People, Places and Praises...Day 13 - College World Series 2013

I've Arrived at the 2013 CWS

June 17 - Day 13...Can you believe it? Been waiting for years for the day to attend the College World

With my cousin Kerry

Series. It's just amazing to me that the first ever game happens to be played and WON by our own Oregon State Beavers. I hope to attend their next game Wednesday afternoon against the likely local favorites, the Indiana Hoosiers. If they win that game (yeah right...IF) they get a second chance against the Mississippi State Bulldogs, whom they lost to in game one 5 to 4. For those who don't know, I was born in Mississippi, but who do you suppose that I'll be rooting for? My cousin, Kerry and I had a fun time on both the drive and during the games chatting about life and sports. It was good to connect again. Kerry and I are the oldest grand children, both are left-handed and baseball nuts. Though Kerry lived in Red oak, Iowa all of his life, this was his first CWS game as well. Pretty cool!

Beavers Win 11-4!

Today I will travel an hour north with uncle Ron to visit with the oldest living Williams, our aunt Erma, who is 98. Then afterwards I hope to make my 'world' famous (well at least in my little world) spaghetti and cheese meatballs. Oh baby!
