Mavis Sniffs the Field of Dreams

I needed to get off of the road to get some gas and let the dog have a walk.  I noticed that the Field of Dreams was nearby-the actual cornfield and baseball diamond that the 1989 Kevin Costner movie was filmed at.  My inner movie geek jumped for joy.  I followed the signs through Dyersville and found myself at the movie site.  It looked much like it did when it was filmed although we were informed that the the telephone wires running directly through the ball field were removed for the filming (then returned).  Mavis enjoyed the smells and peed on the diamond.  I talked briefly with Cindy, the lady behind the souvenir stand, and she told me to look for a few things including the heart located at the top of the stands with a "Ray Loves Annie" (characters from the film) carved upon it.  Aww.  I noticed when we were leaving that a brother and sister were playing catch from the pitcher's mound and home plate.  Field of Dreams, indeed.
