These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Still hasn't sunk in
I have wanted to see the Cubs in the World Series for my whole life. And now I will.
I can't really believe it.
I woke up this morning and saw it on the news. I checked my cell and saw it had virtually exploded with texts. I got messages on Facebook and email from people I haven't heard from in months/years. I read the warm and welcome messages from folks on this blog. I'm grateful that so many people thought of me when they heard the news.
But I really can't believe it.
It was a beautiful Sunday. Unseasonably warm, sunny and dry under a Cubbie blue sky. Those of us wearing Cubbie gear greeted one another on the street. Stores had W's in the window. I bought my official shirt.
But I really can't believe it.
Again, I am so happy for you and your Cubbies. Our City Manager here in Lakeland is a huge Cubs fan, as is a good friend of mine in Orlando. I'm happy for all of you!!
ReplyDeleteI'm as excited for you as I was when the Red Sox beat their curse and won the series.
ReplyDeleteit is a wonderful thing for all the Cubby fans...enjoy every moment! Go Cubs!
