What time is it?

Okay I admit we are having a hard time figuring out what time it is here let alone back home.  If I texted you too late last night I' m sorry.  Between home, Cook Island time and NZ time it is confusing.  We headed to register this morning and got out games back packs and shirts.   Then off to get groceries.  Cynde, Marla and I were surprised at the prices of fruits and vegetables (avocados were $3.98 a pound and kiwi $3.49) but cheese and meat were reasonable and finally so was pop.  Some weird foods like chicken chips which I'm sure Joan would love lol.
Can't get a decent cup of coffee I might be awake for two days after the watered down espresso I had.  We managed to get a coffee press for our room so we have something to go with our baileys and rumchala.  Booze is expensive but that hasn't stopped us.  Drinking more coolers than rum.
Our apartment condo is on the 11th floor with two bedrooms, a tiny kitchen and a huge bathroom.  The living area is comfy and we are happy to hang out at our eating bar.
Tomorrow we are off to find the ball field and have a practice.  We think it's two bus trips away so should be interesting.  Opening ceremonies are tomorrow night with 20,000 athletes competing in 28 different sports.....just like the Olympics!  Well Olympics for old people!

It's a golden day

Well we did it!   Went undefeated to win the gold medal beating the Subway Sluggers from PEI 11-4 in the final.  It was a bit back in forth in the beginning we got out to a 2 zip lead then they scored 3.  We were rallying with bases loaded none out and they ended up getting a triple play on a hard liner to left.  I was a bit worried when that happened.  Next up we loaded the bases again and our pitcher Tania hit a double to score three.  We gave up one in the top of the inning and then we loaded the bases again and Rosie hit a double to give us the seven runs needed in the fifth to mercy.  She had pitched the win to get us to the gold and is 55 like me so it was sweet.  I started the game in right and Cynde took over for me.  Marla was in left field and made a couple nice catches. We then took tons of photos and started trading with the other teams while celebrating with a beer in the beer gardens ( well rum and coke for me - yes hard stuff ...

We won the gold and we didn't have to come from behind this game!  Fire and Ice jumped out to a 5 zip lead and then led 8-0 after two innings.  Running out of time scored a couple and then made it close before we scored another 5 and held on for a 13-7 win.  We played great defensively with a double play that could have been a triple play and some timely catches in the outfield.   Most of the team now moves up to the 55 plus division with play starting Monday.  Time for some pool time.

A little slow to get to the blog going due to poor internet connections and poor life choices lol!  Who knew we could still pull an all nighter! So much fun here on days one-two.  We arrived to gorgeous warm weather and checked into Ballys to begin an awesome night.  We got our $250 JLo money (she cancelled her concert and the hotel gave us money for the tickets we had been comped - go figure) and hit the slot floor.  After a few wins, plenty of alcohol, pizza for dinner and some awesome dance moves we were surprised to see the sun coming up so we went to McDonalds for breakfast and some of us managed to eat.  More slots and a $1000 win for me and coach Cynde we headed home for a short nap- long sun burn at the pool.  A great steak dinner at Paris and we have leftover steak, cheesecake and chocolate cake for our Thanksgiving breakfast.  Might even a drink of Captain Morgan pumpkin spiced rum today!  We are so thankful for this trip!  Enjoy yo...
