Hello to Everyone,
It has been awhile since I stopped in but all has been quiet. I do hope that doesn't mean people are sick, just busy. The picture above is from one of my walks when I took the camera along. As you can see there are buds on this tree a sure sign that spring will be along someday. I have noticed the last couple of days that the daffodils will be blooming soon.
First of all, let me get the sadness of the Niners not winning out of the way.. Really hard to take. The Baltimore fans must be so excited. Winning is really fun. At the end of the first half I was down, then the Ravens came out with that spectacular touchdown right after the 3rd quarter started. Wow! Then the lights went out. The Niners really got into the game but just couldn't quite get those last points needed. So no football now until August when pre season starts! Some of the commercials were outstanding, especially the Budweiser one with the Clydesdale colt that grew up. It is on You Tube if you missed it. They do have the best commercials with those beautiful horses. The others that I liked were the "seniors" at Taco Bell that sneaked out at night & partied. Too funny! The others were The Farmer & the Jeep commercial that honored our military men & women. All well done.
Margie, I do hope that the flu bug has left your household. Sorry to hear that your Mom was so sick. Did you get to have a Super Bowl party? I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying your Kindle & feel comfortable using it. I can't wait until I can get a tablet. I think at this point that I will probably end up with the Nexus 7 as it seems to be fulfilling my wants! Office Depot has a good special going. Hopefully it will last long enough that I get that deal which will include a cover, a protective cover for the screen & a stylus as a bundle. Only time will tell!!
Trudy, I laughed that you are all sitting around in sweats by the pool at 68 degrees. What a bunch of babies! Here at 68 degrees we are breaking out the short sleeved shirts & shorts. Some people around here, meaning the area, wear shorts all year round. I see people bundled up sometimes that I wonder how they can stand it!! Guess in my old age my system warmed up some as I use to be cold a great deal of the time. I still am in some people's houses because they tend to like it cooler. It is really strange how I hate being hot, really dislike being cold!! Did you get to enjoy some Shakespeare on PBS? My grandson that is in high school said they are studying Shakespeare now but he isn't thrilled with it. They may make a trip down to Ashland, Oregon where there is a very famous Shakespearean theater for a play. It would be an overnight trip.
Since I was here last I have managed to read a couple of books. I read Perfect Fit by Carly Phillips, a Serendipity book & then The Choice by Nicholas Sparks. Both good, both by authors I read but very different stories. The Choice really tends to make you think about decisions you may have to make in life. Sometimes there is no right or wrong.
Wow! The Choice is huge! I wasn't given an option to make it smaller! Sorry!
Since that book cover is so huge I won't add anymore of my pictures! Have a great week, find time to read & enjoy whatever the week brings you.
Take care,
Donna M
