Goodyear City Market and Ballpark

HAPPY 90TH BIRTHDAY DAD !!!

Super Bowl Sunday...time to catch up on all of the stuff I should do..(I only watch the commercials)

We have had a week of "not so good" weather..(nothing compared to the rest of the country, but we are in Arizona..the "Valley of the Sun").  We spent 2 days inside (except for dog outside time) with COLD&WIND..water froze up 2 nights in a row, even though Wally had the pipes insulated and a rug over all..had the slides both pulled in because of high wind.  You have not lived until you have the 4 of us (Moko & Mya included) claustrophobic from being stuck inside, but we had plenty of good books to read.  Thankfully, the weather has cleared, the temp is coming up, and the sun is out again.
There was a Goodyear City Market on Saturday, so we drove over, it was only a few miles from us. I had hoped we could find some fresh veggies, but it is the wrong season for local produce..There was not a lot there, but we did buy a bottle of "Lil Sassy's Salsa (Sassy says it all) Pineapple Margarita...The person who sold it said it was really good on baked chicken besides chips, I will let you know once we try it out.

The market was held in the field right next to the Goodyear Ball Park, which is the home of the "Cactus League"  This is the spring training field and ball diamond for the Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds.. Spring training starts 02/13 and the first game will be 02/25..


This 60 foot sculpture is in front of the ballpark enterance, surrounded by gardens and water falls.
the height of 60 feet equals the distance between home plate and the pitcher's  mound..
