We went to Old bethpage Village Restoration today. 

Did you know that there is a baseball league which plays baseball the way it was played 100 years ago? 

Complete with old time uniforms and original game rules, it was fun to watch and to photograph!

Last Day at Shea Stadium

Yes, today was the last day. 

Shea is now closed and the new stadium, Citi Field, will open next season.

I saw the Beatles at Shea Stadium back in 1965. 

I was one of those screaming young girls who couldn't hear them sing or even see them from the seats way up top. I knew it was them. My friend had binoculars.

Everyone was screaming. We LOVED the Beatles.

I'll always remember Shea and the time.....

Gate B for Baseball

I went to the Mets Game today, at Shea Stadium.

The Mets lost.  :-(

Did you know that this is the last season for Shea? 

The stadium will be torn down and a new stadium, Citi Park, is already under construction.

The last time I was at Shea, was in 1965 when I saw the Beatles.

Okay, I'm showing my age. I can't help it.

It seems like yesterday. I don't feel any older, but a great deal has happened in those years in-between.

Today was a wonderful reminder of all the good things.

I had a large Nathan's hot dog, with sauerkraut and mustard.

The sun was hot, but the crowd was enthusiastic anyway. I'm glad I got to see the stadium and take photos before it is gone.

Then my husband and I walked over to Flushing Meadow Park.

The unisphere is still there, the site of the 1964-65 World's Fair.

Lots of memories, some good, some not, but it's okay.

Sometimes you have to look back and remember, so you can move forward.
