on Sunday for many different reasons, but I dislike the meetings for one very large reason: discussions regarding charity. In case you don't remember your Sunday School lessons, charity is defined as the pure love of Christ. If you were to actually look up the word in a dictionary, it would say, "See John Kennedy". That's right. My wonderful husband is the perfect embodiment of charity. His life basically moves from one charitable act to another. Take any given Saturday. He can found building some large structure on our property because I think we need it. He can be found, rebuilding a pond for an old Indian woman who lives alone and needs some help. On his way to a church picnic, he will stop to help an old woman reseal her driveway, missing one of his favorite meals in the world: a POTLUCK! Other days? He stops to help any person on the side of the road with car troubles. He'll drive 2.5 hours to a ...

The TOOTH that Broke the Camel's Back

1. Take an already busy doctor and install an EMR (Electronic Medical Record) in his office. Kiss him goodnight at midnight as he begins to "preload" charts for future visits. 2. Host a general authority of the church for our stake conference this weekend. Receive a long "to do" list of jobs just five days before the conference. 3. Feel stress because John is stressed. Try to do his jobs around the house so that he doesn't have to worry about them. 4. Have 16 puppies. 5. Decide to build outside area for puppies. Borrow backhoe from neighbor. Watch John work long past the setting sun, and wake up before anyone else to dig. 6. Use our own tractor to move the dirt. Watch bucket malfunction, cut the fuel line and destroy the fuel pump. Try to catch the leaking diesel fuel in a bucket. 7. Catch cold last weekend. Dread colds like a hemophiliac dreads a small cut. Nurse fever, congestio...
