I can't believe they did it!

The Cubs won the World Series!!  Wowzer!!  My team that I grew up with - that always lost, but we still loved them.  The numerous games I went to at Wrigley Field  - and only remembering a handful of times where Harry would yell 'Cubs Win'   They are even more lovable now that they are Winners!

 

Watched most of the games in Florida

 

The excuse note that the Cubs sent out for Game 7

 And all the amazing wonderful tweets when they did it - in game 7!

 This guy is brilliant.

 

And it was so wonderful how they brought Harry back to life, so he could enjoy the moment too.

I can't wait to get back to Chicago, and take a picture at Wrigley with those amazing words - WS Champions!

I was so happy that our cable company has WGN, so I could watch the victory parade.

 The crowds were amazing!

 And of course - one more time - 'Go Cubs Go'!!!

Enjoying a week in FL

I met my mom in FL for a nice little vacation!

 

Pretty flowers

 

 Blue pools!

 Lovely sunsets

 warm weather (at 8 am :)

 Yummy cupcakes!

 More yummy cupcakes

 Beach walks

 Fun beach sculptures - this was a race car

 More pool time

 Fun with neighbors

 that like to play games

 and beautiful FL birds.  It was a wonderful way to spend the week.  Thanks Mom!

Final Car show of the season

Our friends came from CT for a visit before the show.  Bolts loves visitors!

 

 It was a beautiful morning - albeit quite chilly!!  Brrr! 

 Breakfast first - yum!  But then it takes the guys a while to get moving...

 A pretty drive to the show

 Chris added some wheel covers to the roadster for a different look.  He's not too fond of the color - it looks good in some lights, but not in others.  He doesn't think he'll keep them on long.  Just nice to change things up here and there, without making it permanent.

 A nice turnout - even with the cold windy weather

 Our friend Ritchie brought his new Model A - very nice!

 Once again - one of the last to leave :)

 But another beautiful drive home!  Great way to end the season!

Starting the sailboat winterizing process!

Good weather periods have been short, so it will take a few days to winterize our sailboat.

One afternoon, Chris was able to change the oil in the motor, and take almost all the cushions and extra sails off the boat.

 

 It was a little crowded on the way home :)

Swap meet season!

Maybe it's not the best sailing season, but it is a good time for swap meets!

And when they are in Connecticut, you are guaranteed a beautiful ride through the fall foliage!

 

 and quaint towns!

 A lot of people with stuff - but not anything Chris really needed.

 But it's fun to walk around - good exercise!

 It was held at a race track, so there was a lot of space

 The drive home was just as spectacular

Go Cubs Go!

So happy to see my favorite baseball team make it to the World Series!  It's been a long time coming for a winning season - let alone making it to the biggest game!

 

I took these photos with my phone - while watching the game on TV :)

 

 all thanks to this guy.  He really is a genius - first with the Red Sox and now with the Cubs.  He's got to feel pretty good!!

 So fun to watch - and I was happy the final game to clinch their spot was so enjoyable since they scored early and often!  It will be nice if they win the WS, but this Cubs fan is just happy they've made it this far!!
