I don't think I have ever, ever been so ready for Springs as I am this year. Remember this snow pictures I've posted?? Here's a reminder of what January looked like around here. February wasn't much better - just less snow and more slush.
Believe it or not, a few daffodils have started to poke up their heads around town. I drove south to Dallas yesterday to pick up granddaughter Tilda to spend Spring Break with us in Tulsa. Obviously - despite two rounds of snow in Dallas in February - they are ahead of us in the Spring category. The Bradford pears were beautiful and there were blue skies in Dallas. Even when we haven't had snow - we have had more than our share of grey winter skies.
Spring means BASEBALL. I am excited to have been selected to work for the Tulsa Drillers in this inaugral season in their new ball park - Oneok Field.
I will be working as an usher - showing people to their seats and mingling with the fans, yelling "heads up" when fly balls head toward my section. Opening day is April 8 - go Drillers!!! The Driller's organization has big plans for making a Driller's Game the numer one destination for family fun in Tulsa this year. The new ball field is state of the art and designed to enhance the fan's experience. For anyone in the Tulsa area - they are having an Open House to see the new field on Saturday, March 20.
Here's a picture taken yesterday at the auditions for people to sing the National Anthem. I was already on my way to Dallas by the time this was going on!
Only 9 days to orientation at the new ball park - can't wait. I am anxious to see what my uniform looks like! Between now and Opening Day it's March Madness - who do you think is going all the way this year. I fear my Gators won't be in the mix and none of the local Oklahoma teams have been doing that well.
