Where has the time gone? Collecting schedules!

It has been a very rough year. On 9/14/12, I lost my wife, Becky, of 20 years to a terrible accident. I miss her every day, my world's been turned upside down.
So, life moves on, right? Once I got through the trauma of the first few months, I settled into my new life as a "disabled widower", and the last few months my new life has emerged.
I met a wonderful woman a while ago. Leslie has been simply awesome. She's so understanding and kind, and she enjoys collecting cards and schedules with me. We started to go away on trips to get away and relax while hitting every Baseball team we can to get schedules.
I've always gone to schedule collecting when life has dealt me a hard hand.
So, off we go in search of schedules every weekend with our 2 dogs, Holly and Sadie in our Quest van from my brother Danny's Marlboro Nissan.
We have been to these cities/stadiums  and more: Fenway Park, Brockton Rox, North Shore Navigators, Portland, NH Fisher Cats, Portsmouth, Pawtucket, Wachusett, Keene, U-Mass, Mystic, Connecticut Tigers, and Old Orchard Beach to mention a few!
We try to get Leslie a shirt me a coffee mug, gifts for friends & family and a ton of schedules for our collection and to trade with collectors.
This weekend, we're staying in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. The dogs love it as much as we do!
Do any of you collect schedules? I'd love to hear from you if you do!
Have a great weekend,
Bill Hedin
