Bill's plane arrived this morning. Jamie & I drove to the airport and, actually, over-estimated the time it would take us to navigate through traffic so we ended up sitting in the cell phone lot for almost an hour.
We already had plans to meet my high school friend, Darrin, for lunch and a baseball game so, instead of driving back to Mesa, we headed from the airport to the Arizona Mills Mall to wander around for a bit. After lunch at the Rainforest Cafe, we went to Tempe Diablo Stadium to watch the Dodgers vs. Angels. We try to get together with Darrin every year and since we're all big baseball (all sports, really) fans, it's fun to hang out at the ball park. (side note: one great high school memory I have is of Darrin's dad...his favorite greeting was "hello sports fan!")
Jamie was happy to see his daddy (so was I!) and we had a great visit with Darrin. And...the Dodgers won! Jamie, again, had to pick a team to cheer for and it had to be the one that we weren't cheering for. Since Darrin & I both grew up in the days of the Albuquerque Dukes, we still tend to bleed a little Dodger blue. So, Jamie decided to cheer for the Angels...and actually, since Mike Scioscia (a former Albuquerque Duke) is the Angels manager, I could've gone with either team. I was just happy to be enjoying the warm sunshine and watching baseball! We also were entertained by someone climbing the small butte just past the outfield...our entire section cheered when he summit-ted!

Found out today that my mom's camera doesn't read the SDHC card that I transferred to it from my camera. Her camera has a small internal memory and I was able to take pictures so it never occurred to me that they weren't being saved to the card...until we got to the game & I started taking pictures and got the error message that the memory was full. So, I had to delete some of the pictures I took at the Cubs game and then had to be selective of what pictures I took today. Tonight I got the pics off of the camera's internal memory downloaded and put in a regular SD card so, now I think I'm set for the rest of the week!
