Day 4, of Angie being in the DR, and Oh, the Phillies won

Philadelphia is now going wild, not because of this blog but the Phillies have just won the world series. For those reading this and not from the USA, this is Baseballs biggest trophy (and yes it is called the world series but no other countries are invited to join!). The phillies have only won this once in 126 years and the last time was 25 years ago so quite the event. There are fireworks going off even in our area and car horns beeping!

Now I have put the world into perspective, there is a link.......it will be quite the night in the DR for Angie. Apparently most folks over there are really keen baseball fans and many of them support the Phillies. I can only imagine the celebrations that will be going on.

So to the texts from Angie - just the two (and nothing about a rooster......it must be dead or had its beak taped shut!).

8 am: So last night we turned Uno into a drinking game. Crazy game. Crazy people. About to go to another camp.

5.30pm. No power or water for 24 hours. I am disgusting. Really bad camp today - we saw 120 kids.

The last text says it all. I know she will be finding this tough and I have heard nothing else. Here at home, I think Biggles states it well.....he has taken to sitting outside in the cold at the end of the driveway waiting for Angie to come home.
