Brian and I set up recurring donations to a local food bank today and now off to fill neighborhood pantries with shirts, food, scarves, & caps. Sharing not for you to tell us we're good people, but as a call to do all you can to help & protect your community. The smallest effort can be life saving.

First Icehogs game of the season for me. Rockford vs. Grand Rapids giving me AAGPBL vibes. Good thing I've got my Peaches hoodie on. #GoHogs

For no reason, I decided earlier that I would start following an NFL team and be semi-obnoxious about it. Seeing this beauty in Minneapolis last summer has pushed me toward the Vikings. The fact that right wingers are losing their minds over the Vikings' male cheerleaders seals the deal. 💜🏈💛

After several speakers reminisced about Shirley, they officially broke ground to This Used To Be My Playground. I got misty and had a moment to myself behind the ticket booth. Every event without Shirley will be bittersweet. But we saw Queen B honored and it was a great day.

The only thing better than celebrating baseball history is being there when it's made. Just missing my friend, Shirley B. Congrats Maybelle Blair, IWBC, and the city of Rockford! #APlaceofTheirOwn
